Norton Ghost 9. Backup 600gig Raid drive to two 300 gig drives.

I have Norton Ghost 9.

I have a 600gig RAID 5 drive array. I want to back this up onto two 300
gig drives like a person would do with DVDs. So I don't want to stripe
the two drives I am using for backup into a 600gig drive itself.

I could have the two drives (which I have not bought yet as I am in
theory mode) on at the same time as F drive and G drive. So If I told
ghost to chunk its image into 300gb and the first drive filled, would
it allow my to choose a second drive?

Any other thoughts on trying to backup an array like this? This is just
a personal setup with WMA-lossless files, digital pictures and MCE
files. So not a company with an unlimited budget. I also don't have an
ISP where I could try an online backup system.

Dont think so. What might work is two SATA 300G
drives in removable drive bays. Ghost 9 might let
you change the drive when its filled the first one.

You should be able to setup a dynamic drive which includes both
300G drives, so getting a total of 600G capacity to write to.
