Using Norton Ghost with switches
Using Norton Ghost with switches
Norton Ghost can be run in the following ways:
■ Interactively with no command-line switches
■ Interactively with selected switches
■ Automated in batch files (batch mode)
The Norton Ghost command-line switches are used to alter Norton Ghost
behavior and automate procedures.
If you are adding switches from the Advanced Options dialog box, some of these
switches, for example, the -clone switch, are not applicable to your task. Because
you are already performing a backup, restore, or clone operation, the -clone
switch is redundant.
To list Norton Ghost command-line switches
◆ In the Ghost directory, type one of the following:
■ ghost.exe -h
■ ghost.exe -?
A hyphen (-) or a slash (/) must precede all switches except @. Switches are not
case sensitive. They can be entered in upper, lower, or mixed case.
Command-line switches
@filename Specifies a file that contains additional command-line switches that Norton Ghost should
read. Filename indicates the path and file name of the command-line switch file. The
command-line switch file can include any Norton Ghost command-line switch, except for
-afile and -dfile. The Norton Ghost command-line switch file must be a text file with each
switch on a separate line. This feature lets you exceed the DOS command-line limit of 150
characters.
For example, for the following command line:
ghost.exe @ghswitch.txt
The file Ghswitch.txt would read:
-clone,mode=pcreate,src=1:2,dst=g:\part2.gho
-fcr
-sure
