I like Acronis True Image (about $50 US).

acronis doesn't support raid setup,have heard bad things about ghost.

Acronis RAID support KB: http://kb.acronis.com/content/1565

i tried version 10 and it made my system unbootable.

More details are needed, what you had, what you did, what error messages you received, why you were trying to image the drive(s), etc.

vista 64 bit, used acronis secure zone and it said the drive was full,i increased the drive size on the non os drive and the system wouldn't boot, during bootup the raid array showed both drives as non-raid disks,restored with windows restore, not sure what happened.want to be able to back up system in case something happens to drives ect.

I'm not all that familiar with this, so I'd have to suggest that you contact Acronis before proceeding. That way you'll have the greatest chance of success without compromising your data.

already contacted acronis,they won't support version 10. looking for other options, thank you for your help.

I would backup your data immediately using a copy operation or a backup (not imaging) utility. This way, if the Acronis busts your RAID array permanently you'll at least have your data.

Then I'd go over to the Linux forums ( http://www.geekstogo...Systems-f7.html ) and see if someone there can assist with driver support for your RAID array
