I have a Debian Linux box with a software mirror using mdadm. I would like to image this machine and restore it to the same hardware using Acronis backup and recovery. Has anyone had any success imaging a linux box with a software mirror? Every time I have restored the image I created (same hardware) I get a unable to boot error.

I have never had any luck using Acronis if your looking for a free imaging software try http://clonezilla.org/ or my personal recomendation paragon http://www.paragon-software.com/home/dc-professional/ its not that expensive at $40.
