Help for a "How to" please

Thread needs solution

Hello, I have Acronis Backup 11.5 on windows 7 64 bits. I had 2 HDD with a Windows Raid 1, one of them failed. So I bought another HDD to rebuild the RAID, but the new disk has different size of physical cluster and Windows can't manage it. How can I use Acronis Backup to save the system from the old disk to install it on the new, so that I can use an identical disk to rebuild my RAID ? I wanted to create au starting disk but I'm lost in the options. Can somebody help me ?

Hello Cyrille,

thank you for your posting!

The best way would be to create a backup of the old disk, validate it in order to make sure that it can be used for recovery, build a desired disk group and restore. Here you can find more information on Backup and recovery of Windows dynamic volumes.

Thank you.
