Imaging a RAID 1 Array

I have a project involving deployment of multiple servers that are set up with RAID 1. I have a reference server already set up with the RAID 1 volume, Server 08 installed and all applications and files loaded. I'm doing sysprep and need now to clone this server to the other servers. Anyone have some ideas on best practices or maybe just simply real practices in doing something like this?

What we did was create the reference server and power it down. Took a Ghost image of it. Then set up a new server. Made RAID array as a mirror. Deployed the Ghost image to the new server. Since the new server had a RAID volume via hardware, it looked like one regular volume to the Ghost image, and everything worked out fine.
