The logical volume, DYN1, occupies basic volumes 2-2 and 4-2. The RAID-1 volume, DYN2, occupies
basic volumes 2-1 and 4-1.
To back up the logical DYN1 volume, run the following command (here, the name of the backup is
assumed to be /home/backup.tib):
trueimagecmd --partition:dyn1 --filename:/home/backup.tib --create
To back up the RAID-1 volume DYN2, run the following command:
trueimagecmd --partition:dyn2 --filename:/home/backup.tib --create
To back up all three hard disks with volumes, select the volumes 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, DYN1 and DYN2:
trueimagecmd --partition:1-1,1-2,1-3,dyn1,dyn2 --filename:/home/backup.tib --
create
If you select Disk 3, volume 2-1 or volume 2-2, the program will create a raw (sector-by-sector)
backup.

Backing up hardware RAID arrays (Linux)
Hardware RAID arrays under Linux combine several physical drives to create a single partitionable
disk. The special file related to a hardware RAID array is usually located in /dev/ataraid. You can back
up hardware RAID arrays in the same way as ordinary hard disks.
Physical drives that are part of hardware RAID arrays may be listed alongside other disks as if they
had a bad partition table or no partition table at all. Backing up such disks does not make sense as it
won’t be possible to recover them.
