[Cialug] Drive Imaging

[Bailey, Jonathan C]

I figured it out... Apparently ghost had an issue with my USB drive
cage...

		But the act of imaging the drive killed it. I never
restored the image... Weird.

		I've done NT 4 before with ghost 2001 and it worked. I
tried to ghost a fedora core 3 box with ext3 and it wouldn't work at
all.
		I bought the new version ghost 9.0 with ghost 2003, used
ghost 9.0 I believe and it worked.
		 
		So long story short I wonder if it's something to do
with the version you're using

			Ok.. I've learned my lesson. dd is a good thing
and ghost is bad. Question though... I imaged 2 NT 3.51 machines. Just
read the image off the drive with ghost and didnt do anything else. Now
I'm getting the famous inaccessable boot device error on both. After
imaging the drive no less! Does anyone know what ghost did to the drive
that makes NT choke? I've never seen this before with ghost. Also, I
imaged an NT4 system and had no problems at all. Weird....

				I'm looking for decent drive imaging
software that runs under Linux. Here's my wishlist: 

				* Images Win9x/NT, OS/2, and anything
else that you throw at it 
				* Works off a bootable CD 
				* Saves image files to a SAMBA share or
via FTP 
				* Can restore images to a different
drive size (like Ghost) 

				I've used ghost before, but apparently
it has some issues with OS/2. dd worked fine for the OS/2 system I had
to image, but I'm thinking there has to be a way for dd to restore to a
drive of a different size without borking the OS.

			While not an all-in-one solution, you could use
the combo of Partimage (http://www.partimage.org) along with Parted
(http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/parted.html) to resize the partition
once it's restored.
			
			I believe both of these tools are available on
the latest Knoppix CD.
