  • 1.  Image Files via Flashdrive

    Posted May 02, 2011 02:42 PM

    Plan to store the .gho and .ghs files for a particular image of a PC from our main ghost console on a flashdrive, with the intent of putting the files on another ghostserver at another location to image several target PCs there.

    After transferring the image files to the flashdrive, I plan on running an integrity check in our current ghost console to ensure that no corruption has occurred during the transfer.

    Would this be an acceptable best practices or is there something more I might do to make sure the transferred image files are fine?

    Thanks

    I think the official is that you need to boot to a ghost disk and run the integrity check.    I haven't had a lot of problems with corruption so I would just run the ghost32.exe or the ghost64.exe on the server to check it but I don't think that is the supported way to do it. 

    cheers.

    How about going to a command prompt (elevated if appropriate) and then running FC /B to file compare the source and destination files at binary level. This is probably the best integrity check you can perform, as it will report any bit errors at the byte level.

    One other thing to bear in mind is that flash devices are inevitably formatted as FAT32, so your source files cannot exceed 2Gb in individual size.
