Backing up, restoring, and cloning from DOS

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 

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.

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.
