Yes, a ghost is an image of the disk. But, rsync backup only the files. An image is more than just the files of the disk. In an image, you backup the MBR, the size of the partitions, the file system of the partitions...

Rsync is use for the transfer of the image, not for create the image. And it's for create the image I have a problem.


Thanks
