I would like to be able to clone/image the system to a secondary hard disk drive attached the PC. I have used Symantec's Ghost many times for Windows Systems and know that it could do the job but only in a sector by sector operation. This will create huge images files. Is there any way to do? I have read about with g4u, dd, dump/restore but they do not seems to be able to do create the clone/image on a secondary attached hard disk drive. Thanks for your help, Andrew
