I want to buy two ssd's and run those in RAID 0 but then I also want to have a backup HDD that has the content from both of the ssd's on it. What raid level is that?

A drive that would mirror 1 to another is RAID1. Your best option would be to use those SSDs as your boot device and have a 2-4TB mechanical HDD for storage and only backup stuff you don't want gone in the event one of the SSDs fail.

Backing up an OS isn't really needed as you can just reinstall it which is only a pain to do.

RAID'ing SSD's IMO is a no no since its not needed.

You have have the 2 SSD's, 1 for OS and the other for misc and have Windows backup a whole SSD to a HDD periodicly. Well, at least that's how I would do it

It's kind of RAID 10 because you're mirroring a striped volume.
