Hardware RAID to software RAID

With restore anywhere, can I restore an image from a system with hardware RAID to a system with software RAID?

   No, the hardware RAID disks would simply appear as basic disks on the restore system. Creating dynamic volumes first might help, but restoring to disk with pre-existing disk structures is always a daunting task and typically does not work. I would restore as basic disks to unallocated space initially and back into windows make these disk dynamic (i.e. Software RAID).
