Another great tool is Microlite's Backupedge backup software. It will install in demo mode and it will create three bootable disks. You can then re-create with the disks and a tape drive. Of course, you do need a compatible tape drive.

I'm not familiar with the product named, but I've had success using standard RedHat tools to do what you want. The command "cp -a" or "cp -dpR" work well on the relevant directories. It's not as convenient as duplicating a disk since it requires a fix up with a boot disk later, but it works with the standard tools included with RedHat. I've also had good luck with Ghost 2001 for duplicating Linux disks. _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
