Command Line Syntax:

-CLONE,mode={COPY|LOAD|DUMP},src={drive|file},dst={drive|file}
-CLONE,mode={PCOPY|PLOAD|PDUMP},src={drive:partition|file:partition},
dst={drive:partition|file}
-CLONE,mode={COPY|LOAD|DUMP|PCOPY|PLOAD|PDUMP},src={drive|file},dst={drive|file},
szen={F|V|nnnnM|nnP},sze{F|L}

GHOST command line arguments can be read from a file, using the syntax:
GHOST.EXE @argument.fil
Argument.fil can contain any command line argument, one per line, except for -AFILE=
and -DFILE=. This feature is a workaround for the MSDOS command line limit of 150
characters.

Some examples of batch cloning via GHOST's command line syntax:

ghost.exe -clone,mode=copy,src=1,dst=2 -sure
- COPIES drive one to drive two in local mode without final prompt.

ghost.exe -nbm -clone,mode=dump,src=2,dst=c:drive2.img
- CONNECT via NetBIOS to a GHOST slave running on a remote PC and DUMP a disk image
  of local drive 2 to the remote file C:DRIVE2.IMG.
  Note that the slave GHOST can be started with: ghost.exe -nbs

ghost.exe -clone,mode=load,src=e:savdsk.img,dst=1
- LOADS the disk image file SAVEDSK.IMG file held on the network partition
  E: onto drive 1 of the local PC.

ghost.exe -clone,mode=pdump,src=1:2,dst=g:\imgs\part2.img
- DUMPS the second partition of drive 1 to an image file.

ghost.exe -clone,mode=pload,src=g:\imgs\part2.img:2,dst=1:2
- LOADS partition 2 from an image file onto the second partition of local hard drive 1.

ghost.exe -clone,mode=pcopy,src=1:2,dst=2:1
- COPIES the second partition on drive one to the first parition on drive two.

ghost.exe -clone,mode=load,src=g:\imgs\2prtdisk.img,dst=2,sze1=60P,sze2=40P
- LOADS drive 2 from an image file and resizes the destination partitions into a
  60/40 allocation.

ghost.exe -clone,mode=load,src=e:\imgs\3prtdisk.img,dst=1,sze1=450M,sze2=1599M,sze3=2047M
- LOADS drive 1 from an image file and resizes the first partition to 450 megs, the
  second to 1599 megs and the third to 2047 megs.

ghost.exe -clone,mode=copy,src=1,dst=2,sze1=F,sze2=V,sze3=V
- COPIES a three partition disk and keeps the first partition on the destination drive
  the same size as on the source disk, but divide up the remaining space between the
  other partitions leaving no unallocated space.

ghost.exe -clone,mode=load,src=g:\imgs\2prtdisk.img,dst=1,szeL
- LOADS a disk from an image file and resizes the last partition to its capacity.
  The first partition utilizes the remaining space.

ghost.exe -clone,src=@MCrestore,dst=1
- Join Multicast session named "restore" and load image to disk 1.

ghost.exe -clone,src=1,dst=@MCcreate
- Join Multicast session named "create" and dump image from disk 1.

CRC32 Switch Usage Addendum:

The -CRC32 switch allows making a list of the files on a disk or partition or in a
dumpfile with CRC values for each, and to verify that list against the original or a
clone. The purpose is to allow both quick listing of the contents of a dumpfile and
verification that a GHOSTed disk contains the same files as the original. CRC checking
works file-by-file with FAT partitions. NTFS partitions are CRC checked within a dump
file by each MFT table. It is not possible at present to obtain a list of files failing
a CRC check with an NTFS file system. When a CRC file is created for an NTFS partition,
only a single CRC value is generated. You can also create a CRC file from a dumpfile,
and verify against a disk.

