OK, a question for the computer geeks that remember the olden days.
I have an OLD but perfectly running 1 TB RAID that is SCSI. The computer that runs it is a Windows 2000 system that was a fantastic screaming fast system state of the art for 15 years ago when we bought it.
The main boot drive just runs and and runs. Nothing lasts forever however.
The computer that runs it has an fancy Adaptec controller the AIC - 7899 Ultra 160. It is a total pain to set up and I have forgotten most of my SCSI set ups.
We have spare hard drives just like the boot drive. All I want is a clone of the boot drive that could be swapped into place if and when the 15 year old drive dies.
Is there a simple clone process that will work? I have clone software for my ATA drives but that does not address the Adapatec drivers needed to even see a SCSI drives. I am not trying to clone the 1 TB RAID, just the 160 GB Boot drive.
Any suggestions or guidance will be appreciated.
