Let me follow this up by saying an external USB harddrive would be sufficient as well, and perhaps even a DVD if it came to it. Since the disk image I want to back up is not running Windows (but does use the FAT32 filesystem) I would need some sort of boot CD in order to make the actual disk image; I’m fairly sure ghost already does this, right?
Ghost Solution Suite may be an appropriate product for you. You can launch the old style Ghost from a command line which I'm sure you can put into a batch file. I would go over to the Enterprise forums or contact Enterprise pre-sales to see if the product will fulfill your needs.
Ghost Solution Suite on the STN enterprise forums can be hard to find. Here is a direct link to the Ghost Solution Suite board.
Thank you both for the replies. It appears that the "automatic" feature is a bit more difficult than what I have hoped. I can do without the automatic restore feature if the following two can be met:
1) I can make some sort of boot media (DVD, USB Flash stick, USB Hard Drive) that will boot into Ghost and allow me to image an entire drive
2) I can store the drive image on the *same* media that I used to boot from. This would produce a nice self-contained device to boot and restore the drive from.
The automatic feature is really more of a 'want' than a 'need', but being able to store the drive image on the same media I used to boot ghost is really the must-have feature I'm looking for. So is this possible?
Again not a part of the design for the consumer Ghost product. I would still recommend checking with the GSS forum. You might find that GSS fits your needs better.
OK, I was hoping that would be. Thanks for the pointers, ill go look at GSS.
