Splitting an image file during a backup

To split an image file as it is created, run Norton Ghost from the command line in DOS, using the -split and -autoname switches.

To split an image file as it is created

1Start Ghost.exe using the -split and -auto switches. For example:

a:\ghost.exe -split=600 -auto

See “Starting the Norton Ghost executable” on page 93.

2Create and save the image file.

See “Creating a backup image file” on page 97.

The -split command in this example limits the image size to a maximum of 600 megabytes for any one segment. The -auto switch names each of the segments numerically.

See “Command-line switches” on page 153.
