I haven't used Ghost for years. I use True Image. It's not installed on this computer so I can't check but I'm sure it does both depending on what options you choose. I can't remember the exact terminology but I believe an image is sector based and a clone is file based. Maybe someone with more knowledge of Ghost can let us know.


Depending on the drivers used for the RAID controller, you can use an Image to restore to a non-raid or other RAID array.

If your RAID is hardware based and you have a bootable disk/cd with drivers that support it, then you can restore any image made by Ghost to it - and it doesn't matter if it was RAID-0/1/5.

If you did a soft-RAID (using the OS), since you can't image a drive in Windows, at least not one you're actually using for the OS, you can't really support it, unless you can get a DOS disk with drivers that lets you some how see the R/0 array from a bootable diskette/cd.

Ghost 9/Drive Image 7 can image everything within Windows, including the system partition. It can also restore everything *but* the system partition within Windows - but that's still not a problem as the restoration environment is built on WinPE, so you have the opportunity to load RAID drivers during boot if required.
