Hello gents! I have a question about backing up a RAID in Linux. I'm not a seasoned veteran when it comes to Linux (RHEL 7), so this is ELI5 territory.

At this point I'm trying to find a solution to this, so everything is in the testing phase. I'm using a RAID 10 configuration. I take a backup of the entire system and put it on an external HDD. I wipe and recreate the RAID, and boot from a Veeam recovery disk. The issue is that the image is ~530GB, and my only option for recovery is to choose one of the four ~270GB solid state drives.

How would I apply this backup image across the four drives into a happily working RAID 10?

When using the VEEAM Recovery Media, you should make the Recovery Media from the system in question, as the process will inject the RAID Drivers into the recovery media from your functioning system. That should allow your RAID to be visible from the Recovery Media.

That sounds like a good idea. However, the system in question is not connected to the internet, and cannot be. But I guess it should still be the same effect if I unpack and create the ISO from the target machine?
