Hello every body

I have Installed Red Hat Linux Enterpirse AS V4.0 on the IBM X206
Series server, now i wanted to take ghost image of the above
installation, the installation was done on the SCSI Hard disk drive.

is it really possible to take entire image as a ghost on the other hard
drive? is yes then let me informed and how it restore.

Yes, but do not use ghost (it does not understand about Linux bootloaders).

As a suggestion visit; http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page and check out the
Partimage portion of the downloadable SystemRescueCd. The SystemRescueCd is
a very nice tool to have.
