I have a laptop running unix which connects toa server to retreieve data. I want to take an image of the hard drive so that in the event of hardware failure I can quickly get the laptop back up and running. Does anyone know of any software that would achieve this such as ghost or image drive???
Thanks

Either may work but I've only used Ghost. Ghost takes a bit by bit copy of the drive. It doesnt matter whats on it. You need to get a version that you can boot to from floppy. Run the ghost program and do a disk to image transfer. Other program may do the same but Ghost should definatly work in this instance.
Hope this helps

If you are looking for an Opensource alternative to Ghost, DriveImage, etc. try g4u (http://rfhs8012.fh-regensburg.de/~feyrer/g4u/#reqs) It does the something similar, but requires access to an FTP server.
