Backup Raid 0 Drives on ProLiant DL160 G6 with B110i

Hello,

 

I have a ProLiant DL160 G6 with B110i software RAID controller.

It runs one logical RAID 0 drive consisting of two physical SATA disks.

One of the disks now shows that it will fail shortly - so I have to change the hdd.

I already built in the spare disk, but now I have to copy the data.

 

My idea is to make a image backup of the RAID 0 drive, shut down the system,

replace the drive and restore the drive. But I do not find any backup software
that can handle a B110i RAID 0 system. I only found some discussion on Acronis,

but this seems to be complicated (via Windows PE boot CD).

 

So, my questions are:

1. Is the general idea via backup OK (or would it be possible to upgrade to a P400 controller) ?

2. Is there any backup software that can handle a B110i RAID 0 system ?!

 

Thanks for any help in advance,

kind regards,

Oliver
