IBM has something called Bare Metal as part of their Tivoli backup which =
is supposed to be just for that situation. It will reimage a server =
regardless of platform or hardware.
I don't know much about it. It was overkill for my little installation =
but if you are looking for something to do that, if might be worth =
looking into.

This completely overlooks the problem that occurs when you standardize =
on
300 Servers and 2 or 3 years later, your entire building burns down and =
now
you want to re-use images on hardware that is simply unobtainable.

I not quite sure how unlike hardware, multiple servers etc came into the
mix.. But I think everyone is missing the point.. If you are using =
ghost
as part of your DR plan you wouldn't using different hardware... Most
likely, you have a service plan with your vendor.. If a Raid
controller/MB/etc frys. They you replace the bad components and =
download
the ghost image. If you introduce a new platform, then you would create =
a
new image. Granted there will be a few images created, but not nearly =
as
many as there are servers... With 300 servers, there is something to be
said about standardization. Keep in mind, the image is just the base =
OS...
From there, you can use backup to restore data, registry, etc... or use =
a
software distribution packages (like IM for MF) to distribute and setup =
you
applications.

We have an infrastructure with probably at least 300
NT servers. Probably 25 differnt versions of Compaqs.
We can't afford to have a double of every type of
server, nor is it possible, so we can restore to like=20
hardware. Even like hardware restores are far from perfect.
We also have somewhere in the neighborhood of 150 different
applications - yeah, we can reinstall all of them, but that
just goes to show how poor restores are. Try NT backup
against unlike hardware and see what a mess you get.=20
=20

How so? NTBackup works just fine... Never had a problem with it...

Thanks everyone for their backup info. Sounds like Microsoft is
screwing us all with
a product that can't easily or reliably be restored......
