Image from Debian Hardware-Raid-5 to Raid-10

[hofmae]

Short question:

I wanto to ask if its possible with True Image Server for Linux to make an image from a Hardware Raid-5 (3 disks a 147 GB) on Debian and then to restore the image to a Hardware Raid-10 with 4 disks.

If its possible, how can i make that, and how long does it takes?

Thanks a lot for your answer.
