I have a workstation which uses Norton Ghost 9 to do a full image backup to a server.<br />
<br />
On the old NT4 server, this worked fine.<br />
<br />
Now they have a Windows SBS 2003 server, it does not work. It back's up about 1Gb of image and then terminates with a Target Disk Full error. There does not appear to be a quota set on the drive in question, and it has plenty of space. I have managed to copy over 1Gb of test files into the appropriate share without a problem, and with these files in place Ghost is still able to backup 1Gb and then fails in the same way!

Target Disk Full error on Norton Ghost 9

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
