GHOST is a utility program which allows copying complete disks, either
from one computer to another (via NetBios) or on the same computer,
via a disk to disk copy.
The disks do not have to be the same size, or have the same physical
characteristics (eg sectors per track). Ghost will copy all partitions,
including non-Dos partitions (eg Diagnostic partitions and Power saving
partitions on NoteBook computers).
Dos (including Windows,W95 and OS/2 Fat) partitions may be expanded or
contracted to fit the destination drive.
Ghost will copy Unix partitions, however the source and destination
drives must be identical for Unix to work on the target drive.
Using NetBIOS
-------------
The NetBIOS interface provides peer to peer connection, and allows
cloning of a complete drive to a remote computer.
Both computers must have a network card and be running the minimum
network software needed for a NetBios connection (see below for details).
Ghost should be run on both the source and target simultaneously. Select
"NetBios Slave" for the computer containing the target drive, and "NetBios
Master" for the computer containing the source drive.
Ghost will automatically connect the two computers. Once connected all
dialogue is with the "NetBios Master" computer.
It may be useful to have a special boot diskette which loads just the
software needed by Ghost for the NetBIOS connect. Eg for a NE2000 network
card the following files would be required:
NE2000 INS 677 11-19-93 1:59p
NE2000 COM 21,188 07-30-93 9:38a
IPXODI COM 30,247 10-07-93 4:52p
LSL COM 17,805 09-10-93 3:48p
NET CFG 262 04-21-95 5:54p
NETBIOS EXE 24,402 11-19-93 11:05a
A batch file such as the following MHNET.BAT would be called from
the AUTOEXEC.BAT file (ie CALL MHNET.BAT)
rem MHNET.BAT
LH LSL
LH NE2000
LH IPXODI
LH NETBIOS

----------
1) Ghost for end users (the $99 version) is licenced per PC, and the
internal security will only allow it to work on the licenced PC.
Ghost Professional will work on any PC and may be run from a bootable
floppy. Ghost Professional uses a hardware activator key which attaches
to the parallel port of the PC being used. Ghost Professional is priced
at $245, with quantity discounts (call or fax for price list).
2) 1.3.0 allows batch processing. Try:
GHOST -H
for a list of valid switches.
