Setting a destination for the clone switch

The syntax for this switch is as follows:

DST={disk file tape cd/dvdwriter}

DST defines the destination location for the operation.

Switch

Destination

Explanation

 

 

 

disk

drive

The destination disk drive number, such as DST=2

 

 

A partition on a drive can also be specified. For example:

 

 

DST=2:1

 

 

To create a new partition, type a destination partition one

 

 

greater than the existing number of partitions, if there is

 

 

enough free space.

 

 

 

file

filename

The destination image file name. For example:

 

 

DST= g:\destination.gho

 

 

To specify a file located on a file system not recognized by

 

 

DOS, such as NTFS, use the same format as the disk switch,

 

 

specifying both a disk and partition. For example:

 

 

dst=1:2\image.gho

 

 

In this case, Image.gho is created on the NTFS volume that

 

 

resides on the second partition on the first disk.

 

 

 

tape

@MTx

The tape drive number. Numbers start at 0. For example:

 

 

DST=@MT0

 

 

 

cd/

@CDx

The CD or DVD writer drive number. Numbers start at 1. For

dvdwriter

 

example:

 

 

DST=@CD1

 

 

If you have a CD reader and a CD writer, in the Ghost.exe

 

 

user interface you would see @CD1 and @ CD2. The number

 

 

is optional if specifying an operation from the command-

 

 

line.

 

 

 

Setting a destination size for the clone switch

SZE sets the size of the destination partitions for either a disk restore or disk copy operation. This is optional. Multiple partition size switches are supported.
