logical volume was migrated to another physical disk

State before:

(a) 2 hard drives in RAID1 (capacity 698Gb) with two logical volumes C:\ and D:\ (users data) (port 3, port 4)
(b) 2 hard drives in RAID1 (capacity 298Gb) with one logical volume E:\ (the system is installed) (port 0, port 1)

I was needed to replace 2 old disks (b) with 2 new disks (capacity 1Tb).
I created acronis backup (b) and then replaced two old disks with new 2 disks.
Next, I restored my backup on each disk.

After that I successfully started windows server 2003 and started Intel Matrix Storage Manager app.
there was next state:

(c) 2 hard drives in RAID1 (capacity 698Gb)
(d) 2 hard drives non RAID (capacity 931Gb)

next my step was create RAID1.
So, I started "Create a RAID Volume from an Existing Hard Drive" from "Intel Matrix Storage Manager" app.
Wizard asked me to set target and destination disks (there was only 1 choice: hard disk on port 0 and hard disk on port 1).
When migration was finished I got two disks in RAID1 with working system.

But I got one bug:

when I opened disk management I saw next state:

(e) 2 hard drives in RAID1 (capacity 698Gb) with one logical volume D:\ (users data) (port 3, port 4)
(f) 2 hard drives in RAID1 (capacity 931Gb) with two logical volumes E:\ (the system is installed) and C:\ (also unallocated space) (port 0, port 1)

logical volume C:\ is on the physical disk where is logical volume E:\ (originally logical volume C:\ was on another (a) physical disk)

so, my question is: how or why logical disk was migrated to another physical disk?
 
Solution
I'm not sure what went wrong here, but something seems odd. Normally you backup the array, remove the old drives, insert the new drives, create the array, and restore the backup to the new array. You don't restore the backup to multiple drives then try to raid them.
