Ghost Options Detailed

as a desktop IT operations personnel, often to computer system is a commonplace.
after 4 years of practice, I feel that my foundation is really poor today. Often can always use the line, the work.
do not have more than 1000 machines, today only to find that they even ghost this tool options are not understood.
The blow to yourself is really pretty big.
One, what is ghost?
Ghost Software is an excellent hard disk backup and Restore tool introduced by Symantec Corporation, which can be used for FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, OS2 and other hard disk partition format and hard disk backup and restore.  Commonly known as cloning software.
1, characteristics: Since it is called cloning software, it shows that its ghost backup restore is in the hard disk sector as a unit, that is, a hard disk can be a complete copy of the physical information, rather than simply copy the data;Ghost can clone all the things in the system, including sound animation images, and even disk fragments can help you copy. Ghost supports backing up partitions or hard disks directly into a file with a. gho extension (Symantec calls this file an image file), and supports direct backup to another partition or hard disk.
2, Run Ghost: Ghost menu appears, the main menu has 4 items, from bottom to top respectively quit (exit), Options (option), peer to peer (point pair, mainly used in the network), local (locally). In general we only use the local menu item with three subkeys under it: Disk (hard disk backup and restore), Partition (disk partition backup and restore), check (hard drive detection)
3, because ghost in the backup restore is by sector to replicate, so in the operation must be careful, do not make the target disk (partition) is wrong, or the target disk (partition) data erased, it's hard to recover

 Pre-Knowledge: recognize words
Disk: Disks
Partition: That is, the partition, in the operating system, each hard disk drive letter (after the C disk) corresponds to a partition;
Image : Mirror, image is a file format that contains the contents of a hard disk or partition, with the extension. Gho;
to: In Ghost, simply understand to is "back to" the meaning;
from: In Ghost, a simple understanding from is "from ... The meaning of "restore".

The options are detailed:
Partition Menu Introduction 
There are three sub-menus under it:
To partion: Copy a partition (called source partition) directly to another partition (target partition), note that the target partition space cannot be less than the source partition when operation;
To Image: Back up a partition as an image file, note that the partition of the image file should not be smaller than the source partition, preferably larger than the source partition;
from Image: Restores the partition from the mirrored file (restores the backed-up partition).

Full image production
Local→disk→to Image Enter, select the disk to be backed up → Select the disk to be backed up (file name is the mirror name) →do you want to compress the image file Yes→yes
Partition Image making
LOCAL→ Partition→to image, select the partition you want to back up → Select the disk (file name is the mirror name) →do you want to compress the image file Yes→yes
