Dual Boot w/ Raid 0
Hi,
I have an Asus A8V Deluxe mbrd, 4 gig dram, 2 WD 500G hd in Raid 0 w/ an extra 75G Raptor Hd not in the raid. Was planning to install Win7 Pro and Ubuntu Mint on the Raid configuration. Would appreciate if someone could definitively tell me if I can use Acronis Home version to backup the raid configuration w/ a dual-boot system and / or what kind of problems / solutions I may need to consider if I do it this way. Otherwise, I may just drop the raid configuration and use them as separate hd. I've asked Acronis themselves but what they tell me is that even if I were to install each of the OS in a different partition, they would not recommend nor guarantee that upon a restore that, if I were to image the partitions separately, that they would work properly without some kind of "fix". They mentioned that the only sure way would be to image the entire drive with both OS then it would be o.k. if I used the Bootable Rescue Disk method.
I would like to have the freedom to perform Incremental and Differential backup options with this setup as well.
Please respond at your earliest convience,
Mike
p.s. - I was looking in the forum for answers but could not find a scenerio with both conditions but I did notice that it seems important to first install Acronis PRIOR to installing the OS's. Is this correct?
