Doesn't Ghost allow you to restore across the network? Plug the USB into a
working machine and boot the machine to be restored from the Ghost floppy
and then restore across the network. The USB drive is simply another drive
on the working machine. Unless Ghost requires both machines to be booted by
the Ghost floppy....

Subject: [RT] Off Topic: Backup/Restore using USB hard disk under W2000
My HP 8GB external tape drive is giving up the ghost and I'm seriously
considering an external USB hard drive. For around $200 I can buy a 2.5" USB
drive enclosure and 20 GB 2.5" drive with a footprint not much larger than a
tape cartridge: 3"W x 5.8" L x 1" D. Firewire (IEEE 1394) looks much faster
than USB but I need to backup 2 laptops, each with 10 GB drives, and the
older IBM 770 Thinkpad does not support Firewire.
>From what I can tell, Windows 2000 treats USB drives as just another
(non-bootable) disk. Since USB devices are not bootable, I'm wondering what
the best solution is for creating and restoring backup files, especially
operating system files, under Windows 2000? From what I could tell, Norton
Ghost which I own, must run under DOS to restore system files.
