He would then first have to configure the drives for RAID 5 and duplicate all the configuration of the disks. I think he is wanting to snapshot the system. Although I wasn't aware that ghost could do that to a RAID system.
Not sure if this would help, but I wrote a program years ago that would read a disk from the physical beginning to the physical end and write it to another disk. If you want I could dig up the source code. It might be assembler and/or C and was written for a DOS system.
But doesn't dd do just this, read the physical disk? Why would he need to anything except dd the drives?

Could you just tar up the system boot to a live cd mount / and untar?

That's exactly what I am wanting....a snapshot of the RAID 5 array.
Thanks,
