One option is to use a newer version of Symantec Ghost that is designed a
little more for business call Backup Exec System Recovery
(
n) this program will allow you to backup your drive as an image similar to
ghost but it will allow you to restore to difference size drives or even
another PC.

We use it at work and I bought a copy for home. I have used it at work and
once we had a server go out. I restore the backup onto a pc then when I got
the new server in I moved it back to the server. Very easy process and
moved on vastly different hardware with a little downtime.

I havent used Norton Ghost in several years, but the last time I did, it
required my second hard drive be exactly the same size/type as the primary.
Is that no longer the case? I would be nice to get a larger drive to replace
the one I have now, ghost it, and then actually use the new one in the
computer, putting the present one in the bank vault.

But can you do a full restore of your system in a disaster situation? I mean
you do it and you are back where you were with no program reinstalling? If
not I think it is a bad deal for those with a lot of applications such as
myself. The way is to use an image program like Norton Ghost or Acronis
Drive Image. These make a FULL backup that can restore to a formatted drive
and when done you are back to where you were. The backup runs while you
continue to use your system. It is quite fast, dong over 90 gigs in two
hours or less. USB drives are so cheap that you have more than one to have
multiple copies and you keep one at an offsite location or at least away
from the computer an d not connected. They can fail but not very often and
that is the reason for more than one.

I have had nothing but trouble with tape and a fast tape is VERY expensive
unless you got a deal like yours.

If you have a VERY fast VERY large tape then you may have the best idea
providing it can do a complete system recovery.
