    Hi

    Well, just like the subject says I am for a program or a backup approach
    simillar to the one I am currently using. I boot with a Dos-Bootdisk and
    use Ghost to backup my Linux-Partitions to a FAT-Partition and then
    distribute the images around different computers on the network. I would
    like to be able to something like this with FreeBSD. I have had a look at
    Ghost 4 Unix but this is mainly oriented towards deploying images via the
    network while I just want to store the files locally. The advantage of Ghost
    and Ghost4Unix is that is is very easy to restore the system even if it so
    messed up that it wont boot. How can I do this ?

    Bye
    Stefan
