The last time I tried to ghost a drive was way, way back in 1992, and it
failed miserably. The last HD data update I did was 3 months ago, when
I migrated my work and programs to this machine (which already was
setup, including VFP), and that took days of re-installs (some of which
I'm still doing, as I come across the need).
So, you're saying that ghosting is now all EZ and spiffy? Will I have
any problems going from, say a 60GB HD to a 120GB? Or any software
registration issues? If not, then I guess it wouldn't hurt to get a
replacement drive now, hook it to an external case, and do the
occasional image, just to have it ready. What do you use to do yours? DD?
