System backup
Use GHOST to make system backups, have two ways of the entire hard disk (DISK), and partition hard drives. Click the local (local) entry in the menu, there are 3 submers in the menu pop-up in the right, where disk indicates backing up the entire hard disk (ie, the partition represents the single partition of the backup hard drive, and checks the files that check the hard drive or backup. Whether it may cause a backup or restore failure due to partitioning, hard drives. Partition backups are used as personal users to save system data, especially when recovering and replicating system partitions.
Select the local → Partition → To Image menu, pop up the hard disk selection window, start partitioning backup operations. Click on the white hard disk information strip in the window, select the hard disk, go to the window, select the partition you want to operate (without the mouse, the keyboard can be used to perform the handover, the Enter key is confirmed, the direction button is selected). Select Backup Save Directory Path and Enter the Backup File Name in the pop-up window, pay attention to the name of the backup file with the suffix name of the GHO. Next, the program will ask if it is compressed backup data, and gives three options: NO means that the FAST indicates that the compression ratio is small, and high is high, but the speed is quite slow. Finally, choose the Yes button to start a backup of the partition hard disk. Ghost backup speed is quite fast, you can complete it, the backup file is stored in the set directory in the GHO suffix name.
System clone
The hard disk clone is backup and restore for the entire hard drive. Select Menu Local → DISK → To Disk, select the source hard disk (first hard disk) in the pop-up window, then select the target hard disk (second hard disk) you want to copy. Note that you can set the size of the target hard disk, GHOST can automatically partition and format the target hard drive in the set partition value. Select YES to start execution.
GHOST can copy the target hard disk to almost exactly the source hard disk, and achieve partition, formatting, replication system, and file one step. Just pay attention to the target hard drive is not too small, you must install the data content of the source hard disk.
GHOST also provides a hard drive backup function, which is to save the entire hard disk data into a file (Menu Local → Disk → To Image, then restore to other hard drives or source hard drives, this pair installation Multiple systems are very convenient. How to use the partition backup.
system Restore
If the partition data in the hard disk is damaged, the general data repair method cannot be repaired, and the system cannot be started after being destroyed, and the backup data can be fully restored without resetting the program or system. Of course, the backup can also be restored to another hard disk. To restore the backup partition, select Menu Local → Partition → From Image in the interface, select the restored backup file in the pop-up window, then select the restored hard disk and partition, click the Yes button.
Software features
Storage medium
Ghost supported storage media beyond our imagination, it supports peerful LPT interfaces, peer-to-peer USB interface, peer TCP / IP interface, SCSI tape drive, portable device (JAZ, ZIP, MO, etc.), CD burner (CDR) , CDRW), etc. These features do not require any outer drivers and software, just a floppy disk can be done! Especially for the support of the disc sound recorder, today's recorders and blank discs are very cheap, which is very suitable for the purpose of backup.
compatibility
GHOST has good support for existing operating systems, including FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, HPFS, UNIX, NOVELL and other file storage formats. Unlike previous versions, GHOST2001 joins support for Linux EX2 (FIFO file storage format), which means that Linux users can also back up the system with GHOST. Supporting software support
GHOST browser: In the previous GHOST version, we can only make simple backup, copy, restore, restore a single file and folder, to use the top Ghostexp software. Symantec has now integrated GHOST browser in the software. Ghost browser uses an interface similar to the resource manager. With it, we can easily quickly find the files and folders we want in the backup package and restore.
GDisk: gdisk is a newly joined utility, which completely replaces FDISK and FORMAT:
* Fast formatting.
* Hide and display the capacity of the partition. This feature allows more than one main DOS partition, and the operating system on each partition has different versions. The ability to hide partitions allows your computer to be accustomed to booting to selected bootable partitions, ignoring the installation of the same operating system in other hidden partitions.
* Comprehensive partition report.
* Highly secure disk erase. Provides disk erase options that meet the US Department of Defense Standards and Higher Security Standards. Unlike fdisk using the interactive menu, GDisk is driven by the command line. This provides a faster configuration disk partition and the ability to define GDisk operations in a batch file. At the same time, dozens of parameters will make ordinary users' headache, so the author does not recommend general users, Symante should also introduce the corresponding GUI (Graphical User Interface) console for users to use. Specific parameter description You can use the command line gdisk /?
Live Update
Live
Update is a general upgrade program for Symantec's software that checks the Symantec software installed in the current system and upgrades the software over the Internet.
When installing GHOST 2001, the installer automatically upgrades the version of the Live Update program.
Additional command line parameters: (limited to unmanning backup / recovery / copy)
In fact, Ghost 2001's function is far more than those displayed in its main program, GHOST can add numerous parameters to the command line they launched to implement more features. Command line parameters are quite complicated when we use, but we can make batch files, thus "one-day long" (similar to unmanually installed Windows 98 and Windows 2000) now let us know some common parameters (learn more detailed parameters introduction You can view the ghost's help file).
