Yes I know that this is not the best newsgroups to get accurate
information. There is or was a person who had a signature
that stated something like, the right answer to the wrong question
does not help.
Back to backing up RAID 0 systems. When I first purchased DI 6&7
I was testing it. It backed up just fine. When I tested the restore
I
was not able to do the job. XP's fault? No. Drive Image fault? No.
My fault? Yes. I kept missing the F6 to install the RAID drivers
during
the restore boot-up. Where did I find the answer? The DI help file.
