I use partimage to backup and restore my NTFS/XP partitions from Linux
on the same box. I also use Knoppix CD which has partimage and mount
NFS partitions to restore remote boxes.
One of the coolest things about ghost was its multicast support, an
absolute must if you are doing a server farm. Our very expensive Cisco
routers had problems doing multicast across vlans, so we had to move the
ghost server into the vlan segment of the farm we were restoring.
But it reduced the time to restore a farm of 5 servers by an order of
magnitude. Those image files will fill up a 100mbit segment quickly.
