[Watford] Ghosting a Linux HDD

[walt]

Thanks Steven,  I have used Acronis before and it is much better than Ghost.
However, I had to give up my copy a few months ago and I don't think there
is a freeware version which runs in Linux.  

I will resort to Acronis if I have to. Meantime I'll try to follow Yvan's
and Alain's instructions. Should be interesting as I have never done this in
Linux and the command structure usually defeats me. 

Keep you posted,  Walter

Hi Walt,
 
Acronis True Image works well.
 
Ghost is not so good.
 
Thanks,
 
Steven Acreman

	Is there a way and/or a utility which allows me to create and image
of a
	linux hard disk incl.  all partitions and then write that to another
hard
	disk?  Rather like ghost in Windows.
	
	Although ghost will clone a linux disk it gets it wrong somewhere
and the
	new disk wont boot. I suspect its that ghost cant handle ext3
correctly or
	grub needs to be changed in some way (or both).
	
	Thanks, Walter
