How to Copy an LSI RAID Drive

If you want to copy the entire contents of a hard drive in Windows, the best method is to create a disc image of that drive. Copying an LSI RAID drive is no different from copying another drive. When copying, however, you should note that depending on the type of RAID you have created, you may need more space to copy the drive to. Once you have created your system image, you can restore it to other drives or to the original drive at a later date.

Instructions

1. Click "Start," "Getting Started," then "Back up your files."

2. Click "Create a system image."

3. Click "On a hard disk," "On one or more DVDs" or "On a network location." Click one of these to choose the location for the image. Click "Next."

4. Click the LSI RAID you want to copy. Click "Next."

5. Click "Start backup."
