What ghosting tool for ASTARO ?

Hello,

previously, we where using a FASTTRACK 100 card to do a RAID 1 mirror of our firewall. Now that we are switching to Astaro, it is not an option any more. Due to the physical constrain on the machine, installing another RAID card is not an option so we must fallback to a "ghost the drive once in a while" option.

So, we loaded the chachine with two IDE HDD tray, changed the cable to connect them directly to the standard IDE controller and installed Astaro on the first drive. After that, we tried to use Norton Ghost 2003 to do an offline mirror of the Astaro install to the second drive (seemed to work) and booted off it.

Well, it didn't go well: the result was a screen full of "9"...

So my question is: what tool can I use to do an offline mirror of an Astaro disk and produce a bootable disk ? It MUST boot from a floppy (no CD on the hardware when it's inn production).

What about partimage? It's made for Linux and should work with ASL as well. http://www.partimage.org/
Using partimage from a livecd is the easiest way to use it.
The best livecd for Partimage is SystemRescueCd. http://www.sysresccd.org/

Alas: Partimage requires a CD drive to be booted off and there is no CD on that machine. But thank you for the link: I'll make sure I keep it around.