1.-RB
This time the GHOST operation ends automatically restarts. In this way, you can get relieved when you copy the system.
2.-fx
This time the GHOST operation ends automatically returns to the DOS prompt.
3.-Sure
A prompt or warning for all required confirmation will answer "Yes". This parameter is of certain hazards that only recommend advanced users.
4. -Fro
If the source partition is discovered, the prompt forced copy is slightly prompted. This parameter can be used to try to save data in the bad drive of the hard disk.
5. @ filename
Specify TXT files in FileName. The additional parameters for GHOST in the TXT file, which can be limited without the limit of 150 characters lines in the DOS command.
6.-f32
The source FAT16 partition is converted to FAT32 (provided that the target partition is not less than 2G). Winnt 4 and Windows95, 97 users are cautious.
7.-bootcd
This option allows the disc to be guided when the file is backed up directly to the disc. This process needs to be placed in the boot disk.
8.-Fatlimit
Limit the NT's FAT16 partition to 2G. This parameter is useful when copying the Windows NT partition and does not want to use the 64k / cluster of FAT16. 9.-span
Split parameters. When the space is insufficient, copy another backup package to another partition.
10.-auto
If you do not prompt, you will automatically give a file name to continue execution.
11.-CRCIGNORE
Ignore the CRC Error in the backup package. Do not use this parameter unless you need data in the backup package, do not use this parameter to prevent data errors.
12.-IA
All images. GHOST will back up all partitions on the hard disk.
13.-IAL
All images, similar to the -IA parameter, backups on the Linux partition one by one.
14.-id
All images. Similar to the -IA parameter, but includes boot information of the partition.
15.-quiet
Status updates and user intervention during operation.
16.-script
You can perform multiple ghost command lines. The command line is placed in the specified file.
17.-span
Enable the cross-volume function of the image file.
18.-split = x
Divide the backup wrap into multiple points, each slog size. This feature is very practical, used for large backup packages onto the mobile storage device, such as copying a 1.9G backup package to 3 crates.
19.-z
Save the content on the disk or partition to the image file to compress. -z or -z1 is low compression ratio (fast); - Z2 is high compression ratio (medium speed); - Z3 to -Z9 compression ratio is in turn (speed in turn).
20.-Clone
This is a core parameter that implements GHOST unmanned backup / recovery. Use the syntax:
-clone, Mode = (Operation), SRC = (Source), DST = (Destination), [SZE (Size), Sze (Size) ......
This parameter is more complicated and spaces between parameters cannot be included.
Where Operation is an operation type, the value is available: Copy: Disk to disk; load: file to disk; dump: Disk to file; pcopy: partition to partition; pdump: partition to file.
Source means operating the source, the value is available: the drive letter, from 1; or the file name, you need to write an absolute path.
Destination is the target position, the value is available: the drive number, starting from 1; or the file name, you need to write an absolute path; @cdx, recorder, x represents the driver number of the burner, starting from 1.
The following example
Command line parameters: ghostpe.exe -clone, mode = copy, src = 1, DST = 2
Complete operation: Copy the local disk 1 to the local disk 2.
Command line parameters: ghostpe.exe -clone, mode = pcopy, src = 1: 2, DST = 2: 1
Completion operation: Copy the second partition on the local disk 1 to the first partition of the local disk 2.
Command line parameters: Complete operation: load disk 1 from the image file, and adjust the size of the first partition to 450MB, the second adjustment is 1599MB, the third adjustment is 2047MB.
Command line parameters: ghostpe.exe -clone, mode = pdump, src2: 1: 4: 6, DST = D: /PRT246.GHO
Complete operation: Create an image file with only selected partitions. Select partitions 1, 4, 6 from disk 2.
After you understand these parameters, we can easily implement GHOST's unmanned backup / replication / recovery. Cup of coffee. Some example
Ghost.exe -clone, Mode = COPY, SRC = 1, DST = 2-SURE
Hard disk
Ghost.exe -clone, Mode = pcopy, SRC = 1: 2, DST = 2: 1-SURE
Copy the second partition of a hard disk to the second partition of the second hard drive
Ghost.exe -clone, Mode = PDUMP, SRC = 1: 2, DST = g: /bac.gho
Put the second partition of the No. 1 hard disk into the image file in the G partition
ghost.exe -clone, mode = pload, src = g: /bac.gho: 2, DST = 1: 2
In the image file of two partitions from the inside, restore the second partition to the second partition of the hard disk
Ghost.exe -clone, Mode = pload, src = g: /bac.gho, dSt=1: 1 -fx -ssure -rb
Restore C drive with the bac.gho file of the G disk. No information is displayed after completion, start directly.
