[plug] Re: disk imaging a la ghost

[Paul Baumgarten]

May I suggest anyone interested in this type of technology look at
ImageCast3 by Innovative Solutions.
http://www.innovativesolutions.com/

This is basically the same crowd who made the original ghost before selling
it to Symantec for a small fortune.
The symantec one is at http://www.symantec.com/region/reg_ap/product/ghost

I believe the ImageCast one also supports EXT2 file systems.
