  • 1.  Can I use Ghost Solution Suite backup a multi disk computer?

    Posted Mar 05, 2014 12:50 PM

    Hi,

    I am trying to determine whether to purchase the GSS software and have downloaded a trial version.

    My issue is that although I can backup a computer it appears only the first of three physical disks is being backed up.

    I tried setting up tasks to backup the other drives but that has it's own issues trying to schedule the 3 backups and is rather inconsistant in my testing.

     

    Is there a way to backup a computer with multiple physical drives using GSS 2.5x?

    If yes, please direct me to where I can research this. If no, please provide alternatives if you can think of any.

    Thanks in Advance,

    HG

    Using "ghost" or via the ghost console? Using ghost all the disks should be easily backed using separate tasks.

    Using the Ghost solution suite console.

    You would think that this can be achieved using one task or backup. If I need to use multiple tasks I would presume that would require multiple reboots into PE mode - one per disk backup which seems rather a waste of time and effort. I would hope there would be some method to backup 3 disks with only one required boot into PE mode. (To me that would make sense)

    Thanks,

    HG.

    Agreed should be possible. Did you see this link?
