What about Norton Ghost? It runs under DOS, doesn't require Windows. Can
even back up over make an image over a network or printer port to
another computer. And there is an image file browser that's a Windows
App, don't think there's a DOS-based broweser (but it can browse the
images made by the DOS Ghost program).

Subject: making disk images


Anyone know of an easy to make and restore disk images on peasea
hardware? I've got a few on-topic boxes that I want to use for projects,
but I also don't want to blow away the existing software as some of it
is interesting and hard-to-replace. Bonus points if the image is
browsable after moving but it must be able to restore to an identical
state from basically the bare metal. What I'm thinking of is a NetBSD
boot disk with enough software in the ramdisk to dd an image onto and
off of an NFS mount, but before I start in on it I was wondering if
anyone else had a solution.

Thanks

Bob
