Raid 1 array backup
Hi. I am considering a G-Raid with TB3 external hard drive in raid 1 configuration as a simple set up for a photography workflow offering some speed and redundancy. Raid 1 in itself doesn't constitute a backup so I would like to back up the G-Raid to additional external drives. Can I use Acronis True Image to back up a twin disk raid 1 array? Is it possible to back up one version of the mirrored data on the array or will the entire array with both versions have to be backed up which obviously means having a backup drive twice the size of the individual raid 1 drives.

Hi Steve, thanks for the response. I have a windows 10 computer. I am new to raid arrays so just trying to figure things out but I think your post has helped clear up my confusion, the raid array will be presented as a single drive in the OS and Acronis will see it as such and I can select which files/folders I want to back up. So that's pretty straight forward, not sure why I was trying to over think it :)
