Ghost a RAID-0 array?

I have a raid-0 array, and I am wondering if symantec Ghost can be used to image the array, and then restore from the image?

The obvious question is how the ghost boot floppy would recognize the array, without some sort of raid driver support.

If ghost will not do it, is there another program that will?
 
It should work fine.

You can boot off the drive right? so it has basic I/O support. (eg: you can image a scsi drive without scsi drivers... it is windows, not DOS that needs drivers)

You will need a 3rd drive to image to of course. (or you can try that whole direct to CD thing, but that can be tricky.)

the question is not Imaging... it is restoring from that image, without doing a full windows install all over again. I should have made that more clear.

In order to restore to an array, wouldnt the ghost program itself, require raid drivers to recognize and write to the array?

Click to expand...

Yes, it would require some driver support--at minimum, to recognize the independent IDE channel(s) on your PCI card. The RAID functionality should be independent of the drivers if it's a hardware RAID, though.
 
I'd like to know if you have tried imaging yet.

If you looked around on Symantecs site, you would find documention regarding the fact that Ghost does not support imaging or restoring a RAID array. Ghost will not recognize RAID controllers or the arrays on them.
