Re: Creating a PC and a laptop image out to a external drive

["Leif Guldbrand" <Guldbrand@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Peter,

Define: "external harddrive" !!!

But here is my internal LAN with an "external harddrive" which in this
case is a NAS (Network Attached Storage).

1) Two PC's with Win2K (Win5250 and TP770Z)
2) One PC with Win7 (TPZ61M)
3) A NAS (QNAP 209 Pro) box with two 1TB disks (mirrored - Raid1).

To create images from different machines/partitions at #1) #2) I use
Norton Ghost v. 10.0 for #1) and Norton Ghost v. 15.0 for #2)

On the QNAP I have created 3 different folders for #1 (Win5250 and
TP770Z), and for #2 (TPZ61M).

Haven't had any problems using Ghost both ways, as Ghost delivers
the CD as bootable (for recovery). Not that I'm a fan of Symantec, but 
in this case they seem to deliver what I need in my scenario. Though 
the support from Symantec - if in troubles.... lacks the difinition of the
word "support" ;-) 

HTH
Leif
