[Sheflug] Build/Ghost software

[Barrie Bremner <nospam [at] barriebremner.com>]

Hi everyone.

Hopefully this will work...few DNS issues with a server move, sorry if
there were bounces on Sheflug.

I'm after some suggests (and experiences) for a image ghosting system,
to allow my department to do builds of various Win NT, 2000 and 9x
systems, mainly Compaq laptops, HP Vectras and clone PCs without the
cost of Symantec Ghost software.

A quick look on Freshmeat showed:

AMANDA (which I've heard of, but can't find any online docs for)
http://www.amanda.org/

g4u (NetBSD floppies to make and fetch images to/from ftp server)
http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/

BART (backup/recovery util - early version me thinks)
http://www.datenwelt.net/oss/bart/

Partition Image (NTFS not fully supported?)
http://www.partimage.org/


The AMANDA site mentioned using Samba/SMB for Win32 systems, any ideas on
how this works?

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I'm gonna be away on holiday from tomorrow, so sorry if you don't hear
from me if you ask any questions. :-)

Cheers.

Baz.
