Command-line switches
To list Symantec Ghost command-line switches
◆
In the Ghost directory, type .e of the following:
■
ghost.exe -h
■
ghost.exe -?
Command-line switches
@filename @filename specifies a file that contains additional command-line switches that Symantec
Ghost should read. Filename indicates the path and file name of the command-line switch
file. The command-line switch file can include any Symantec Ghost command-line switch.
The Symantec Ghost command-line switch file must be a text file with each switch . a
separate line. This lets you exceed the DOS command-line limit of 150 characters.
For example:
ghost.exe @ghswitch.txt
For this command-line switch, the Ghswitch.txt file reads:
-clone,mode=pcreate,src=1:2,dst=g:\part2.gho
-fcr
-sure
-afile=filename Replaces the default abort error log file name, Ghosterr.txt, with the directory and file
given in filename.
-auto Automatically names spanned image files during creation. Using this switch avoids the
user prompt that asks for confirmation of the next destination location for the remainder
of the image file that is being restored.
This switch is the default behavior for Symantec Ghost.
-batch Batch mode switch. Prevents abort messages from waiting for user acknowledgment and
removes user interaction prompts. The return value of Ghost.exe must be checked to
identify whether the operation was successful. Symantec Ghost returns 0 . success and
1 or higher . failure or error.
See “Batch file example” . page 171.
-bfc Handles bad FAT clusters when writing to disk. If this switch is set and the target
partition is FAT, Symantec Ghost checks for and works around bad sectors, and all free
sectors are verified.
This option may slow Symantec Ghost operation substantially.
-blind Prevents any GUI display. The blind switch must be used with switches that do not
require any user input, for example, the clone switch. Using this switch lets you execute
Ghost operations . a computer with no video adapter.
-bootcd When writing an image directly to a CD/DVD writer, makes the CD/DVD bootable. You
need a bootable floppy disk in drive A. If you use the -sure switch with -bootcd and a
floppy disk is not in drive A, then a non-bootable CD/DVD is created.
-buffersize=x Ghost creates an image file using a buffer of size x where x = number of KB. The default
size of the buffer is automatically calculated by Symantec Ghost. The buffersize switch
lets you override this size. You can set the buffer size value from 1 to 32.
-chkimg,filename Checks the integrity of the image file indicated by filename.
-clone Ghost.exe operation switch. This switch allows automation of Ghost.exe operations and
has a series of arguments that define the operation parameters.
See “Using the clone switch” . page 164.
-cns Reverts the naming of spanned files to the system used by versions of Symantec Ghost
prior to Symantec Ghost 6.5. If this switch is not used, then the naming of spanned files
conforms to Microsoft application guidelines. You do not need to use this switch when
reading an existing file. Use this switch when the first five characters in a file name must
be unique.
For example:
With -cns Without -cns
Filename.gho Filename.gho
Filename.001 Filen001.ghs
Filename.002 Filen002.ghs
-CRC32 The -CRC32 switch lists the files . a disk or partition or creates an image file with CRC
values and then verifies the list against the original or a copy. The purpose is to allow
both quick listing of the contents of an image file and verification that a disk created by
Symantec Ghost contains the same files as the original.
See “Using the -CRC32 switch” . page 172.
-crcignore Ignores CRC errors. CRC errors indicate data corruption. This switch overrides CRC error
detection and may allow a corrupted image file to be used. Using this switch leaves the
corrupted files in an unknown state. You can use this switch to help you extract files from
a corrupted image file.
-cvtarea Creates a file, Cvtarea.tmp, that is the location of the MFT when the FAT32 partition is
converted to NTFS. This switch operates in a similar manner to the cvtarea program that
Microsoft provides in Deploy.cab . the Windows XP installation CD.
For more information, see the Microsoft Web site:
http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/tech/storage/ntfs-preinstall.asp
The file is created in the root directory of the partition during a partition or disk restore
and is created as a contiguous space . the disk. The largest size allowed is 4 GB. If the
file is larger than this, it is truncated to 4 GB.
The syntax for this switch is as follows:
-cvtarea,filename=xxx,size=yyy{%disk,%free,KB,MB,GB},
firstcluster=zzz{%disk,%free,KB,MB,GB}
The default settings are as follows:
filename cvtarea.tmp
size 12%disk
firstcluster 1|3 GB|33%disk
Defaults to:
■
1/3 of the partition size if the partition size is less than 2 GB
■
1 GB if the partition size is less than 6 GB
■
3 GB if the partition size is equal to or greater than 6 GB
-dd Dumps disk metrics information to the dump log file, Ghststat.txt. The file location can be
altered using the -dfile=filename switch.
