true that but i was under the understanding that all versions of ghost had those restrictions

Has it ever been reccomended for server OS? i know it works but i dont know if it was ever supported as such
I just made the statement because the question was concerning server, not pro.
They do have a server version though, or at least they used to, I forget what it is called. Seems they have replaced it with their Live State Recovery software, which I am not at all familiar with.

Not recommending you count on it, but I think the main problem with the Ghost versions and server OS's is the drive configuration. Seems to work OK with a single drive but doesn't work with any raid configurations, at least that is my experience.
ahh i see, thanks rob :) i probably should be relying on ghost for server OS as much as we do but hey! whats the worst that could happen? if it blows up i'll blame the guy next to me :)
Thanks lsimmons85,
