Powerquests Drive Image 2002 utterly smokes Norton Ghost 11 Corp for backing up and restoring RAID volumes.

Ghost won't even do it. There's a slim possibility that it'll work if you fuck about with DOS-Compatible ASPI-Level RAID Drivers, assuming your vendor even supplies such fripperies. But if even that doesn't work then tough tits, Symantec won't support RAID ghosting in any degree.

On the other hand, Drive Image detects most RAID arrays without needing to load extra drivers, for both backup AND restore.

Shame really, Ghost corp is fantastic for basic imaging functionality. Its just shit when you want it to do anything slightly more complex...

I use to use Powerquests Drive Image 2002, but it requires a ps2 port that my laptop dosen't have.
Then I downloaded Acronis True Image and it works very nicely.
