I am in need of imaging a RAID 1 array. I am wondering if this is going to give me any issues or maybe some tips on how to do it correctly. I am nervous about it working properly because of the additional SATA RAID drivers needed to install windows and that the Acronis software see's both hard drives when you boot into their software. I am assuming the RAID drivers will not be a problem because the image will include those drivers, so windows will have the needed RAID drivers to see the array. Is this correct? When I create the backup image, which hard drive do I image? Does it matter seeing that they are mirrored drives? When restoring, Can i just restore to one of the two in the array and the array will automatically rebuild instelf and mirror the image over to the other HD? This makes sense that it would work just fine ..... but I wanted to ask the experts to try and prevent disaster. <br />

Thanks!

Is there anything special about creating an Image of an RAID 1 array?

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.

Storage Software

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
