Other Software like Norton Ghost Corporate?

[Brent]

I've used Norton Ghost Corporate edition (including the newer Ghost Solution Suite 2.0 and 2.5) for ages. However, I am curious about other software similar to this to use for making and ghosting images onto hard drives.

What I am looking for is something similar in feature set, basically I use a USB flash drive to network boot to Ghost and image hard drives over the network (with the ghost image stored on my server.) I would prefer to stick in the USB flash drive, boot up to network, have a list of images on the screen to select from that I have stored on my server and have it ghost the local hard drive with the image I select, and of course be able to easily create images back to the server as well.

Used to use Ghost many years ago, and Partition Magic before Symantec bought them up and dissolved them.

For the past several years I've been using Acronis "True Image".

I looked at Acronis's webpage, but I'm not certain which product fits my needs the best, there are so many to choose from.

You're probably looking into their Echo series....they have 'em for servers, and for workstations. Under the Enterprise category.

So what route are you going?

I'm gonna stick with Ghost, its worked for me in the past, and I'm more familiar with it, was just curious about others.
