Ghost Solution Suite

I have a preconfigured Ghostcast session setup with a 1 minute timeout and everything works well.  the proper disk and partition get ghosted.  I would like to know if it is possible to add a switch that allows the data preservation.  I want to exclude C:\Backupprofile.ump from being ghosted. 

 

I have a ghost task created that does this.  But I want to see if i can transfer this task into a mobile command line from a usb drive.  I have already tried looking at the ghost outgoing directory when executing the task.  But the directory remains empty.

 

thanks

Hi Chris,

 

Please correct me if my understanding is incorrect.

You want to restore an image manually using multicasting and Ghost and preserve files.  If this is the case, you can use -preserve switch along with ghost.exe.
 
For example, if a preserved file "Backupprofile.ump" is located at a folder "backup" on the first disk and first partition, the syntax for the preserve switch is -preserve="1.1:\backup\Backupprofile.ump"
 
If you want to preserve the same file and rename it to "Backupprofile_renamed.ump" at the same location, use this -preserve="1.1:\backup\Backupprofile.ump"="\backup\Backupprofile_renamed.ump".

 

Hope this answers your question.

 

Thanks,

Jenny

This looks very promising.  I thought I had read somewhere that this could not be done on a NTFS formatted drive.  Is that the case?  Does it also matter where the -preserve switch is located in the command line?
