Set your rebuild rate to max build rate - the default is min re-build rate. 

Should take about 10-20 minutes.

We tried that as a DRP solution by putting a mirrored disk off site. Problem
is rebuild times... I've seen 1 to 2 hour rebuild times where Ghost takes
about 10 minutes...

On a Compaq DL360 with a RAID-1 array using the integrated Smart Array
Controller:

Shut down the server normally, remove hard drive 1 (the one on the right)

Boot up, press F2 for rebuild drive.

When you get to the OS on the reboot, simply pop in another hard drive and
let the mirror re-create.

Now you can play around and mess things up....if you need to, shut down and
remove both drives, then just put the old HD 1 in the RIGHT HD slot and boot
up....voila you're back where you were.

This can also be used to create a Citrix farm that is exactly the same on
each server, just keep breaking the mirrors and bringing up a new server.
Re-IP and rename and join your domain and you've got a carbon copy server.

Cheers!
