AISBackup and RAID
Posted: Tue Mar 04, 2008 2:48 am
Hello Barry
After 7 years it was time to say goodbye to my old DELL Dimension 8100.So I built a new PC myself with an ASUS P5K3 Deluxe WiFi motherboard, Intel Core 2 Duo E6850, Intel ICH9R Chipset, SATA2 WD2500AAKS Caviar SE16 /250/7200/16MB, ASUS SATA DVD +/- RW DRW-2014L1T, and 2GB DDR3/1066 memory. OS still the same, XP(SP2). I also connected the 2 existing EIDE hard drives I had on my DELL 80GB and 40GB.
It is about 2 weeks now that I have the above running, all is fine and did 2 good backups on DVD+RW with AISBackup. A couple of days ago, I decided to enable the AHCI controller in my BIOS and in the process I learned that I should have installed a driver before I installed XP. So I re installed XP including the Intel RAID / AHCI Driver and although I don’t have RAID now at least the system is ready to do so in the future.
Now I discover that AISBackup is not working, On the CD-RW DVD-RW Erase Session window it shows currently Loaded ? = None and the Erase button is Faded. However it did work to make a mirror copy from C:\ to D:\. I also noticed that I have now a new driver, Jmicron JMB36X RAID Configurer Tool, and I suspect that it may interfer with AISBackup.
Is it possible that AISBackup is not compatible with RAID / AHCI ? I know that with RAID1, a backup may not be required but I would still prefer, if I can, to have a backup on DVD’s.
Cheers
