GHOST.EXE,  the  component  you  run from a boot disk for disk-to-disk
cloning, is compatible with server partitions.

I'm  not  offering any comment as to the EULA, but Matt's claims about
the  hardware-specificity  of  these  products  don't  ring true. What
constitutes   a   "server,"   when  we  have  SATA  servers  and  SCSI
workstations?  In 10 years of using disk imaging, I've never known any
such  product  to  make  _any_  judgments  on  this  level, since it's
impossible. Now, it is technically possible to peek into partitions to
determine  the  primary  OS,  but  I am very experienced in the use of
PowerQuest  DriveImage's  workstation version (now folded into Ghost),
and  it  does  no  such validation when using its disk-to-disk cloning
PQDI.EXE  component.  The  server  vs.  workstation  licensing models,
rather,  are  only  enforced  when  trying  to  install  the GUI-based
modules:  the  image  inspectors/browsers,  "live"  imaging functions,
image schedulers, etc.

You do not need to spend $700 to clone your server disk. Don't.
