ghost on a Dell Server with hardware raid ??
I have a new Dell server with hardware raid and w2k. When it boots it goes thru the bios to see the two 80G disks as one mirror set. I want to put a cheap IDE disk in this machine and use Ghost to do quick image backups prior to risky acts, like installing service packs. Is there any reason why this shouldn't work ? Thanks -- Al Dykes ----------- |

It will work provided your boot disk or PXE image has the ability to load
the PERC drivers so that Ghost can see the disk to clone. I do this fairly often to roll out 1550 and 1650's in web farms. My source is an external USB drive. It's portable, fast and you don't have to crack the case to get it online. You might look into the USB vs internal IDE. --T "Al Dykes" wrote in message ...
