Zenworks Imaging with an external drive

Format the drive as ext2 (ext3 will not be readable by windows)

after booting to PXE Linux:
1. use "dmesg" to see what the external drives device name is (example: /dev/sdb)
2. mkdir /mnt/exthd
3. mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/exthd
4. img
5. local
6. /mnt/exthd/imagename.zmg

to use the drive on a windows box if you need to extract something from the image, use the driver from http://www.fs-driver.org/ .

Can anyone recommend the best Remote Desktop tool for a small IT service company like mine? Does anyone use Kaseya.com or GFI.com? How do they compare to these guys I found recently: N-able N-central VNC
? What is your best take in cost vs performance among those three? I need a good advice please... Thanks in advance!
