Hey guys I have a client who has Dell 3610 workstations with a raid 1 array, Normally I use clonezilla to image pc's but it will not work with the raid. Does anyone have some software that will image raid? I only get to work there on weekends and would love to be able to take care of this today so his pcs will be ready to go when he opens tomorrow and not have to spend all day manually installing software on each pc. Thanks
 
Acronis can. But if you have a RAID1, you can also break the mirror and rebuild with a replacement drive.
 
Paragon may work also.
They have a server edition with a trial period.
I used that to clone a Dell PowerEdge 2950.
 
RAID1. You can just break the RAID, clone one drive to a new drive and let it rebuild.

It is going to have to do that anyway.

You can use imagex to make an image. If you want as GUI, use gimagex with it.
 
It's not a question of imaging an array or not - it's a question as to whether the software you use has drivers for the RAID card used. Need pretty recent LSI drivers for that, assuming you're using something like the SAS2308. The other options might not even include them either. Make sure you're on the latest version of Clonezilla, also (though Clonezilla is tricky to update - they are constantly breaking and fixing things and at least 50% if not 75% of the versions I try are borked in some way that does affect me)
