Windows RAID backup via System Rescue CD, et al

[Jack]

Thanks Stephen.

They finally got back to me, on my questions. They don't yet have an identical RAID controller. It had been my understanding they had gotten that on Friday. So my question is really moot at this point.

But once they have one, it should be fairly easy frome a Linux rescue distro to back up that data, or ghost the drives, right?

Although another twist is the server is set up as VMs, using Microsoft's VMM. There are at least 5 VMs, of which two are my desktops for them.

The type of RAID controller is important.   You will certainly want to image the disks before attempting a recovery.   Your best bet is an identical raid controller.   If it isn't,  you'll probably end up with a corrupted volume and no data.   If it is an older device or integrated onto the mb,  hit ebay to try to find the same make/model. 
good luck!
