    Ghost Suite 2.5 is reeeeeeeeeally pissing me off tonight.  I specified some paths for file/folder preservation, and my task failed with the folowing error:

    Date   : Mon Feb 25 21:30:25 2013
    Error Number: (677)
    Message: The specified destination partition for preserving files/directories is not a valid destination partition for this clone operation.

    I changed the above 'DiskSerialNumber' and 'Application Data' name to protect the innocent, but otherwise, this is what I got.

    The clone task is on clients which each have two partitions.  The clone task is performed on the second partition, (the first partition is a tiny, hidden utility partition).

    Does anyone know why I am getting this error about the destination partition for preservation not being valid?

    Thanks.
