More info?)
Thanks for the help. I was not familiar with that forum. For your
information, I am considering a new motherboard (MSI RS480M2-IL) with
support for dual channel RAID SATA/Raid Controller that will supply 150 Mb/s
and support Raid 0. I would be using two WD Raptor 10K 74 Gb drives with
the setup. After looking thru the forum, I am still confused as to whether
True Image v8, Build 786 will support the Raid configuration. I love
TrueImage and it has saved me several times over the past few years. I
would really like the RAID setup, but not without some way to get a reliable
backup that will restore properly. Are there any other programs that will
restore to RAID 0, such as Retrospect?
Any help would be much appreciated.