-dfile=filename Changes the path and file name of the dump log file created using the -dd switch.
-dl=number Specifies the number of hard disks present. Valid numbers are between 1 and 8. This may
help when the BIOS does not report the number of drives correctly.
-dlist=drives Specifies a list of drives to search for span files. If a span file cannot be found, then the
drive letters in dlist are substituted .e by .e to look for the file . other drives.
For example, the command ghost -dlist=CDEFG instructs Symantec Ghost to look for files
on C, D, E, F, and G drives. The path remains the same.
-f32 Lets Symantec Ghost convert all FAT16 volumes to FAT32 volumes when the destination
partition to convert is larger than 256 MB in size. Ensure that the installed operating
systems can access the volumes that will be converted to support FAT32.
-f64 Lets Symantec Ghost resize FAT16 partitions to be larger than 2047 MB using 64 KB
clusters. This is .ly supported by Windows NT and Windows 2000. Do not use .
computers with other operating systems.
-fatlimit Limits the size of FAT16 partitions to 2047 MB. Useful when Windows NT FAT16
partitions are present . the disk and 64 KB clusters are not wanted.
-fcr Creates a CRC32 file, Ghost.crc, while creating an image file.
See “Using the -CRC32 switch” . page 172.
-fdsp Preserves the signature bytes . the destination disk when performing a disk-to-disk or
image-to-disk cloning operation.
-fdsz Clears the signature bytes . the destination disk. This is the default for disk-to-disk and
image-to-disk operations.
-femax When an extended partition is created in a disk-to-disk or image-to-disk operation, the
femax switch ensures that the extended partition takes up all free space.
-ffatid Forces the FAT partition id. This switch changes the partition id to the recommended
partition id for the FAT partition within the destination image file or the destination
partition table. This switch .ly takes effect if the source is a disk or partition, not an
image file.
For example, if you are cloning a partition of type 0xA0 (some unknown partition id), and
Symantec Ghost sees it as a valid FATx (FAT12/FAT16/FAT32) partition, then the
partition id is changed from 0xA0 to FATx.
This was default Symantec Ghost behavior before Symantec Ghost 7.5. This switch allows
for backward compatibility.
-ffi Prefers the use of direct IDE access for IDE hard-disk operations.
-ffs Prefers the use of direct ASPI/SCSI disk access for SCSI hard-disk operations.
-ffx Prefers the use of Extended Interrupt 13h disk access for hard-disk operations.
-finger Shows the fingerprint details written . a hard disk created by Symantec Ghost. The
fingerprint details include the process used to create the disk or partition and the time,
date, and disk . which the operation was performed.
Reports the presence of a Ghost fingerprint with the following return code:
■
If any of the disks that Ghost can access have a fingerprint: 1
■
If none of the disks that Ghost can access have a fingerprint: 0
■
If the computer has no disk or none of the disks can be accessed: 2
-fis Uses all available disk space when creating partitions. By default, Symantec Ghost often
leaves a small amount of free space at the end of the disk. Because partitions must be
aligned to cylinder boundaries, Symantec Ghost may leave up to 8 MB free even when -fis
is specified.
-fni Disables direct IDE access support for IDE hard-disk operations.
-fns Disables direct ASPI/SCSI access support for SCSI hard-disk operations.
-fnx Disables extended INT13 support for hard-disk operations.
-force1394 Forces FireWire support to start, even when the FireWire controller is being run by
something else. The -force1394 switch attempts to take over the FireWire Host Controller.
To enable native BIOS support you must restart the computer.
Note the following:
■
Use this switch with caution.
■
Avoid using the force1394 switch to take over a FireWire controller from a driver, for
example, Iomega FireWire drivers. You may encounter problems if you do this.
-forceusb Forces USB support to start, even when the USB controller is being run by something else.
The -forceusb switch attempts to take over the USB Host Controller and then attempts to
return it to the previous state .ce the Ghost operation is complete. This works for
controllers as follows:
■
EHCI controllers with BIOS support are taken over and then returned to the BIOS.
■
UHCI controllers with BIOS support are taken over and then returned to the BIOS.
For example, the keyboard is returned after the Ghost operation is finished.
■
OHCI controllers with BIOS support are taken over but not returned to the BIOS.
Note the following:
■
Use this switch with caution.
■
Avoid using the forceusb switch to take over a USB controller from a driver, for
example, the Ghost peer-to-peer USB driver. You may encounter problems if you do
this.
