There are many backup solutions available amd many methods. So here is one more.
Operating System backup done with ghosting to NASlite provides a real time saver, especially in a network environment. g4u is distributed under the standard BSD license.
Check this site out, g4u .......floppy bootup or iso CD.

Has anyone tried this?

I attempted to use it and was unable to connect. What is the proper format of the ftp.server. I know you cannot simply use naslite since you have to define which disk to use.

I have tried g4u with NASLite+ and it works! You can define which disk to use simply by specifying the path in g4u.

This placed my image file in the root directory of Disk-1:

[b]uploaddisk Anonymous@192.168.0.250 Disk-1\filename.gz[/b]

You need to type "password" when g4u prompts for a password. Although NASLite likes empty passwords, g4u does not.

With g4u's default compression, a clone of a 2.6Gb disk produced an image file of 1.63Gb. I had only a 10-BASE-T NIC in the client machine and achieved an overall transfer rate of 192 Kb/second.

I think g4u is an excellent companion to NASLite+ because the ability to use FTP means nothing different needs to be run on the server which can carry on normal activity.

Thanks! I finally got it to work. I figured out that it is case sensitive "Disk-2/"
