Getting Backup & Recovery 11.5 to recognise different RAID controllers

Thread needs solution

Is it possible to enable driver support for the Acronis Boot Disk so it can see different RAID controllers ? I'm currently looking at moving my OS to an AHCI Intel(R) Rapid Storage (iaStorA) Controller on an MSI board but natively the disk doesn't recognise the RAID and if I switch RAID off (using AHCI ode in the BIOS), I can image individual drives and boot from them but when the RAID (RAID 1) is restablished the OS imaged drive is overwritten by the empty drive which is remaining member of that RAID.

RAID support can be critical to implement on integrated SATA controllers.
Now, my experience.
My old motherboard was equipped with an AMD SATA RAID onboard controller (SB750, RAID 0/1/5/10).
Within Windows 7 and B&R 10.0 my RAID 5 array was recognized, but the Acronis Boot Media was unable to manage it. Always showed the three separate drives, not the logical volume. These controllers were also called "fake-RAID".
Acronis support team made all the best in trying to solve my problem, giving me several customized boot media, but no avail...
Now I have a new rig, with a dedicated PCIe SAS controller (RocketRAID 4310, with an onboard Intel IOP XOR processor).
B&R 11.5 boot media now recognizes my logical volume.
