Local Restoring - I'm sure I read somewhere...

Hi

 

we use ghost to look after our computer labs and currently all rooms are done using a generic multicast image restore. However, in one new room, due to software licensing, we want to take a copy of each machine and be able to restore these individually.

 

I thought I'd read somewhere that you can set GSS so that

1) you take a direct image of the local machine

2) store on the server

3) able to push this image out to the local machine to a local partition for quicker recovery

4) update this local image or invoke a restore from the ghost console.

 

Currently I can see how we could easily take an image of each of the 25 machines in the room and either store locally or on the network but the combination of the two.

 

I might be wrong, but I thought I had read this somewhere.

 

regards Matt

Is it possible to save the local image onto a 2nd internal drive rather than a partition on the bootable drive?

Perhaps I'm misinterpreting your question but you always have an option to store images anywhere on your local drives as well as storing in on remote ghost in p2p mode or on Ghostcast side. For local images just select different volume to store image to.

Hope this helps.
