NTFS doesn't have such a distinction. The driver for the raid controller
will of course need to be different and the vendor *may* implement changes,
but the NTFS format doesn't change. Permissions *may* be valid if it's still
in the same domain and there's no local groups.
Still, a complete and verified backup is appropriate. Not expecting to boot
from the existing array, right?
