Imaging/cloning tools?
Hi Experts
Just wondering what everyone uses to clone their PCs? I’ve struck a snag with our old version of Ghost not recognizing a network card in a new model laptop.
Anyone got a better tool to copy a sysprepped image to a new PC? Failing that has anyone used Server 2003’s tool –is it reliable?
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
I recently created a bootable dual-layer DVD and was able to get a Windows Vista image (plus apps) onto the disk (8.7 GB) without issues.
The alternative is to use Ghost with a USB pen-drive on which you can drop the image?
Obviously there are newer versions of Ghost.
Have you tried CloneZilla - supports both Unicasting and Multicasting and it's opnesource?

We use Acronis.It is very reliable and with the 'universal restore' option you can even restore to different hardware.

i have used it - but i like paragon better - that is free..
Paragon and Clonezilla.
And like nobus, I seem to be using Paragon more and more.
And their Adaptive Restore (move hard drive to different hardware) program is sweet.
Easiest XP move I ever did. : )

I use it within a small DOS partition, and it takes minutes to backup or restore my OSes

We're using Altiris...great image capturing and deployment, it offers a great suite of tools, and remote desktop is integrated. I use it to push out softwre as well.
