-skip=x

The skip file switch causes Norton Ghost to exclude the indicated files during a create or

 

restore operation. A skip entry can specify a single file, a directory, or multiple files using

 

the * wildcard. File names must be given in short file name format and all path names are

 

absolute. Only FAT system files can be skipped. It is not possible to skip files on NTFS or

 

other file systems. The skip switch may only be included in the command line once. To

 

specify multiple skip entries, they must be included in a text file indicated using

 

-skip=@skipfile. The format of the skip text file, skipfile, matches the format used with the

 

CRC32 vexcept option.

 

For example:

 

-skip=\windows\user.dll

 

 

Skips the file User.dll in the Windows directory.

 

-skip=*\readme.txt

 

 

Skips any file called Readme.txt in any directory.

 

-skip=\ghost\*.dll

 

 

Skips any file ending with .dll in the Ghost directory.

 

-skip=\progra~1\

 

 

Skips the program files directory (note the short file name).

 

-skip=@skipfile.txt

 

 

Skips files as outlined in Skipfile.txt. For example, if Skipfile.txt contains:

 

 

*\*.tmt

 

 

[partition:1]

 

 

\windows\

 

 

*\*.exe

 

 

[Partition:2]

 

 

*\*me.txt

 

 

This would skip all *.tmt files on any partition, the Windows directory, all *.exe files

 

 

on the first partition, and any file that ends with me.txt on the second partition.

-span

Enables spanning of image files across volumes.

 

Do not use this switch if you are running Ghost.exe to write an image file directly to a CD-

 

R/RW. Ghost.exe automatically spans CD-R/RW disks if required.

-split=x

Splits image file into x MB spans. Use this switch to create a forced-size volume set. For

 

example, if you want to force smaller image files from a 1024 MB drive, you could specify

 

200 MB segments.

 

For example:

 

ghost.exe -split=200

 

This divides the image into 200 MB segments.

-sure

Use the -sure switch in conjunction with -clone to avoid being prompted with the final

 

question “Proceed with disk clone - destination drive will be overwritten?” This command

 

is useful in batch mode.
