Does Tru Image Home 10 support RAID 0 or RAID 1

Thanks

In Windows, it will support any RAID that is setup. Using the rescue cd (which uses linux) requires that the RAID hardware is supported by the linux drivers. There is also a "safe" mode on the rescue cd that should see the RAID drive if it's supported by the computer's BIOS.

If the rescue cd doesn't support your RAID hardware, you can build a BartPE boot cd that includes the Windows RAID drivers and use TI that way.

If you haven't already tried TI, download the trial version and see if your hardware is detected properly.

Thank You for the reply. I will try the trial asap.

Well I must report back that Tru Image 10 doesn't work at all for me on a RAID 1 setup in fact it nearly hosed my system and I'm not a lightweight when it comes to computers.

This jpg is what I get using the product in Windows

I made the rescue media and tried to operate the product but was informed that only RAID 0 is supported.

Can anyone explain these apparent anomalies?

Take a look at this thread Error 1722.

If you do a search on E00640068 you'll get more on that error.

Thank you for the reference it was somewhat helpful.
I know this: Tru Image is interfered with by more programs and services than I'd like. I do know how hard it is to cover all contingencies.

Hello Sam Owens,

We are sorry for the delayed response.

Please clarify, have you solved the problem with scheduled tasks? This post in the thread Mudcrab pointed to should provide the necessary information and instructions.

Please clarify, what do you mean by "was informed"?

Thank you.

Since Tru Image doesn't talk it can only inform in one way...screen display.
ie what pops up on my monitor that is generated by tru image.


It is all moot now. I found a nice free product that works. Please don't be offended but your software boys must be doing something wrong if a 100mb product doesn't work for me when a 1.7 mb freeware product does what I need.

Best Regards and Good Luck
