You CAN'T do this under WinNT/2k/XP but if you're running Win9x on your desktop you can actually map a network drive on it, open up a DOS box and run Parallel Ghost server on the desktop then run parallel ghost client from your libby (booted from a DOS disk), connect to the desktop and the desktop can redirect it to that network drive. Even better, if your libby overheats and goes into thermal shutdown, the parallel ghost server will just sit there and wait ... if you wait for the libby to cool down then turn it back on (and it comes out of sleep mode), ghost is smart enough to keep going where it left off (and without image corruption ... I've gone back and inspected the file that was in transfer when my libby went into thermal shutdown and its all there!).
