This time, the process only took ~45 minutes or so when I got back from my workout, it was done. I used Disk Utility to create a new RAID array with the internal disks, then mounted the CCC disk image, started CCC and set it up to clone from the external disk to the internal RAID array. I then shut down the Quad, replaced the internal drive I wanted to swap out, and again started from the external drive. I started MySQL and Apache and tested that my web apps were working. I set the external drive as my boot drive, and restarted. In the morning, there was a little dialog that told me the clone operation had completed successfully. I think this clone took 4-5 hours, but I went to bed before it finished so I’m not entirely sure. While running from the internal RAID drive, I quit everything that was running, mounted the CCC disk image, launched CCC and started the clone to the external drive with all the default settings. I read through the documentation and searched his forums for “RAID” before I got started, but really I didn’t need to.
I used CCC twice in the process, once to clone the existing RAID drive to an external drive, then the second time to clone the external drive back to the new RAID drive. I used Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) in a multi-step process to replace one of the disks in my RAID array, and it worked like an absolute champ!
