Is it possible to set up raid 1 on two partitions in the same physical drive?

What would be the point?
Raid-1 is here to recover from total HDD failure. If your one HDD raid-1 fails, you loose all your data! Raid-1 is no timemachine. You can not recover a file from the second partition if you delete/mess-up with it on the "first" partition (in fact you do not see 2 partitions but 1)

the point would be to have redundancy. This drive would be for cloud storage so I want to make sure I have some sort of safety net just in case a drive fails or something.
