Title: Ghosting NeXT OS
Post by: SemiMBA on July 26, 2006, 03:52:17 PM
Hopefully I placed this post in the correct forum.

I have a NeXT OS on an HP Kayak XU 6/266 PC.  We use this computer as a UI for a piece of semiconductor capital equipment.  Is there a ghosting utility available to ghost the hard drive?  Norton's ghost doesn't work on the NeXT OS.  

Thanks for any assistance!

You could try using Partimage.   (http://www.partimage.org/Main_Page)

But you'd have to add support for UFS devices (type A7)

The same goes for SystemImager. (http://sisuite.org)


There's also good old dump or dd.
Run 'disk' on your hard disk to determine geometry, partitions and blocksize. Check here for related information. (http://www.channelu.com/NeXT/Repair/fsrepair.html)

a 'dd if=/dev/your_hard_disk of=your_disk_image.img bs=your_block_size' ' will make a binary copy of your exising disk.  

Copy this file to another location, burn it to CD or DVD, and try restoring it to a scratch hard disk with SysRecueCD.
