There ARE no 1 TB IDE disks. Only SATA.I do have an IDE controler in the computer do you think it would work out better if I installed a 1TB EIDE drive and burned an image to that then restored it to the new RAID0 drives totaling 2TB ?
Cloning a RAID 0 array isn't as simple as a single drive. Many cloning apps see two individual drives rather than a single drive.
It's kind of a question of definitions. I see Acronis, Windows Image Backup, Windows Home Server, and other Windows-based backups as "Imaging Backups" rather than clones. To me, "cloning" software is more like the original Ghost or other software that makes a bit-level copy of a physical disk, rather than a block-level, volume-based image.Acronis TI sees a RAID array as a single entity when cloning. I can't speak for other apps. Been cloning my RAID array regularly for the past 2-3 years.
I'm assuming that some time in the process Acronis TI is going to ask me to put in a blank CD to make a boot CD for the restore ?

"a RAID array" Acronis obviously has the required drivers to communicate with "a RAID array". But does it have drivers for every RAID array? For every software RAID implementation, every fakeRAID type, and every hardware RAID controller?

* The use of OS drivers is trivial.Acronis True Image Home supports hardware RAID arrays of all the popular types

As to specific RAID controllers - when running the product in Windows, the product will support them if Windows itself does. From Acronis Bootable Media most of the RAID controllers are supported.
I picked up a 2 TB WD external drive .. I backed up my Raid0 array to the external with Acronis TI and made a boot rescue Cd with Acronis TI. BTW the RAID0 array is the boot disk on the computer and not just storage.
I'd still not sure I'm backing it up right for a proper restore to the new Larger RAID0 array. what should the backed up file extension look like .. Thanks K