Ghost.exe -clone, Mode = LOAD, SRC = g: /bac.gho, dSt=2 ,sze1=60p ,sze2=40p
Restore the image file to the second hard disk and modify the partition size to 60:40
Restore disk
First do a boot disk, contain config.sys, autoexec.bat, command.com, oo.sys, ghost.exe file (can be done with the program that can be started with Windows).
AutoExec.bat can contain the following command:
Ghost.exe -clone, Mode = pload, src = d: /bac.gho, dSt=1: 1 -fx -ssure -rb
Using the file automatic restore on the D disk, the GHOST is automatically jumped out later and restarted.
Automatically make a backup of the C area, generate a backup file bac .gho in the D zone.
Ghost.exe -clone, Mode = PDUMP, SRC = 1: 1, DST = D: /BAc.gho -fx -ssure -rb
Restore CD
Contains files: config.sys, autoexec.bat, mscdex.exe (CDROM executive), OakCdrom.sys (Atapi
CDROM compatible driver), ghost.exe
Config.sys content is:
Device = oakcdrom.sys / d: IDECD001
AutoExec.bat content is:
Mscdex.exe / d: IDECE001 / L: Z
Ghost -clone, Mode = LOAD, SRC = Z: /BAc.gho, DST=1: 1-2 - RB
The example can be modified according to the specific description of the following
-clone must be added when using, it is also the most practical one in all Switch {Batch Switch}. The following is the parameters defined by Clone.
-clone,
Mode = {COPY | LOAD | DUMP | PCOPY | PLOAD | PDUMP},
SRC = {Drive | file | driveartition},
DST = {Drive | file | driveartition}
Mode specifies which Clone to use commands provided
Copy hard drive to hard disk replication (Disk to disk copy)
Load file is restored to the hard drive (File to Disk Load)
DUMP makes the hard disk into an image file (Disk to file dump)
PCOPY partition to partitioning (Partition to Partition Copy)
PLOAD file restore to the partition (File to Partition LOAD)
PDUMP partition backup into image file (Partition to file dump)
SRC specifies the location mode and its meaning of the source partition used by GHOST runtime:
Mode Commands Corresponding to the parameters used by the MODE command SRC
COPY / DUMP
Source hard disk.
Take 1 to the first hard disk
Load image file name
G: /back98/setup98.gho or device name (Drive)
COPY / PDUMP
Source partition number.
1: 2 represents the second partition of the hard disk 1
The PLOAD partition image file name plus the partition number or the drive name plus the partition number.
g: /back98/setup98.gho: 2, representing the second partition in the image file
DST runs the target position mode and its meaning when running GHOST:
Mode Command Waices the parameters used by the MODE command DST
Copy / DUMP destination hard disk number.
2 represent the second hard disk
Load hard disk image file name.
Example g: /back98/setup98.gho
PCOPY / PLOAD destination partition number.
2: 2 representative, hard disk 2 second partition
PDUMP partition image file name plus fragmentation number.
g: /back98/setup98.gho: 2
Szen specifies the size of the partition used
n = xxxxm Specifies the size of the Nth destination partition to XXXXMB SZE2 = 800M represents the size of the partition 2 is 800MB
n = MMP Specifies the size of the destination partition of the ground N as the percentage of the entire hard disk.
Other parameters
-FXO When the source object has a bad block, forced replication continues
-FX When GHOST completes the new system, it does not display "Press Ctrl-alt-del To Reboot" directly under DOS.
-IA
Perform a copy of the sector to the sector. When a partition is replicated by an image file or by another hard disk, GHOST will first check the source partition, and then determine whether to copy the file and the directory structure or to make an image replication (sector to sector). The preset is this form. But sometimes, a specific location in the hard disk may put some hidden files related to system security. Only methods of replication in sectors to sector can be copied correctly
-pwd and -pwd = x give image file encryption
-rb After restoring or replication, let the system restart
-sue can be used in clone. GHOST does not display "Proceed with Disk Clone-Destination Drive
WILL BE OVERWRITEN? "Tips Information
Precautions
1. When the backup system, a single backup file is preferably not more than 2GB.
2. Before the backup system, it is best to delete some useless files to reduce the volume of the GHOST file. Usually useless files are: Windows temporary folders, IE temporary folders, Windows memory swap files. These files usually take up to 100 more hard disk spaces.
3. Before the backup system, organize the target disk and source disk to speed up the backup speed.
4. Before the backup system and before the recovery system, it is best to check the target disk and source disk, correct disk errors.
5. When restoring the system, it is best to check if there is important file to be restored to the target disk that has not been transferred. Don't wait until the hard disk information is covered, it will regret it.
6. When selecting compression ratio, it is recommended not to select the highest compression ratio because the maximum compression ratio is very time consuming, and the compression ratio is not significantly improved.
7. After the software and hardware is installed, it is best to re-create image files, otherwise it is likely that some inexplicable errors appear after recovery.
