Any good utilities for copying SCSI drives??

[JoeCooLIT]

I want to upgrade my overstuffed SCSI drive to a larger one by using a utility to make a copy of all the partitions onto a larger drive, but I do not want to lose anything in the process (i want it to boot up as the replacement). Is there a utility similar to Norton Ghost that will work on a SCSI drive server?? Everything I have researched indicates that this doesnt always work, depending on the utility and the hardware.... Is there anything out there to do this?? I cant be the first one to be asking this question! Any suggestions or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

according to msgs on google groups, for ghost to work on a scsi drive you have to make sure a dos scsi driver is loaded b4 you run ghost and the new drive is initially formated to fat.

That seems like a good approach that would work, but the new version of Norton Ghost appears to not work in DOS, if I read the information correctly...A "windows type" interface....So I am not sure what current software would work, unless I can find a DOS bootable Ghost version...

there's usually a dos version of ghost in the program directory. i dont think i've seen ghost 2003 yet but it would seem a bit silly if they havent included a dos component since that's what most ppl as far as i know, use it for.

You are correct -- the 2003 does include the Dos version. Thanks for the help and I will post an update as to how well things work out.

It worked nicely using the Ghost DOS boot disk and the appropriate SCSI drivers. Thanks for the help!
