SSR 2011 question about destination

[hmfic]

Here's the scenario:

I have a Dell PowerEdge server, with Server 2008 R2, RAID 5 with 3 1TB drives.  Using a Dell RAID controller, and have TWO containers.  One 32GB OS drive, and the remaining as a DATA drive.

I want to just have a recovery backup of the C: OS 32GB drive.  Will this work even though the drives are all part of the same RAID 5 array?  I have an external drive to backup to, but 

I'm pretty sure if I had partitioned the drive, I could not do this, but with two containers, it may work?

Yep it will work as the raid is transparent for SSR.

Great!  Saved me a lot of money, because I was thinking I needed another three smaller drivers in a RAID 5 for the OS.

Appreciate it!

Nop as long as there is enough space there is no problem.

May I ask you to mark this post as solved ?
