I have a guy on site trying to replace a hard disk in a server (W2003); simple job: shut the server down and image it to a new disk, boot from new disk, walk away.
Except it turns out not to be a single disk, it's two disks using Windows dynamic RAID which I know nothing about, but his imaging software doesn't handle it (Acronis).
Anyone have any experience of imaging these disks using any of the various Linux options? Ideally I'm looking for something that'll be a small download as he only has limited Internet, and it would be even better if he can boot it from a USB thumb drive as he doesn't have a blank CD with him, although he can probably scrounge one from someone if he has to.
One word: ntfsclone (http://linux.die.net/man/8/ntfsclone).