-fro Forces Symantec Ghost to continue cloning even if the source contains bad clusters.
-fx Causes Symantec Ghost to exit to DOS after an operation is complete. By default,
Symantec Ghost prompts the user to restart or exit when the operation has finished. If
Symantec Ghost is run as part of a batch file, it is sometimes useful to exit back to the DOS
prompt after completion so that further batch commands are processed.
See “-rb” . page 160.
-ghostoncd Includes Ghost.exe . a CD/DVD when writing an image to a CD/DVD.
-h or -? or -help Shows the Symantec Ghost command-line switch Help page.
-hasfingerprint Reports the presence of a Ghost fingerprint with the following:
■
If any of the disks that Ghost can access have a fingerprint:
Display to screen: 1
Return code: 1
■
If none of the disks that Ghost can access have a fingerprint:
Display to screen: 0
Return code: 0
■
If the computer has no disk or none of the disks can be accessed:
Display to screen: unknown
Return code: 2
The display to the screen can be interpreted by any . language that is executing
Ghost. However, it is easiest to use the return value.
-ia The image all switch forces Symantec Ghost to perform a sector-by-sector copy of all
partitions. By default, when copying a partition from a disk to an image file or to another
disk, Symantec Ghost examines the source partition and decides whether to copy just the
files and directory structure or to do a sector-by-sector copy. If it understands the internal
format of the partition, it defaults to copying the files and directory structure. Generally,
this is the best option. However, if a disk has been set up with special hidden security files
that are in specific positions . the partition, the .ly way to reproduce them accurately
on the target partition is through a sector-by-sector copy. If you use this switch to create
an image of a dynamic disk, then the image must be restored to a disk with identical
geometry.
-ial Forces a sector-by-sector copy of Linux partitions. Other partitions are copied normally.
-ib The image boot switch copies the entire boot track, including the boot sector, when
creating a disk image file or copying disk-to-disk. Use this switch when installed
applications, such as boot-time utilities, use the boot track to store information. By
default, Symantec Ghost copies .ly the boot sector and does not copy the remainder of
the boot track. You cannot perform partition-to-partition or partition-to-image functions
with the -ib switch.
-id The image disk switch is similar to -ia (image all), but also copies the boot track, as in -ib
(image boot), extended partition tables, and unpartitioned space . the disk. When
looking at an image with -id, you see the unpartitioned space and extended partitions in
the list of partitions. The -id switch is primarily used by law enforcement agencies that
require forensic images.
When Symantec Ghost restores from an -id image, it relocates partitions to cylinder
boundaries and adjusts partition tables accordingly. Head, sector, and cylinder
information in partition tables is adjusted to match the geometry of the destination disk.
Partitions are not resizeable. You will need an identical or larger disk than the original.
Symantec Ghost does not wipe the destination disk when restoring from an -id image.
Geometry differences between disks may leave tracks . the destination disk with their
previous contents.
Use the -ia (image all) switch instead of the -id switch when copying partition-to-partition
or partition-to-image. An individual partition can be restored from an image created with
-id.
-imgdesc Adds a single-line image file de.ion to the image file with the following restrictions:
■
Cannot include any new lines
■
Cannot be used with -imgdescfile
■
Must be used with the clone switch
■
Clone switch mode must be create, dump, pcreate, or pdump
-imgdescfile=filename Specifies a text file that contains an image file de.ion to be added to the image file
with the following restrictions:
■
Cannot be used with -imgdesc
■
Must be used with the clone switch
■
Clone switch mode must be create, dump, prcreate, or pdump
-ir The image raw switch copies the entire disk, ignoring the partition table. This is useful
when a disk does not contain a partition table in the standard PC format, or you do not
want partitions to be realigned to track boundaries . the destination disk. Some
operating systems may not be able to access unaligned partitions. Partitions cannot be
resized during restore and you need an identical or larger disk.
-ja=sessionnm Connects to the GhostCast Server using the specified session name. Set the disk and
possibly partition to be cloned . the GhostCast Server.
-jaddr=<ip_address> Use the IP address for the GhostCast Server.
-jl:x=filename Creates a log file to assist in diagnosing GhostCasting and TCP/IP peer-to-peer problems.
The amount of information logged is set by the log level x. The log level x can be E (errors),
S (statistics), W (warnings), I (information), or A (all) in increasing order of logging detail.
The file name indicates the path and file name of the log to be created. In general, the
error and statistic levels do not affect session performance. All other levels may reduce
performance and should be used for diagnostic purposes .ly.
