QUESTION 11 OF 30

Do you use ghost imaging to replicate systems, and if so, can you describe the process?

The interviewer asks this question to determine if you are familiar with the current process and know how to execute it. This tests your technical expertise and understanding of processes and procedures that technical support engineers use. You should be able to describe this in detail. However, if you can't, you should readily admit this and then describe how you would learn the process. You can also suggest an alternative if that is applicable.

"Whenever I need to clone a system, ghost imaging is one of the processes I use. I use several applications to do this, including SmartDeploy, Quest, and Carbonite. The process for ghost imaging involves copying the contents of a disk to another computer in a single compressed file. The file can then be restored to its original form on another computer or disk drive. This is handy for tasks such as installing an operating system on many computers. It is also a good backup and restore procedure."
