Introducing Norton Ghost
Norton Ghost protects your data from computer disasters. The intuitive
Windows interface lets you create backup images of your hard disk or selected
partitions. You can clone directly between two computers using a network, USB,
or parallel connection. Norton Ghost is based on the robust cloning technology
of Symantec Ghost Enterprise.
Norton Ghost includes the following features:
■ Backup flexibility: Back up directly to a wide range of hard drives and
removable media, including CD-R/RW drives, FireWire and USB hard
drives, DVD devices, Iomega, ZIP, and JAZ drives.
■ Peer-to-peer communication: Fast peer-to-peer communication using high-
speed parallel, USB, or network IP connections.
■ Operating system support: You can back up, restore, or clone computers
installed with DOS, Windows 2000/XP/NT/9x, OS/2, or Linux.
■ File system support: You can back up, restore, or clone FAT, FAT32, NTFS,
and Linux Ext2/3 file systems.
■ Image file editing: Ghost Explorer lets you edit FAT and FAT32 image files.
■ Restore individual files: Ghost Explorer lets you restore individual files from
an image file.
■ Disk and partition management: You can run GDisk from DOS or in a
command shell from within Windows to manage partitions and disks.
■ Tutorials: A set of tutorials is included in Norton Ghost to provide a
demonstration of the most commonly used functions.