The full syntax for this switch is:

-CRC32,action={create|verify|pcreate|pverify|dcreate|dverify},
src={{Disk Spec}|{Part Spec}|{File}},{crcfile={File}|vlist={File}|vexcept={File}}

(No spaces are allowed in the command line).

crcfile={File} :: ASCII CRC file - default=ghost.crc
vlist={File}   :: Verification list file - default=ghost.ls
vexcept={File} :: Verification exception file - no default

The possible actions are:

Action          Description
------          -----------
create          Create an ASCII CRC file from a disk
verify          Verify a disk from a CRC file
pcreate         Create an ASCII CRC file from a partition
pverify         Verify a partition from an ASCII CRC file
dcreate         Create an ASCII CRC file from a dump file
dverify         Verify a dump file from an ASCII CRC file

Some examples of -CRC32 in action:

ghost -fcr
- CREATE a CRC file (called GHOST.CRC) while making a dumpfile.

ghost -CRC32,action=create,src=1,crcfile=ghost.crc
- CREATE a list of files and CRC values for a disk.

ghost -CRC32,action=dverify,src=x:dumpfile.gho,crcfile=ghost.crc
 - VERIFY the list against a dumpfile.

ghost -CRC32,action=create
- CREATE an ASCII CRC32 file from the primary hard drive. Note that the default disk
  is the primary drive, the default ASCII CRC32 file is GHOST.CRC.

ghost -CRC32,action=create,src=2,crcfile=myfile.txt
- CREATE an ASCII CRC32 file. Same as previous except you specify the disk and ASCII
  CRC32 file. This example uses disk 2 as the source drive and the output file
  MYFILE.TXT.

ghost -CRC32,action=verify
- VERIFY the contents of the primary drive against CRC32 file. Once again, the default
  disk is the primary drive and the default ASCII CRC32 file is GHOST.CRC (in the
  current directory). In addition, the default verification list file is GHOST.LS.

ghost -CRC32,action=verify,src=1,crcfile=myfile.txt,vlist=myfile.out
- VERIFY the contents of the primary drive against CRC32 file. Same as previous, but
  specify the disk, CRC file and list file. This example uses disk 1 as the source
  drive, MYFILE.TXT as the ASCII CRC32 file and MYFILE.OUT as the verification list
  file.

ghost -CRC32,action=verify,src=1,crcfile=myfile.txt,vlist=myfile.out,vexcept=myfile.exc
- VERIFY the contents of the primary drive against CRC32 file. Same as above with the
  inclusion of the EXCEPTION argument which exludes compared files based upon its
  entries.

The VEXCEPT argument specifies files which are not checked with CRC. This is normally
used to exclude files which are always changed on boot.
A sample exception text file is:

[Ghost exclusion list]
\PERSONAL\PHONE
[Partition: 1]
\WINDOWS\COOKIES\*.*
\WINDOWS\HISTORY\*
\WINDOWS\RECENT\*
\WINDOWS\USER.DAT
\WINDOWS\TEMPOR~1\CACHE1\*
\WINDOWS\TEMPOR~1\CACHE2\*
\WINDOWS\TEMPOR~1\CACHE3\*
\WINDOWS\TEMPOR~1\CACHE4\*
[Partition: 2]
*\*.1
[End of list]

The exclusion list is case sensitive; all files should be specified in upper case.
The * wildcard follows Unix rules, it is more powerful than the MSDOS *. In particular,
it matches the . as well as any other character, but other characters can follow the *.
Thus a wildcard of *br* will match any files containing the letters "br", e.g.
brxyz.txt, abr.txt, abc.dbr.

The specification of \WINDOWS\COOKIES\*.* above means "match all files in the
subdirectory \WINDOWS\COOKIES which have an extension. To match all files with or
without an extension, \WINDOWS\COOKIES\* should be used.

Short file names should be used in exclusion files.

Files specified before the first [Partition: x] heading will be used to match files
in any directory.

A directory of * matches any subdirectory, regardless of nesting. The above exclusion
file will match any file with an extension of .1 in any subdirectory on the second
partition. Apart from this, wildcards should be used for files, not for directories.
