Command-line switches

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. 

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. 

Destination options for cloning

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/
dvdwriter

@CDx

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