I am dealing with a server that has an OS Raid and Data Storage Raid (24-32TB - still waiting on client to confirm). For the purpose of this project, I only need to a logical image of the storage raid, but I don't want to deal with recompiling the raid or being locked down to tools that can support the images of single drives (to reconstruct the RAID).
With that said, I was thinking about doing a live image of the data storage partition using FTK Imager Lite. This would give me a single DD image (yes, a very large dd image) of the storage array.
Has anyone ever done a live image this large before? Has anyone run into any complications when imaging a large data source with FTK Imager Lite (such as memory issues, etc.)?
Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.
