Hello,

I have a server created with Raid 5, can I use such as ghost to

clone the Raid 5 disks to remote backup server, and then restore

the ghost image to a server that have single hard disk from remote

backup server?

Thanks

If this is a data drive, yes, you can do it this way.

If this is the server's boot drive, then no. To move a boot drive to a different hard disk controller like this, you will need to follow the procedure in the sticky at the top of the forum, "Switching Storage Controllers without Reinstalling Windows".
