RAID 0 Back up options.

[orion7144]

I have my Raptors in RAID 0 and am looking for a good backup solution since Ghost is not compatible with raid arrays. I have 2 120gig drives in RAID 1 that I would use to back up to.

Thanks

Open my computer... open c: hold control and press A. hold control and press c. Open up d: (or whatever your RAID 1 array is) press control V. Backed up!

I've used Ghost with my RAID array before, on a Silicon Image ATA133 Raid card

I sent Symantec and CS email and they replied saying that it can't be done and if I wanted my money back they would refund me.

LMAO...so true...so true. Hard drives are not really backup...they can fail at any time. DVDR/W is dirt cheap these days...thats the route I take.

do you mean that you can't write to a raid array with a Ghost image? And are you talking about copying the entire drive, or saving each partition as an image?

What I am trying to do is back up my RAID 0 array (for the obvious reason that if one drive goes out all data is lost) to my RAID 1 array that way my data is protected since the RAID 1 array is a "Mirror" and if one drive goes out the data is still available.

Ghost will not backup a RAID 0 array (as the boot drive) to another RAID array.

Yeah, I would do a raid 0 array if I could ghost (backup) the entire drive to cd or dvd.
Then if anything happened; virus, bad driver install, etc. I could be back up and running in a matter of minutes.

Because I play with tons of beta programs for my htpc, this is essential as it takes less time to ghost back an image than it does to troubleshoot or get rid of bad software.

Sure I can do that now but I want a true back-up. Meaning if I have to redo my RAID 0 I can just pull out the old backup and boot back into my drive like nothing happened. Copy and pasting is not the answere to this problem. If I just wanted my data that would be a no brainer.
