Support for RAID 0 Dynamic Disks
It looks like from the notification boxes Image for Windows 2.97 displays I can't image a dynamic disk volume (mirrored) . If tihs is the case I'm hoping that this functionality can be added to future versions. I have purchased bot Image for Windows, Image for Linux and BTBM.

Re: Support for RAID 0 Dynamic Disks
Hello,
No, the proprietary dynamic drive layout is not supported. You shouldn't be
using them, use a firmware based RAID controller instead. Within Windows
the volume is transparent to anything (including IFW using VSS), but upon
restoring it's not the same at all.

Re: Support for RAID 0 Dynamic Disks
Well I'm sorry to hear that. I've used dynamic disk since Windows 2000 without any problems. I guess BTBM won't recognize dynamic disks either so until I revert to Linux from Windows 10 that does not seem likely. At this time VMware can't installed on on Linux with kernel 4.x - fortunately I backed up my VMware and Virtualbox folders to a removable drive and they work fine with Workstation with Windows. Perhaps you'll decide otherwise when version 3.x is released. I guess I cold use the software on Windows VMs - Ill see.
