The reason I originally asked, is that I am building a new FreeBSD 4.7 server, in a test environment, which I then, when it is done, want to migrate to the "real" server. I really wish there was something like GHOST I could use for FreeBSD. I mean, just a prog that will make an image of the entire disk, that can be restored as an image. And I'm surprised, actually, that I cannot find such a program. While readily available for the "home" market, you would think that a need existed for servers too to have the ability to make image backups. Apart from migratory reasons, it would make a full restore a lot easier when I would just lose the then minutes or so restoring a GHOST image in case of a calamity, instead of the painstaking process of what basically boils down to doing a complete new install, spanning at least several hours. - Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
