To the best of my knowledge XP Pro backup does NOT Image a drive

It can, using ASR, which requires a floppy (which many modern systems do not
have). ASR restore starts with formatting the drives and a mini-XP setup.

There are a number of more flexible and easier to use imaging solutions, and
they aren't particularly expensive.

and you will need to have XP Pro installed before you can "restore" the
backup.
by creating a RAID you are also formatting the drives during the RAID
setup.......Then you would need to load the RAID SATA drivers during the
reinstallation of the OS...Once the OS is up and running then you can
"restore" the files/settings that you have backed up to a directory of
your choice...it will be different than the original.Programs that you
have will need to be reinstalled.

If I use Windows XP Pro's backup utility to create a complete backup,
can I then configure 2 SATA drives as RAID 0 and restore the image to
that? Or will I have to completely reinstall everything after setting
up the RAID 0?
