Is Norton Ghost fully compatible with SATA Hard Disks??? Any problem? any bad experience?? Thanks

I don't know what about Ghost, because I always use Acronis True Image. And I can tell definitely that it fully compatible with SATA, as I have SATA hard drive, and didn't have any problems. Also I've never hared: that somebody has any bad experience with it.

Thanks cnf, I looked at Acronis website. could you tell me if I can have real-time imaging from my server disk onto another server in another building through the network? they are connected through VPN already. basically remote imaging is what I need. Thanks so much.

According to Symantec's site... Ghost is compatible with the new Serial ATA (SATA) standard. If you are experiencing problems like Ghost hanging, locking up, or freezing when loading or while "initializing TCP/IP" once Ghost loads, the problem lies with the interrupt handling for the Intel 865 Chipsets and later. Upgrading to the latest version of Norton Ghost 2003 or Symantec Ghost 8.0 resolves the problem. Also, see the Technical Information section below for information about an update to Symantec Ghost 7.5. Workaround Depending upon the mix of SATA and IDE drives installed to your system, one of the following switches should resolve the problem: * If you have an IDE and an SATA drive, or only IDE drives: -FNI Forces Ghost to use the BIOS to gain access to the IDE drive. * If you have an SATA drive and no IDE drives: -NOIDE Disables access to IDE devices.

Hello Payman, I use True Image home edition, because I have only one PC without server, but I know that Acronis has Enterprise Server edition . It allows you to create real-time server disk backup, server disk imaging, and bare-metal restore for Windows; reliable, and cost effective server protection. Also ES edition supports for SAN, NAS, RAID, tape drives, CD/DVD, USB, FireWire, PC Card, network drives and other backup storage. I read it on the site.
