I.have good luck with 'ghost for linux' for single non raid drive. I
was wondering if the slave drive (RAID) had to be restored along with
the primary, when wanting to restore to an erlier backup for whatever
reason.

My LVM is across multiple drives. One set of drives are working great.
The second set is out of business at this time.
I am making a current full backup before I start working on the drives.
There are no issues with the working drives "yet".
I will do a full test of the HDDs, before putting them back in service.
The may just need to be synced as there was a power issue, not a full
crash.
