Acronis Home 2011 and Intel Rapid Storage Technology
I have one of my drives acclerated via IRT, that means it is cached with a SSD in some sort of RAID.
It is not my system disk, but rather the one holding all user data.
I set up a backup in drive mode where the drive in question shows up as "Intel RAID 0 Volume 1.0." (The remaining part of the drive used as a cache shows up with the same name btw - I have not decided how to use that part and it's not part of the backup for now...would that be an issue?)
What is the best way to backup such a configuration? Are there any issues with Acronis Home 2011 and IRT?
Thanks in advance

Thanks Pat for that info. I'll have a look at that right now.
I interpret your answer correctly if I assume that unfortunately for me you have no expirience with such setups as of yet. My next step will be to simply making two or three backups with different settings and see how it works.

You are right. My computer doesn't have a chipset that supports that feature, so I cannot test it.

The backup worked. At least "Backing up" worked.
Whether or not I can also recover from that - I will never know, because I tried another feature: encryption.
This requires a password, which in turn means that a KEYBOARD needs to be supported. My new USB Logitech that I tested on 3 different Linux and 2 windows versions did not get any support. My old PS/2 with USB adapter gets recognized, but then the mouse stops working.
That's ridiculous. Backup software has to be 100% reliable.
Thanks for the testing period. I liked the GUI and features. Promising product - maybe some time in the future. I'll look for something else.
Yours

P.S.: Another smaller issue that's not serious but still doesn't look to reassuring (in recovery boot mode): Backups are shown in the list, then the software doesn't find the file. "Volume 1 not found" or something. Need to point the software manually to it, then it works. Might want to fix that.

Monkey,
At any rate, you went through the right process to test ATI!
You have the alternative to purchase the Acronis Plus Pack and create a WinPE-based recovery environment. This will use Windows drivers and seriously reduce hardware support risks.
