To Ghost or Not To Ghost
Ghost may not be the most appropriate solution for backing up servers or making changes to large databases; here, something like Dantz Retrospect may be a better choice.
For servers on Windows systems, another option is Microsoft's Automated Distribution Service (ADS), part of Microsoft's Distributed Services Initiative (DSI) for distributing new Windows 2000/2003 images, notes Tom Henderson, managing director of ExtremeLabs, Inc.
Ghost users also using Roxio GoBack should be aware that Ghost currently won't capture any GoBack information, as it's put in a hidden area. (Windows XP rollback information will be included, since that's "in the system.")
