In lengthy upgrades or installs of MS SQL servers on RAID-5 systems
I've been able to use Ghost to save an image of the server before
moving on to the next major step...saves mucho time :).  I'm not as
experienced at Oracle and have been asked to administer an 8i server
on a RAID-5 box that will be used to do some major development &
testing of scripts from a third-party vendor.  The vendors technical
rep was not sure Ghosting would work with an 8i system.  Has anyone
successfully tried this, if so, with what version of Ghost?

TIA
