Specifications

I/A 70 Series Backup and Restore
Version 3.0 - Network and local peripherals
• A server on the network that shares “backup space”.
The advantages:
• The Ghost images can be viewed on another system that has Ghost Explorer installed, this way
files can be retrieved individually.
• Very low cost solution apart from the initial server hardware.
• Very fast.
• No hardware changes required on the system unless you want a dedicated network interface for
the backup jobs.
• Your server can be UNIX or Linux based with Samba or Windows based.
The disadvantages:
• May require you setup the initial network topology.
2.2.5 Cloning the system disk.
With this option you will “clone” the internal system disk to an identical one that can be stored in a
safe place. To make optimal use of this option you will need to make both the original system drive
and the clone removable. Using this solution will provide a very fast way to create a spare disk,
which can replace the system disk in a matter of seconds.
Note: Brackets that support removable industry standard IDE and SCSI hard disks are commonly
available.
What will you need?
• The I/A 70 Series Backup and Restore CD (includes license for a single station).
• Two brackets to support a removable system disk and a backup/clone disk.
• A second disk drive similar type to the system disk drive.
The advantages:
• When the system drive fails, it takes only a few seconds (the record is 3.1415926 seconds) to
replace it with your spare drive which is ready to roll from the very start.
• Drive cloning requires only one medium per backup.
• Cloning is very fast!
The disadvantages:
• You need a relative expensive comparable disk drive for every backup.
• The system must be modified to accommodate the two disk brackets.
• Requires another PC with bracket to accommodate the drive to retrieve single files from it.
