Clone RAID-0 Array (Two Disk) to new and larger (Two Disk) RAID-0 Array ssd nvme M.2 disks

Thread needs solution

Dear friends,

Is there a functionality available in acronis products to Clone RAID-0 Array (Two Disk) to a new and larger (Two Disk) RAID-0 Array ssd nvme M.2 disks

The idea es to migrate :

from the original array capatity (1 TB =  512 GB + 512 GB) NVME M.2 disks

to a new array (2 TB = 1TB + 1TB)  NVME M.2 disks

Thank you for your help and time,

Regards,

Rafael

Rafael, welcome to these public User Forums.

Please read the document in my signature describing the difference between Backup and Cloning.

Cloning works on a single disk basis, creating a 1:1 duplicate of the source disk to the target disk.  This does not support RAID arrays of disks to my knowledge.

What you might be able to do would be to make a full 'Entire PC' backup of the existing 512GB RAID 0 array to an external drive, then remove those drives (breaking the RAID array), install the larger drives and create a new RAID 0 array, then recover the backup to the new drives when booting the computer from Acronis Rescue Media.

The above will depend on how the RAID array is shown by the Acronis Rescue media, and whether it needs any extra device drivers to be installed to support it.

I can only speak about Acronis True Image with the above comments.  The Acronis business product range may have other products which would allow you to do what you ask in other ways.

In the past when I have changed the "disks" used by a raid array (in my case usually a raid 5 with 3 drives) I have done so by creating one or more disk and partitions backups, then removed the raid array (either by UEIF/BIOS or raid management application). I then removed the drives, added the new drives, and created the raid array, then restored the content using the backups.

If the RAID array does not contain the OS this can be done within Windows. If it does, you will need to use recovery media to do what you wish to do. You should use Windows PE or Windows RE recovery media as the Linux based recovery media does not support RAID arrays.
