Issue/Introduction

Can Symantec Ghost be used to image or clone Apple computers?

Environment

GSS 3.x

Resolution

Ghost was not designed for use with Macintosh computers. However, you may be able to take / restore an image by means of a sector copy. Use the command line switch -IR . Typically, if Ghost can see the hard disk, then it can image it. Before you can count an image as a success, make sure you can restore it successfully and boot to the OS.