-jm=[u|d|m] Use unicasting, direct broadcast, or multicasting.
-js=n Sets to n the number of router hops Symantec Ghost is allowed to cross in an attempt to
find the GhostCast Server. (Default is 16.)
-lockinfo Shows the type code and information stored in the BIOS or the Pentium III Processor ID.
For example:
Type Based . Value
M Manufacturer Compaq
P Product name Deskpro EN Series SFF
V Version Award Software
S Serial number H925CKH60020
U UUID 2DA9379B4707D31185E8C800A4F232BC
C M&P combined Compaq Deskpro EN Series SFF
I PIII ID 0000067200028E72A6994A20
-locktype= Type Lets you lock an image file for use with a specific set of computers defined by the type
chosen and the source computer.
For example, ghost -locktype=P creates an image that can be used .ly . systems that
have the same product name type as the source computer.
On computers with multiple processors, the processorID bios lock option does not work as
intended when running Ghost32.exe. In this situation, do not create or restore images
with the -locktype parameter set to I. Other -locktype values work as intended.
-lpm The LPT master mode switch causes Symantec Ghost to automatically go into LPT master
mode and is the equivalent of selecting LPT Master from the main menu.
See “Peer-to-peer connections” . page 212.
-lps The LPT slave mode switch causes Symantec Ghost to automatically go into LPT slave
mode and is the equivalent of selecting LPT Slave from the main menu.
See “Peer-to-peer connections” . page 212.
-noauto Disables the automatic naming of spanned image files during creation. The user is
prompted for confirmation of the next destination location for the remainder of the image
file that is being restored.
-noautoskip Includes the hibernation and skip files in the image file. These files are excluded by
default.
For more information . hibernation and skip files, see the Symantec Ghost
Implementation Guide.
-nofile Disables the Image File Selection dialog box. Useful when opening directories with large
numbers of files and slow links.
-noide Disables access to IDE devices. This is equivalent to -fni for IDE disks, but noide also
affects ATAPI CD writers, tape drives, and other IDE devices.
-noindex Prevents Symantec Ghost from creating an index when creating an image file. This
slightly reduces the size of the image file and saves memory, but Ghost Explorer is much
slower in reading the image file. This switch is useful if you are saving an image file from a
large disk with very little memory.
-nolilo Does not attempt to patch the LILO or GRUB boot loader after a clone. If you use the -
nolilo switch, you can restart your computer from a floppy disk or CD after a clone and
then run
/sbin/lilo or the GRUB install . as the root user to reinstall the boot loader.
-noscsi Disables access to SCSI devices using ASPI. This is equivalent to -fns for SCSI disks, but
noscsi also affects SCSI CD writers, tape drives, and other SCSI devices.
-no1394 Disables FireWire support.
-nousb Disables USB support.
-ntc- Disables NTFS contiguous run allocation.
-ntchkdsk Sets the CHKDSK bit set . a copied NTFS volume. This causes Windows NT to check the
integrity of the volume when it is started.
-ntd Enables NTFS internal diagnostic checking.
-ntic Ignores the NTFS volume CHKDSK bit. Symantec Ghost checks the CHKDSK bit . an
NTFS volume before performing operations. When Symantec Ghost indicates that the
CHDSK bit is set, you should run CHKDSK . the volume to ensure that the disk is in a
sound state before cloning.
-ntiid This switch forces Symantec Ghost to ignore the partition table system ids and instead to
check the partition contents when detecting NTFS file systems. This switch is useful when
the system id is not set to 0x07 for partitions containing NTFS file systems. The partitions
would otherwise be inefficiently imaged sector-by-sector. This switch can be used when it
is necessary to image a Windows NT4 FTDisk mirrored partition.
Take care when using this switch. Do not use the -ntiid switch with volume sets and stripe
sets.
To clone mirrored partitions (also known as Windows NT software RAID partitions)
1 With Windows NT disk administrator, break the mirror set.
2 Using the -ntiid switch, clone .e of the mirror partitions.
3 Resize as desired. Partitions can .ly be resized by Symantec Ghost during a disk
operation. When performing a partition operation, the target partition size must
already be established.
4 After cloning, recreate the mirror set using the Windows NT disk administrator. The
disk administrator creates the partitions in the mirror set.
-ntil Ignores NTFS log file check (inconsistent volume).
-or The override switch allows the override of internal space and integrity checks and lets you
put a very big image into a small partition. The operation fails if it is unable to write to the
limited partition size. This switch lets you override spanning, which fails if there is limited
space. Avoid using this switch.
