I would like some advice on how to make an image of our OS/2 servers? One of the servers is a domain controller (ver 2.10). The others run versions 3.00, 4.00 and 4.50. Can someone tell me what the best software is which will allow me to make exact images of the hard drives so that I can burn it on a CD (or spanning over multiple CD's) and which will work for each of the version of OS/2 that I have? Thanks in advance and your thoughts are much appreciated.

In the past I used some imaging software like Powerqests DriveImage but its not very handy (cannot extract single files from image, can only save to FAT partitons with floppy booot) and sometimes failed. You could use DFSee for imaging or a simple archive like ZIP which handles EAs/emty Dirs as well. You have to boot from floppy or BootCD and include the necessary files for zip/unzip. Some examples (system drive is C:) Save all files\dir to file except swapper.dat and c:\temp: zip -rugS c:\temp\drive_c c:\* -x \os2\system\swapper.dat \temp\* Be sure to check the archive if its ok... unpack/save back: unzip -d c c:\temp\drive_c.zip Then you have to recreate the bootblock (use sysinstx) to make it bootable.
