NVRAID and TI9

[Gras]

After about 4 hours of looking for solutions I decided to try the bootable rescue media disc and select the "Safe" setting without all the SCSI drivers ect... Guess what... IT RECOGNIZED MY NVRAID 0 ARRAY!!!!! and I was able to restore the image. Hope this helps out some people... I know it frustrated the heck outta me.

CHEERS!

CHEERS!" }-Hi Gras,

The "Safe" selection uses a combination of DOS and you mother board's BIOS routines to access the hardware. Therefore if your RAID is configured via the BIOS then it's a fair bet TI will detect it correctly and carry out a successful restore.

Just a nitpick from my handy Grammar & Composition Nazi book:

it is redundant (no pun intended) to say "RAID array", since RAID implicitly means an array, as in Redundant Array of Independent Disks. It used to be that the I stood for Inexpensive, but that's been changed by the Advisory some time ago. Sorry for the OT intermission and carry on.

Who would have thunk it. I'll bet a lot of people with nVidia RAID will want to try this.

Tread cautiously, Gras.

With TI8 and NVRAID 0, I used the Safe setting to get Acronis to successfully recognize the array. Unfortunately, the image produced in this manner would not restore properly, and I lost my C:/ drive and my data. That was the last time I used Acronis TI with NVRAID.

Hopefully, they got it right with TI9, but be careful. Perhaps you should try a restore to an empty partition before trying to restore C:/.

[Acronis Support]

Hello Gras,

The problem with NVRAID has been resolved in the latest build (2302) of Acronis True Image 9.0. (http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/my/updates/) In order to get access to updates you should register account (http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/my/registration/) on our site (or just log in if you have already created it) and then register your copy of the product (http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/my/products/registration/).

Please contact me again if the problem persists.

Thank you.

Congrats, I only wish it would support my RAID1+0 array too.
