Command-line switches
-tcps The TCP/IP slave mode switch causes Norton 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” on page 178.
-usbm The USB master mode switch causes Norton Ghost to go into USB master mode
automatically, and is the equivalent of selecting USB Master from the main menu. This
switch should precede the -clone switch. For example,
ghost.exe -usbm -clone,mode=dump,src=1,dst=1:1\image.gho See “Peer-to-peer
connections” on page 178.
-usbs The USB slave mode switch causes Norton Ghost to go into USB slave mode automatically,
and is the equivalent of selecting USB Slave from the main menu. This switch should
precede the -clone switch. See “Peer-to-peer connections” on page 178.
-vdw If this switch is set, Norton Ghost uses the disk’s verify command to check every sector on
the disk before it is written. This option may slow Norton Ghost operation substantially.
-ver Shows the version number of Norton Ghost.
-z Runs compression when saving a disk or partition to an image file. The greater the
compression, the slower the transmission.
■ -z or -z1: Low compression (fast transmission)
■ -z2: High compression (medium transmission)
■ -z3 through -z9: Higher compression (slower transmission)
See “Image files and compression” on page 62.
