[cisco-voip] Disaster Recovery: Using ghost to restore MCS Servers maybe?

[Kelemen Zoltan]

We have used ghost with 3.x and 4.x servers,several times, successfully. 
It worked. (then again, why shouldn't it?)

However, try to keep the same (or similar) hardware underneath, as you 
*might* have problems with different hardware setups between source and 
destination. We managed to rewrite a ghost to a different make (and thus 
slightly different sized) HDD on a 7815 (since no appropriate spare was 
on hand when the original crashed and it was urgent), but it might not 
work out always as expected.

regards,
  Zoltan
