Which version of Ghost allows you to Copy an External drive?
Dec 1^st, 2010 at 12:51pm

I have a 2TB Fantom external drive. It has 2 partitions. It is very important, so I just bought a second 2TB Fantom. I want to "clone" drive 1. When I'm done, they will be identical.

What I hope to do is this:
Plug both External drives into my PC. Run a program and choose "Copy Drive" (or equivilent). I saw "CloneZilla". I think that would work. However, I have every version of Ghost. I seem to recall that this feature (Copy Drive) was in a version of Ghost, and later removed.

So: I am looking for an easy way to copy my 2TB external hard drive.
Thank you

If the drive 1 just contains data--just copy the data to the second HDD!

Use a program to copy any changed on drive 1 to drive 2: Karen's Replicator -- i.e. *synchronize* the data between the two. (Note--if the data on drive 1 is constantly changing, drive 2 becomes outdated immediately after making a copy of drive 1--unless you are constantly updating drive 2 as well!)

Any imaging/cloning tool can make a drive image--the better programs can verify the integrity of the file, and usually have the ability to mount the image file to access and restore individual files from the image if needed.

This program, which is free, will probably do what you want: TeraByte's CopyWipe
