Ghost works well as long as the server you are moving to mirrors the server the image came from (E.g. same model, hardware, drive size, firmware, etc.) Also, Ghost will not work on servers with a RAID controller. I would suggest using NetBackup if you happen to find yourself in that situation.

We will then need to quickly build a development serer. To redo all these installs and scripts to make ITSM 6 work with CMDB 2 would take days and days of effort. We would like to take this test server and use it to ghost the new development server and then do a database copy from the current test server to the new development server. Obviously we would have to get the proper licenses for the development server. We anticipate that we may have issues with tables pointing to the wrong server. Are there other likely issues? Is this a reasonable approach? Has anyone successfully done this before?
