    I have a system running Windows Vista I need to restore. I have a .v21 which is 9.7Gb and a .sv21 which is 3kb both created in 2010. I do not have the Ghost software as I didnt do the backup. Which version of Ghost do I need to purchase to restore the HD?

    Hi there!

    If you have a *.v2i image, you will need to use GSS 2.5 or Backup Exec/System Recovery. Imaging to and from *.v2i images isn't supported in the latest version. If you choose Ghost SOlution Suite 2.5, here are instructions for deploying that over a network:

    May I strongly suggest that you take copies of the source files before you start.

    Dittos on the make a copy of those files.  I have seen it go sideways and corrupt files while reading them.   

     

    I think that you can also use the options in VMware to build a system based of the .v2i files so if you happen to just need to get the data from that image you can restore it to a vm also using the vm tools.
