Ghost/Raid question

| John Smith 2005-02-01, 7:45 am |
| I use Norton Ghost 2003 and am considering a new computer. Currently I have
two HD's, one for my OS and data. The second is for Ghost backup. This
works absolutely perfect using the Ghost boot disk for backup. In the new
system, I want to set up a SATA Raid 0 using two HD's and would like to have
a third HD (all three the same size) for the Ghost backup. Anybody know if
this works, and what suggestions you might have? BTW - I have WinXP Pro and
will use NTFS file system, and would consider upgrading my Ghost to version
9.0 or Acronis or other if that is the best way.

I can at least confirm that Ghost 9 can write from and restore to SATA RAID
0 (hardware). Quite amazing that such a simple question was difficult, in
the least, to get an answer to on the Web.
I had to actually try it myself to get confirmation!

If you say use all 120GB disks and setup 2 as RAID0 that would build a 240GB
disk. How would you store that on the third 120GB disk ?

Do you have ever heard of a "backup strategy"?
You dont have to backup Files,which are already on CD or DVD like MP3
or Videos.
Also,my ~260GB of Space are only filled around 100GB.
Its possible.
