I'm not sure I understand the question. As I said originally, I want to clone
an SSD RAID array. There is no change required, just the creation of an image
of an installation for later restoration in the event of a failure.
I mentioned Clonezilla, because the usual Windows solution (Norton Ghost) no
longer supports Windows XP and Clonezilla is the one alternative I know of.
In addition, Clonezilla can be run from a Linux Live disc (eg Parted Magic for
example) and unlike Ghost doesn't change the disc it is trying to Clone.
There are other Linux based solutions that can image a Windows disc (Redo
Backup for example), but my queries related to cloning an SSD based RAID array
rather than the particular tool to be used. I was just trying to simplify the
question (and obviously failed miserably :-) ).
To reiterate, I want to know how to clone a pair of SSD discs configured as
RAID 1.
