Will Ghost 9 or Acronis True Image backup up RAID striped

[Bill]

Can you image a RAID 0, striped drive setup with Ghost or Acronis True
Image. I have been using True Image for years and it has performed
flawlessly on backups and barebone restores.

Many thanks for any help,

Bill

You'll be able to back it up no problem, but restoring your OS partition
to a RAID 0 array is another question. You don't mention how the RAID
is configured. Software-only? SATA/PATA ? software/firmware? Full
hardware controller?

Try posting in the Acronis forums with detailed info about your
hardware/software setup. I've heard of people having RAID restore
success by setting various BIOS settings and using the failsafe version
of the rescue CD.

Thanks for the help. I was not familiar with that forum. For your
information, I am considering a new motherboard (MSI RS480M2-IL) with
support for dual channel RAID SATA/Raid Controller that will supply 150 Mb/s
and support Raid 0. I would be using two WD Raptor 10K 74 Gb drives with
the setup. After looking thru the forum, I am still confused as to whether
True Image v8, Build 786 will support the Raid configuration. I love
TrueImage and it has saved me several times over the past few years. I
would really like the RAID setup, but not without some way to get a reliable
backup that will restore properly. Are there any other programs that will
restore to RAID 0, such as Retrospect?

Any help would be much appreciated.
