Using Ghost to restore RAID 0

Having just built my first computer and setting up a RAID 0 array with 2-WD 74GB Raptor drives I feel good about the machines performance. Now I want to make a backup and be sure I can restore my array if I have a failure.

here is my setup:
RAID 0 using the two raptors are partitioned into C: for win XP pro and apps and D: for imaging working files.

Drive E; is a seperate WD SATA 160 GB drive now with one partition for data files and backup.

I plan to use Ghost to backup the C: partition of the RAID and store on the E: drive and maybe another copy burned on a DVD.

My question is what are the steps if the RAID array fails.

I assume it's to purchase the replacement Raptor disk(S) and install. Then use the Ghost PCDOS Boot Disk and restore the backup. Sounds too simple. Do I need to format and partition the RAID array first or what steps might you recommend to get back up and running.

BTW I am using an ASUS P4C800 E Deluxe Mobo and I have the RAID set up on the Intel controller not using the Promise on-board controller.