-pfile Saves the File Preservation Metadata File that holds the location of preserved files to a
specified location. By default, it is saved to the current directory.
For example,
ghost - pfile=c:\pathname
Where pathname is the directory for the File Preservation Metadata File.
-pmbr Specifies that the master boot record of the destination disk is to be preserved when
performing a disk-to-disk or image-to-disk operation.
-prefghst If Symantec Ghost has a choice, it attempts to use internal Ghost file system access as
opposed to using the operating system for file system access.
This switch is intended for use under instruction from Symantec Technical Support when
troubleshooting.
-prefos If Symantec Ghost has a choice, it attempts to use the operating system for file system
access as opposed to using the internal Ghost file system access.
This switch is intended for use under instruction from Symantec Technical Support when
troubleshooting.
-preserve Preserves files specified by the preservedest switch. The task fails if the specified files do
not exist. To preserve files or directories other than the image file, the syntax is as follows:
-preserve=filepath[=newpath] [,filepath[=newpath]...]
Each filepath can refer to an individual file or a directory. All files and subdirectories of a
specified directory are preserved. If a file does not exist, then the restore fails. After a
Clone step in a task, all preserved files are added back to the partition specified by the
-preservedest=n switch, renaming them to newpath where specified. You must use
-preserve with -preservedest.
-preservedest=n Where n is the number of the partition relative to the destination disk, not relative to the
partitions being restored. Specifies the partition to which files specified with the preserve
switch are restored.
-preservedimage Deletes a preserved image file .ce the restore has completed successfully. This switch
deleteafterclone overrides the default, which is to retain the preserved image file.
-preserveifexists Preserves files specified by the preservedest switch if they exist. The task does not fail if
the specified files do not exist. To preserve files or directories other than the image file,
the syntax is as follows:
-preserveifexists=filepath[=newpath] [,filepath[=newpath]...]
Each filepath can refer to an individual file or a directory. All files and subdirectories of a
specified directory are preserved. If a file does not exist, then the restore fails. After a
Clone step in a task, all preserved files are added back to the destination specified by the
-preservedest=n switch, renaming them to newpath where specified. You must use the
-preserveifexists switch with -preservedest.
-pwd and -pwd=x Specifies that password protection be used when creating an image file.
x indicates the password for the image file. If no password is given in the switch, Symantec
Ghost prompts for .e. You can enter a maximum of 10 alphanumeric characters.
-quiet The quiet mode switch disables status updates and user intervention.
-rb Restarts after finishing a restore or copy. After completing a restore or copy operation,
the target computer must be restarted so that the operating system can restore the new
disk/partition information. Normally, Symantec Ghost prompts the user to restart or exit.
The -rb switch tells Symantec Ghost to restart automatically after it completes the restore
or copy. This is useful when automating Symantec Ghost in a batch command file.
See “-fx” . page 154.
-recover Sets the default to recover preserved files if a previous restore has failed and the File
Preservation Metadata File still exists. If this switch is not used, the default is set to abort.
-. Allows you to specify a series of commands (one per line) that Symantec Ghost will
execute in sequential order.
For example:
ghost -.=..txt
Following is an example of ..txt:
-clone,mode=create,src=2,dst=1:1\drv2.gho
-chkimg,1:1\drv2.gho
-clone,mode=create,src=2,dst=c:\part2.gho
-chkimg,c:\part2.gho
In this example 1:1 is equivalent to c:\.
-skip=x The skip file switch causes Symantec Ghost to exclude the indicated files during a create
or restore operation. A skip entry can specify a single file, a directory, or multiple files
using the * wildcard. File names must be given in short file name format and all path
names are absolute. .ly FAT system files can be skipped. It is not possible to skip files .
NTFS or other file systems. The skip switch may .ly be included in the command line
once. To specify multiple skip entries, they must be included in a text file indicated using
-skip=@skipfile. The format of the skip text file, skipfile, matches the format used with the
CRC32 vexcept option.
For example:
■
-skip=\windows\user.dll
Skips the file User.dll in the Windows directory.
■
-skip=*\readme.txt
Skips any file called Readme.txt in any directory.
■
-skip=\ghost\*.dll
Skips any file ending with .dll in the Ghost directory.
■
-skip=\progra~1\
Skips the program files directory (note the short file name).
