Imaging software that works with RAID??

[eno]

I need something that will allow me to back up my Raid 0 drives onto either additional hard drive or DVD. Ghost 9.0 doesn't work, same with Ghost 2003. I am running Raid as my boot drives.

Hmmm. I never had that problem, although I did have something like it. I would try this. Grab a spare hd, and install windows on it. Install Ghost, and restore the image to the RAID 0 array. When it's done, remove the extra hd, and voila. Worth a try anyway. And this has worked for me several times, before I got tired of having my boot partition on a RAID array (was RAID 1), and I just keep the thing on a 120gb PATA hd attached to the mobo now. Mostly it was the F6 Windows install, and I don't have a floppy. Ugh.

Darn, still no luck even with older programs.

did you run the ghost with scsi extension?
does you'r raid controller install bios extension?

 

[eno]

? Nope not sure on both. Under ghost 9 I hit F6 to load raid drivers but still it would not show the raid combo as a installable drive once it loaded into Ghost.

Acronis True Image will image RAID-0 arrays for most RAID controllers. My system drive consists of two 80G drives in a RAID-0 array using Intel's ICH5R (82801ER SATA RAID) controller. Using TI, I can and have, imaged and restored the array. Moreover, I can image the array and restore it to a single non-RAID system drive (had to do this when one of the array drives died). TI can also image a single drive and restore the image to a RAID array.

Give the free trial of TI a try. Good luck!

do you see any message from the raid controller on POST?

:thumbsup: for True Image.

I use Dantz Retrospect at werk and it blows away Norton Ghost. Not sure if it does RAID, but I don't see why not. Basically, it backs up all your data on tape, cd, dvd, etc. Then it builds a "hands-free" OS loading CD from your Windoze disk.
