Can anyone recommend software that will take an exact copy of a server, currently a raid 1 mirror, store the image on an external USB drive & then boot from a cd & recopy the image to new drives?
Dell Server with Raid 1, one drive has failed, but as its using a hostraid adapter, you cant just replace the faulty disk with a new one & rebuild the array as the hostraid adapters are basically software raid at a bios level.
Dell are sending two new disks, which means building a new array, but as this 2003 server is also a terminal server, setting it back up again will take a day or two to do.
If I can copy the entire server to an external drive as an exact mirror, so that I can reinstate it to the new drives & carry on as if nothing has changed, but I need to be able to boot from a cd or floppy to recopy the image to the array.
Ghost, Acronis True image (which version?) & any other software?
Thanks
