  • 1.  Ghost32 command line examples

    Posted Sep 03, 2008 08:05 AM

    I am looking for some input or examples using Ghost32.exe using GhostPE, restoring an image.

     

    Scenario

     

    one machine

    3 images

    3 partitions

     

    We have a different image for each partition, depending on what department the machine is going to.

     

    I believe, I will need to use the clone command, but just wanted to make sure.

     


    Thanks

    Please refer to ghost implemntation guide for more details but in nutshell:

    ghost32 -clone,src=X,dst=Y,mode=Z -batch -sure

     

    where:

    X and Y could be in the form 1 - disk 1, 1:1 - disk 1 volume 1, c:\, image name, virtual disk name (VMDK/V2I/PQI files). You can create and restore t/from VMDK but only restore from V2I/PQi images.

    Z - create /restore/load etc.

     

    -batch enables batch mode with automatic selection from all disks and volumes dialogs and -sure answers yes to all prompts.

     

    Hope this helps.

    Eugene,

     

    Helps me out a lot...

     

    Is their a big difference between   "prestore" and "restore".

     

    Below is an example I created for one of the machines that I image.

     

     

     

     

    X:\ghost\ghost32.exe -clone,mode=prestore,src=i:\Dell\6300-M90\x64\X6E11.gho:1,dst=1:1 -sure
    X:\ghost\ghost32.exe -clone,mode=prestore,src=i:\common\p2\p2catia.gho:1,dst=1:2 -sure
    X:\ghost\ghost32.exe -clone,mode=prestore,src=i:\Common\P3\P3UserE_Notes7.gho:1,dst=1:3 -sure  -rb

    Hi,

    Anything with "p" startnds for partition: pcreate/prestore/pload etc., ie I want to get one/two partitions from this disk. create/load/restore refers to full disk operations.

    Cheers.
