- From Symantec site on Ghost:
"Sector-based and file-based disk imaging creates file images of any
FAT, NTFS, EXT2, and EXT3 file system"
Looks like it must be run from Windows.

copying under native Linux. "cp -a" and/or "rsync -a" (if you are
updating an archive) are good tools for copying at the filesystem level...
