How to Backup RAID 0 Virtual Disk/Partition in a Safe and Easy Way?

What is RAID 0?

RAID 0 - Data striping without redundancy (no protection). Optimized for Performance. RAID 0 uses striping to write data across multiple drives simultaneously. This means that when you write a 5GB file across 5 drives, 1GB of data is written to each drive. Parallel reading of data from multiple drives can have a significant positive impact on performance.

The trade-off with RAID 0 is that if one of those drives fails, all of your data is lost and you must restore from backup image.

RAID 0 is an excellent choice for cache servers, where the actual data being stored is of little value, but performance is very important.
Minimum number of drives: 2
Strengths: Highest performance.
Weaknesses: No data protection; One drive fails, all data is lost.
