Can I Ghost a UNIX drive?

[Damien111]

I've been thrown into a situation and I appreciate any help I can get. I have a SCO UNIX box running open server and the hard drive is too small. Can I ghost this drive, replace it with a larger hard drive and restore from the image? Sounds good anyway.

Thanks again in advance.

generally no... ghost doesn't support an increase in hd size with sco partitions. (maybe a recent version of ghost does)

do you have a tape drive?

either of the super-tars and their recovery programs should do it. But that is also dependent on whether you have tape capability enough to store the full drive.
Another possibility would be to store to a third drive and restore to the new one.

Thanks for the help, but I found out an error log has grown out of hand. Removed it and no more space problem.
