One thing to keep in mind with Ghost and NSR is that images must be restored to like hardware.  It also only supports Hardware RAID, so you will definitely need to ensure that you find out if your RAID is hardware or software based.  With that in mind I'll answer your questions:

 

1) Is it possible to perfom a disk full backup with RAID ?  

The "disk" has 2 partitions C: and D: (built on the 2 hard disks in RAID 0)

If this is a Hardware RAID, then yes.  Ghost 14 and NSR 2 support RAID 0, 1, and 5. 

2) In case of disk failure

2.a) Is it possible to recover the image of C & D in question 1 on a single hard disk (non-RAID) ?

No, you would not have the necessary drivers to boot back up more than likely.  This is not supported. 

2.b) Is it opssible to recover the image of C& D in question 1 on identical 2-disks in RAID 0 ? Yes.

2.c) Is it possible to recover the image of C& D in question 1 on a new 2-hard disk in RAID 0  ?  Yes, as long as you build your array first. 

 

 

As for intent, this is exactly what Ghost and NSR were created for.  Recovery from a disaster.  Does that answer your questions?

Hi,

 

Thanks for the answers.

 

So, I have to find out the kind of RAID I have.

I'll check with Sony's support. 

 

If it turns out that it is software RAID, then Norton Ghost 14 won't work, is that correct ?

It may not work.  If there's a problem, there would be nothing we could do.
