Using Ghost 10.0, trying to save an image to a location on a file server.

[pez]

I have created network ghost boot disk. But when I boot into ghost and
I go to select "local>disk>to image" the only location I am given to
save the image to is to my floppy 'A:' Is it possible to save an image
across a network to another location?

This is a question for Symantec tech support for your program. It isn't
a Windows issue.

Yes it counts get a real server.

At one place I worked in the past one of the employees located a few feet
away did it all the time and I know he was using an earlier version of
Ghost. Don't have any more detail then that.

Yes it counts get a real server.

Here's what I was doing wrong. The bootable ghost disk is only used to
retrieve the image (once you boot into ghost). Where I was confused
is: I thought you could not image a drive that you were currently
logged into. Which is correct. But you actually log into windows,
launch ghost and set up the back up (including network drivers). When
you are done the PC will be rebooted back into ghost and it goes and
maps the network location and copies the image to said location.

Yes, you can. You're apparently in the learning curve, so the two best
things you can do at this point are:
-- Read the screens and the related Manuals provided for Ghost. Forget the
Ghost Help; it's trashed, unfortunately.
-- Go to the Ghost forums and newsgroups with technical questions; this is
the wrong group.

That said, if you have trouble locating good documentation for Ghost, post
back and I can offer a couple of pretty good resources but I'll have to dig
them out of archive. Also, most Ghost 9 information is still applicable to
10. It's a great app, but you need to find other Ghosters for your tech
support questions.
