	JP, 
	
	I have used Ghost to copy an SCO Openserver 5.0.5 system 
	disk to a new disk. This was on a client's Compaq Proliant 
	with 4G Compaq SCSI disk. I chose to Ghost the root disk 
	in order to preserve the Compaq utility partition and all 
	its files as Backup Edge will not restore non-UNIX partitions. 

BackupEDGE will backup and restore non-UNIX partitions.
A great deal of work has gone in to giving BackupEDGE the ability
to backup, checksum, compress, encrypt, restore and disaster-recover
non-UNIX partitions, which we call "raw" partitions. You simply
identify the partitions you want protected.

If you weren't aware of this, perhaps this message will help.

If you were aware, tried it, and encountered a problem, please contact
our support department, or email support@microlite.com, with the
details.

Regards,

Tom

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
