You can deploy an ImageX created this way on almost any hardware. I thought that was the case, but I needed to go back and verify that... Regards, Michael B.

(ie we tend to make a CLIENT_A_MANAGER image and a CLIENT_B_DEV image etc for various client/role combinations and then we need to image them either laptops, desktops, workstations etc). Acronis just errors so often it's not funny. I thought about Ghost but haven't used that for many many years. I'd also like the ability to easily 'archive' the images off to cheap USB disks or something for clients we don't speak to often. Any suggestions ?
