Raid 0 Backup

[sportyguy66]

I recently got my first build up and running and set it up with two WD 640gb drives in a Raid 0 Configuration. My question is. IS there some software that I can use to back up the Raid 0 Array to a 1.5 TB 3rd drive? BTW my OS is Windows 7.

Thanks
Joe

Copy and Paste
or
xcopy C:\ D:\ /e /v /r /y /k /c /d

> xcopy C:\ D:\ /e /v /r /y /k /c /d

We LUV XCOPY (as shown above).

You can re-direct output to a LOG file like this:

xcopy C:\ D:\ /e /v /r /y /k /c /d >log.txt

This is very useful if you need to maintain an audit trail
of changes e.g. when this command must be repeated
with regular frequency.

We've written a simple Batch file that works like this:

put [folder] [drive] [/l]


echo OFF
:: PUT.BAT
::
:: put [subfolder] [drive letter] [xcopy switch /l]
::
:: check for command line parameter
if "%1" == "" goto nofolder
if "%2" == "" goto nodrive
if "%2" == "/l" goto baddrive
IF "%2" == "/L" goto baddrive
set CURPATH=%~p0
echo ON
xcopy %1 %2:%CURPATH%%1 /s/e/v/d%3
echo OFF
goto done
::
::
:nofolder
echo Missing folder (first parameter)
goto done
::
::
:nodrive
echo Missing drive letter (second parameter)
goto done
::
::
:baddrive
echo Bad drive letter (second parameter)
goto done
::
:: can't turn off smilies here: next line should be a colon followed by "done" (no quotes, no space)
:done
echo ON

I've partitioned my Raid 0 Array into C: D: & E:

Just......LOL


don't use freakin' xcopy. Get your hands on a copy of Norton Ghost. With it you can make a perfect image of the disks, and restore it in the event of a drive failure. It supports image compression, and several other handy features (like making the external HDD bootable, so you can boot from it to restore your image if something happens).

@MRFS
Nice

Batch file
xcopy C:\ F:\C /e /v /r /y /k /c /d >logc.txt
xcopy D:\ F:\D /e /v /r /y /k /c /d >logd.txt
xcopy E:\ F:\E /e /v /r /y /k /c /d >loge.txt

Just ... LOL ... ROFL
Norton Ghost works too, as presented.

Would if I have a internal Drive?

You can ghost to an internal or an external drive. Doesn't matter.
