Re: [cobalt-users] Adding hard drive space to a Qube 2

["Toby Miller" <tobymiller@xxxxxxxx>]

Quick off topic question --

Norton Ghost actually works with the RaQs?   Does it require a samba share?
If not how does
it work with the RaQ?    This seems like it would be a much better way of
getting a full system backup vs. Cobalt's GUI based backup...

Just curious.
