Vippis Posted October 29, 2005 Share Posted October 29, 2005 Hi,I'm looking for a Backup tool that supports RAID controllers independent from OS. For example if your OS doesn't boot and you have to restore your system partition in DOS mode.I have tried well-known tools like Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image. I was able to make an image of my system partition, but I could not recover it from DOS mode, because my RAID controller was not supported.I'm using a NVIDIA NVRAID controller. My array consists of 2x160GB Samsung SC1614C SATA HDDs in RAID0.Does anybody know a good solution ?Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jftuga Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Before giving up on this, try using BartPE. Create your boot CD from a Windows 2003 CD (possibly slipstreaming SP1??). If your adapter is supported by Win 2003 out of the box, then you will be able to see your array and perform a restore. I have actually done this with Ghost 8 on a Dell PowerEdge with a PERC 4 RAID adapter.Good luck,-John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
