moving to a raid 5

[ziogref]

G'Day Guys,

 

I currently have WHS2011 installed on a 2TB drive for the OS and files (temp for what im about to ask) any way i have just received my raid card and 3 more HDD's, and im going to make a RAID 5. I do have a backup drive thats 2TB, is there a way to backup everything (OS aswell) wipe the drives, build the raid and then restore the OS and files like nothing happened? im happy to use bootable linus based live CD's or is there and intergrated way that WHS can do this? 

 

Thanks

A better solution would be add the RAID-5 array to your existing setup and move your data files over to it, while keeping the OS on it's own drive.
