The systems would come back with an error. Unfortunately I didn’t document what it was…I assumed the problem was that I removed the original images. The server only has 1tb of space and I still have several computers I want to have imaged before the inevitable happens.

There is a post/wiki article somewhere around here that shows how to customize fog to prompt you for which drives to include in a task.

Thanks for the information.
I’m currently running fog.32 on ubuntu server 12.4

I’m just journaling this now as I dont have access to my server just yet. I’m not 100% certain every thing is correct

Is your ERP server the only thing FOG is going to back up?

I love this actually working with the device instead of just punching buttons…reminds me of the good old days of DOS. I look forward to working with everyone.

btw…after all of that I decided to put it on a different box. I would have loved to troubleshot why it wasn’t working correctly, but a deadline was looming so I killed it and reimaged the workstations again…took far less time than the first.
