Norton's Ghost used to backup a RAID 1 array
Norton's GHOST and other Disk Cloning software.
If you use SSDs, ensure the product can correctly handle them.
RESEARCH the product - it could be that it is actually MALWARE
and holds your data for RANSOM.
Ghost is supposed to allow you to creat an exact copy of your disk,
for use as a backup (usually).
My objection to Norton's Ghost is that it was never usable for a
RAID 1 configuration - the only way I will run any of my computers.
I had to use a competitor's software (Acronis True Image). -
I GAVE my Norton Ghost away, as it was completely useless to me at
the time (no RAID 1 support). Apparently, Ghost 15 does handle
Raid 1, but I have NOT tried it (the risk is yours).
Now, (7.2016) however, there are methods of using Norton Ghost 15
with RAID 1.
