maceee · 03-12-2009, 02:12 PM

I curently have one wokring CentOS which i use as proxy,mailserver,dns etc.

Unfortunately i don;t have a raid in it.
Is ther ay program (maybe ghost or acronis) with which i can have an image of he HDD so tat later i get out this HDD, add 2 new HDD's with hardware raid and i restore image there?

Is there any possibility for ths to work?
TO get an image from one singe driver and then restore it to a hardware raid array?

Thank you

This has been discussed many times on here before. Check out mkcdrec, mondoarchive, or systemimager. They do what you're looking for.

No, don't really understand what you're saying by "have many to my CentOS box". Many what?

And which one to use, depends on your needs and configuration. Try them all, and see which one YOU like the best, since that's the most important thing for you.
