How to back up one computer by another?

[Guest Mike Tucker]

I'd like to back up a 4-year-old desktop (which has a single physical hard

drive and W2K OS) using a laptop (Vista OS) and an external HD. Ideally, I

want to make a ghost image of the desktop HD. I normally do mirror image

backups with Ghost 9 (which I'm quite happy with), but I'm not sure how to

backup a computer which is itself in operation while I'm doing so.

 

Any suggestions, anybody?

 

Thanks.

I dont know about Ghost; but True Image v11 can backup a network location

With TI installed on the host PC you can also backup / clone to an external

HD

There is a fully functioning trial available on TI site
