Hi USAO,  I think the below ECN thread might help you,please have a look:  CX3 vault drives   Thanks Jyothi
I have an old CX3 array, very flakey, no support. Im worried about loosing the vault drives, and wanted to know if I can make a copy of them using unix 'dd' to copy the drive, or possibly norton ghost? Is there an alternative/better way to backup the vault/OS?
How to create a spare of my vault drives?
