Until it was removed, the Symantec Ghost Web page invited Ghost customers to try Symantec System Recovery, described as software for backup and disaster recovery. Support via chat and knowledge base was available until June 30, 2014. Norton Ghost was discontinued on April 30, 2013. In 1998, Ghost 4.1 supports password-protected images. The additional memory available allows Ghost to provide several levels of compression for images, and to provide the file browser. Version 4.0 also moved from real-modeDOS to 286protected mode. Ghost Explorer could work with images from older versions but only slowly version 4 images contain indexes to find files rapidly. Until 2007, Ghost Explorer could not edit NTFS images. Explorer was subsequently enhanced to support adding and deleting files in an image with FAT, and later with ext2, ext3 and NTFSfile systems. This version also introduced Ghost Explorer, a Windows program which supports browsing the contents of an image file and extract individual files from it. Multicasting supports sending a single backup image simultaneously to other machines without putting greater stress on the network than by sending an image to a single machine.

Version 4.0 of Ghost added multicast technology, following the lead of a competitor, ImageCast. which is part of Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 2.5 I am using Symantec Ghost Console Version 11.

SYMANTEC GHOST 3.1 CREATE BOOT DRIVE HOW TO

I have all of the 64-bit Ghost files, but I cannot figure out how to create the disk through the Ghost Boot Wizard. I am assuming my problem is the file on the Disk is Ghost32.exe and does not work with 64-bit Windowsĭoes anyone know how I can make a 64-bit bootable disk? If I get into Windows and put the bootable disk in the drive to run through the OS it sees all files on all drives fine, but I need it to work as bootable to create the image. It works completely fine on all of my 32-bit machines.

I can see all my network drives and Local drives, but when I open them nothing is seen.

SYMANTEC GHOST 3.1 CREATE BOOT DRIVE PC

Now I have a PC that is Windows 7 64-bit and I want to make a backup copy of it but when I put my Ghost bootable disk in it starts okay but here is the problem. All of our PC's were 32-bit due to some old software that we could not use on 64-bit. You need a WinPE / Hirens MiniXP disc to boot up and restore image though.I have been using Symantec Ghost for quite a while with no issues. If you run it off the network, you can image a windows host while it's still running and dump the image across the network and its very fast, not sure if there is anything else like this? The only thing is images are bigger than Acronis. Second option is the amazing Drive Snapshot (just a small file), which will image a disk while the OS is actually still running on it. Acronis 10/11 etc using an earlier Acronis 8. But you cannot restore images made with ie. We use Acronis 8.0 since the CD seems more reliable - use can use later versions of Acronis to restore a Acronis 8 image. Ghost was used a lot in corporate environment, but became a no no after we got corrupt images (which were only found out when trying to restore back).ĭrive Image (PQMagic) had excellent HD tools and nice Gui - again due to corrupt image problem it was dropped (NOTE.these issues we had were around 10 years ago, so the vendor has probably updated the product and resolved them).Īcronis because it has never failed, backups/restores are 100%, compression is good, the BootCD boots up so far on any system and HDdrive is always visible. We've tried various products on this list. I work in a school, we have to contend with grimy little children. It's free, and well supported (drivers for new Dell machines came out within a few weeks of the machines being available, SystemRescueCD is actively developed).

SYMANTEC GHOST 3.1 CREATE BOOT DRIVE DRIVER

If you're using Windows XP (don't know about Vista, haven't had to try) you can use the ext2fsd Ext2 filesystem driver to make it possible to re-write the ext2 partition, and therefore the GRUB conf file, from a Windows script, therefore making it possible to have Windows automatically reboot and re-image itself. For the actual imaging you can use dd, as already pointed out, or PartImage, both of which will handle NTFS partitions. Booting SystemRescueCD runs an autorun script that checks a network drive for a disk image of that machine (use the network card's MAC address to identify machines) and reimages the machine if it finds one.

SYMANTEC GHOST 3.1 CREATE BOOT DRIVE INSTALL

I partition the drive to create a small ext2 partition, then install the GRUB boot loader set up to allow booting to either Windows on the first partition or SystemRescueCD on the second partition.

For Windows client machines on my network, I use SystemRescueCD, a boot-from-a-CD Linux distribution that you can also install on a harddrive partition.
