Using Norton Ghost to save Win2k3 on HP Proliant DL380 - DL385

[Angela Cefala']

Hallo,
I would like to use Norton Ghost to save HP Proliant DL380 and DL385 systems where Windows 2003 Standard Edition or Extended Edition is installed. Tipically the Windows systems are configured in RAID 1, and sometimes the systems are part of a MS cluster.
Then I have to restore this images on different Hardware, i.e. on IBM x335.
The questions are:
1. does Norton Ghost save Windows 2003 SE and EE? What version do I need to use?
2. does Norton Ghost permit driver injection in order to restore the image on different HW (using sysprep -bmsd as suggested by Microsoft)?
3. If yes, is the procedure documented? Can you send me, please?
Thanks a lot in advance, Angela

1) http://entsupport.symantec.com/docs/n1999012108164025
Cloning a Windows NT or Windows 2000/2003 Server
"Ghost can clone a server if this is done for backup or migration purposes. However, in most cases, Ghost cannot clone a server for rolling out that server to many computers, and Symantec does not support Ghost when used for this purpose."

2) No, symantec ghost cannot do this.
I think Symantec LiveState Recovery can do restore on different hardware

I advise Acronis TrueImage

Recently we start to use Acronis instead Symantec Ghost and we very satisfied
