Establishing a peer-to-peer connection with Ghost.exe

If you are using an LPT, USB, or TCP peer-to-peer connection, then you must set up the connection between your computers before a clone, backup or restore operation.

The computers must be physically connected using one of the following:

■LPT: A parallel connection cable

■USB: A USB 1.1 cable

■TCP peer-to-peer: A network connection See “TCP/IP connections” on page 178.

In a peer-to-peer operation, one computer is designated the master computer, and the other is designated the slave computer. This table describes the possible Norton Ghost processes and the master/slave relationships that exist between two computers.

Table 7-1	Master and slave computers
Action		Master	Slave
Disk-to-disk clone		Computer containing source	Computer containing
		disk	destination disk
Back up disk to image		Computer containing source	Computer receiving
file		disk	destination image file
Restore disk from		Computer containing	Computer containing source
image file		destination disk	image file
Partition-to-partition		Computer containing source	Computer containing
clone		partition	destination partition
Back up partition to		Computer containing source	Computer receiving
image file		partition	destination image file
Restore partition from		Computer containing	Computer containing source
image file		destination partition	image file

Select which computer is the master (the computer from which you control the connection), and which is the slave (the other computer participating in the connection). All operator input must occur on the master computer.
