Thank you Josh, Chupaka, and Gerard. Since the failure happened on Saturday, and I was stupidly sending my inquiry via the wrong Email address, my message didn't post until today.
Since Saturday I did install the RB2011 in its place and got most things restored from my memory and some notes. So now my goal at this point would be to look at some settings from the old one and also get an export so I will have a hard copy. Were I to elect to use the x386 after I restore it, I wonder how MT would relicense this one, since the disk drives were a RAID array and technically there would be two drives. Maybe the RAID puts forward its own unique serial number derived from the drives themselves.

Depending on your configuration, it may or may not work exactly as you hope.
