Ghosting RAID 5 Configuration

by sysadminii . Updated 18 years, 9 months ago

I have worked with Ghost for some time now and really don’t have a complaint with it, except dealing with RAID 5. Symantec doesn’t tell you that you can’t ghost RAID 5 but they don’t offer support for it either. I have been able to ghost RAID 5 but the restoration has been another story. It seems that when I try and restore the image, I receive CRC32 errors and never successfully restore my image to the RAID 5 drive. I have tried a multitude of switch configurations, but it doesn’t seem to matter. Has anyone ever successfully restored a RAID 5 configuration from a Ghost image and if so, how were they able to accomplish it and what switches did they use?
