This was written by my father.  This year he suffered a serious cardiac event.  This was written as a presentation to his Marriage Encounter Group.  He may ramble more than I do.

Each year Barbara and Harry ask themselves how they are going to celebrate each other’s birthday.  Many times it is a relatively quiet event, most likely involving a special food event, or when we were more energetic, a few days at the Cape.   January 15, 2009 was to be no different.  Little did we know what was about to be a very unusual day.  The saga actually began a day earlier although we did not realize it at the time.

A tool that we are using with great success.

PING is a live Linux ISO, based on the excellent Linux From Scratch (LFS) documentation. It can be burnt on a CD and booted, or integrated into a PXE / RIS environment.Several tools have been added and written, so to make this ISO the perfect choice to backup and restore whole partitions, an easy way. It sounds like Symantec Ghost(tm), but has even better features, and is totally free.

Features include:

• Probably the best available Linux toolbox for rescuing a system;
• Backup and Restore partitions or files locally or to the network (MS Network Shared directory, NFS, FTP or SSHFS);
• Backup and Restore the BIOS data as well;
• Either burn a bootable CD / DVD, either integrate within a PXE / RIS environment;
• Possibility to Blank local admin’s password;
• Create your own restoration bootable DVD (see the Howto Documentation);
• Partition and Format a disk before installing Windows (so to make sure your unattended Windows installation will happen on the right partition);
• Specific advantages PING brings you over DOS and Ghost :
  • Most network cards automatically recognized by the Kernel (unlike DOS);
  • Most CD/DVD readers automatically recognized by the Kernel (unlike DOS);
  • You don’t have to run a Ghostcast server to receive images over the network;
  • More supported filesystems;
  • You can store an image on several CD/DVD (CD/DVD-spanning);
  • You can backup and restore BIOS settings too;
  • Much much smaller than WinPE / BartPE;
  • etc.

Mike Rowe

Many people ask about MIke Rowe.  I have posted a picture here of Mike Rowe.  This is not the Mike Rowe of Dirty Job but he is named after him.  I am sure that the real Mike Rowe would not be upset.