Skips files as outlined in Skipfile.txt. For example:
*\*.tmt
[partition:1]
\windows\
*\*.exe
[Partition:2]
*\*me.txt
This Skipfile.txt file would skip all *.tmt files . any partition, the Windows
directory, all *.exe files . the first partition, and any file that ends with me.txt .
the second partition.
-span Enables spanning of image files across volumes.
Do not use this switch if you are running Ghost.exe to write an image file directly to a CD-
R/RW. Ghost.exe automatically spans CD-R/RW disks if required.
-split=x Splits image file into x MB spans. Use this switch to create a forced-size volume set. For
example, if you want to force smaller image files from a 1024 MB drive, you could specify
200 MB segments.
For example:
ghost.exe -split=200
This divides the image into 200 MB segments.
If this switch is not used then an image is split at 2 GB in the following operations:
■
GhostCast
■
Peer-to-peer
■
Creating an image . a mapped-network drive
If this switch is explicitly set to 0, the image does not split.
-sure Use the -sure switch in conjunction with -clone to avoid being prompted with the final
question “Proceed with disk clone - destination drive will be overwritten?” This command
is useful in batch mode.
-sze Sets the size for the destination partitions for either a disk restore or disk copy operation.
When numbering partitions in the -sze switch, do not include the hidden Ghost partition.
This switch is intended to be used in the Additional command line in the Console. All
functionality of -sze switches are supported.
See “Setting a destination size for the clone switch” . page 168.
-szee Forces Symantec Ghost to keep the sizes of all destination partitions the same as in the
source partition (no resizing).
This switch can be used with or without the -clone switch.
See “Setting a destination size for the clone switch” . page 168.
-szef Forces Symantec Ghost to keep the sizes of all destination partitions, except for the first
one, the same as in the source partition. The first partition uses the remaining disk space.
This switch can be used with or without the -clone switch.
See “Setting a destination size for the clone switch” . page 168.
-szel Forces Symantec Ghost to keep the sizes of all destination partitions, except for the last
one, the same as in the source partition. The last partition uses the remaining disk space.
This switch can be used with or without the -clone switch.
See “Setting a destination size for the clone switch” . page 168.
-tapebuffered Default tape mode. Sets the ASPI driver to report a read/write as successful as soon as the
data has been transferred to memory. Useful when using older or unreliable tape devices
or sequential media.
-tapeeject Forces Symantec Ghost to eject the tape following a tape operation. If the tape drive does
not support remote ejection, you must eject and insert the tape manually before further
use. Earlier versions ejected the tape by default. By default, Symantec Ghost does not eject
the tape. It rewinds the tape before exiting to DOS.
-tapebsize=x Specifies the tape block size in units of 512 bytes, where x is a number between 1 and 128.
-tapespeed=x Allows control of tape speed, where x is 0 to F. 0 is the default. 1 to F increases tape speed.
Only use this when the tape does not work correctly at the speed used by Symantec Ghost.
-tapeunbuffered Sets the ASPI driver to report a read/write as successful .ly when the data has been
transferred to the tape drive. This can occur before the data is physically written to the
medium.
-tcpm[:slave IP address] The TCP/IP master mode switch causes Symantec Ghost to go into TCP/IP master mode
automatically and is the equivalent of selecting TCP/IP Master from the main menu. The
IP address of the slave computer may be specified.
See “Peer-to-peer connections” . page 212.
-tcps The TCP/IP slave mode switch causes Symantec Ghost to go into TCP/IP slave mode
automatically and is the equivalent of selecting TCP/IP Slave from the main menu.
See “Peer-to-peer connections” . page 212.
-unpreserveimage After a failed restore, do not preserve the image file that was used . the failed restore.
-usbm The USB master mode switch causes Symantec Ghost to go into USB master mode
automatically and is the equivalent of selecting USB Master from the main menu.
See “Peer-to-peer connections” . page 212.
-usbs The -usbs switch causes Symantec Ghost to go into USB slave mode automatically and is
the equivalent of selecting USB Slave from the main menu.
See “Peer-to-peer connections” . page 212.
-vdw If the -vdw switch is set, Symantec Ghost uses the disk’s verify command to check every
sector . the disk before it is written. This option may slow Symantec Ghost operation
substantially.
-ver Shows the version number of Symantec Ghost.
-z Runs compression when saving a disk or partition to an image file. The greater the
compression, the slower the transmission, as follows:
■
-z or -z1: Low compression (fast transmission)
■
-z2: High compression (medium transmission)
■
-z3 through -z9: Higher compression (slower transmission)
For more information . image files and compression, see the Symantec Ghost
Implementation Guide.
