Best Way to Backup my RAID 0?

[Stangs55]

Well I finally decided to reformat ol' Vista x64 Ultimate with two Raptor 150gb's in RAID 0. Why? Errr...I guess I wanted to.

I've also got a 1tb NAS device that's ready to see some action.

Sooo...what's the best way to keep my purdy Raptor RAID 0 happy? I'm assuming that regularly scheduled and, preferably, incremental backup software is going to be the way to go. But what's the best?

My mobo is an eVGA 680 SLI, which included something called Media Shield--though I don't know much about it...apparently it helps with the RAID...

Thanks.

This is how I would do it: Boot of a BartPE disk with Ghost32 on it, press f8 during Windows PE load and have your Raid drivers on a floppy. Finish booting to BartPE, then use Ghost32 to create a image.

I back up my RAID array using Acronis TI-11's bootable rescue media. I simply clone the array (treated as a single drive) to an external drive of the same total or larger size.

That way you get RAID out of the equation.

Acronis works great.
It works with multiple OSes.

It can back up to a NAS or SAN easily.
Should work quite well with your macbook.

It restores easily as well.

It is used in a lot of enterprise environments even.
