Re: Computer Ghost Imaging software taking 5 hours to image to Portable USB Drive

2011-05-13 Thread Mark Smith 
Why not attach the USB drive directly to the PC your imaging? Would be
simpler and eliminate the network as a potential bottleneck IMHO. Also, I've
found Acronis to be much faster than Ghost 11.5, in my experience.

though.  Thanks, Darin

Confused on your questions as I was pushing the image from a system to the 
Portable USB drive?  Have not tried pulling it yet if that is what you are 
asking. Thanks for the reply.

Are you sure you didn’t get stuck with a USB 1.0 connection ?  32GB would
take a long time over USB 1.0

I know this is a little off topic but I could not find a lyris group that
covers computer imaging.

 

(1) Does Anyone know of a way to speed up Symantec Ghost 11.5 Corporate
Edition imaging to portable USB drives or better imaging product for this?
I just imaged a windows 7 Professional machine that has 32GB of hard drive
space used and it took close to 5 hours.  This is how I had it set up
scenorio I used:

 

D-Link 10/100 switch connected to a Client Network Interface Card (NIC)
Windows 7 Professional 32 bit Machine has a installed a 3COM PCI 3C905-TX
10/100 NIC (I use this NIC card to avoid always having to figure out and add
new PC NIC drivers to Ghost boot media/devices) on a Dell Vostro Desktop
system IPV4 on IPv6 off.  Host is a Dell Inspiron Laptop XP Professional 32
bit NIC- is Broadcom 440x 10/100.  Connected to the laptop is a Western
digital 500GB USB Drive (not sure of the speed but think it is 7200).

 

Method I use is on the Host Server (the Laptop) use GhostServer and boot the
client from a USB Pen Drive go to ghost application/ghostcast/Multicast
connect via predetermined Static IP.

 

(2)Also does anyone know if sysprep still needs to be incorporated in
Windows 7 images?

What about pulling the image off of the external USB drive, attached
directly to the laptop that you are (re)imaging?

Do you use high compression? The computational overhead can actually
slow it down, choose fast/none and see the difference.
