The best thing you can do in this situation is a full backup to tape or, over the network, to a NFS handle.

You imply that you fear a disk failure but you already have RAID1 so you can tolerate a disk failure and simply replace the drive. You have other more worrying single points of failure e.g. the processor and/or motherboard, or power supply unit.

Hardware is worthless and data is priceless. You need a full data backup to give yourself an option of recovery.
Shutting down the system, removing disks, replicating them, and then rebooting the system all has its dangers.
I recommend that you leave the system running and export all data (ZFS pools) over the network to another machine using NFS.
You could even do this to two different machines and then backup those backups.
In the event of a major failure you can find a way to recover if you have the data and you have no chance if you don't.
Don't interfere with the system at all until you have a full backup.
