Live Images

[Technolust]

Is it possible for Fogserver to pull an image live on Windows without having to reboot/boot to pxe? If so can someone link the instructions? Currently we are using a product called Aomei on a USB Stick and it pulls a Windows backup or clones the entire disk live.

@Technolust Unfortunately the answer is no. FOG can’t capture a running Windows system. I know of another product that can capture from a live Windows using some kind of agent, so it might be possible to implement as a fog-client feature. But that’s a very long way down the road on the nice to have feature list I reckon.
