How to upgrade RAID units?

Thread needs solution

I'm running a Windows 2003 server on a 4 disk RAID (5+1).
As one of the disk is getting degraded, I wish to make an image, unmount the 4 disks and use 2 bigger and new units.

How can I achieve this using Acronis products?

If it's hardware raid, it should be virtually invisible to the backup restore process. So do restore to a diff size drive.

Or, undo the raid, backup, restore, then rebuild raid. In any event keep a good backup just in case of whatever.

I think for that you need the version made for such use, Acronis Backup & Recovery® 11.5
