How to use Ghost Backup and Recovery system

How do I back up and restore the system? Using Ghost is very convenient, at the same time almost every system disk will use Ghost, so very convenient.

First, preparatory work
after the system is installed, the system will be backed up in time, safekeeping, after the recovery of 35 minutes to complete, but also you a new complete system.
1, download Ghost program, unpack to the non-system disk, build a folder, such as in the E-disk to establish a folder ghost, the Ghost program and backup files under the same folder, in order to find and operate in the future.

2, Ghost is a well-known backup tool, backup system disk to operate in DOS, the easy way is to install the virtual floppy boot download address or Maxdos download address, or Dwarf dos toolbox download address, constitute a dual-boot system. Use of virtual boot floppy disk see virtual Boot floppy use method.

3, System optimization. See System optimization speed, System optimization settings, XP system service startup item optimization settings

4, to the system to do the necessary cleaning, delete system garbage. See System Cleanup

Second, system partition backup
1, restart the choice to enter the DOS system, go to the backup disk (enter the command "E:" Hit Return), into the backup directory (enter the command "CD GHOST" hit Return), run the GHOST program (Enter the command "GHOST" hit Enter) can start the GHOST process Order, OK Press Enter and then enter the image below, press the cursor key, select the local →partition (partition) →to image (generate image file) item (see Figure 1), this step can not be mistaken, the alignment from the top down the selection order is 1-2-2.

2, screen display the hard Disk selection screen, select the partition on the hard disk "1", if you have only one hard drive, you can directly press ENTER.

3, choose to make a mirrored file partition (that is, the source partition), where the upper and lower keys to select the Partition "1" (that is, C partition), and then press the TAB key to switch to the "OK" button, and then press ENTER.

4, select the location of the image file saved, at this point, press the "Shift+tab" key can be cut back to select the partition of the Drop-down menu, press the key to select the partition, such as "1:2" means that the first hard disk of the second partition, that is, "D" disk, select the partition, and then press Tab to the file selection area, Use the top and bottom keys to select a folder, you can press the TAB key, and then click to the FileName text box to type the name of the mirror file, such as "XP" or "C_bak." GHO ", and then press ENTER.
Idea : We recommend that in the backup before the partition in the Ghost folder, the Ghost program and backup files together, from the Ghost directory to start the Ghost program, so directly back to the mirrored backup Ghost directory, Just fill in the backup file name and press ENTER.

5, the next Norton Ghost will ask you if you need to compress the image file, here can only use the left and right keys to choose, "No" means no compression; "Fast" means to do a small proportion of compression but backup work faster execution; "High" is a higher compression ratio but the backup speed is relatively slow. Generally choose "High", although the speed is slightly slow, but the image files occupied by the hard disk space will be greatly reduced (the actual will not be much slower), fast recovery.

6, all this preparation work is done, Ghost will ask you whether to do the operation, of course, choose "Yes", press ENTER, start to make a mirror file for you. Backup speed and CPU frequency and content capacity have a lot of relationship, generally within 10 minutes can be completed.
When the progress bar goes to 100%, it means that the backup system is finished, and you can really connect to the reboot button or Ctrl+alt+del of the chassis without exiting the Ghost or DOS system.

Through the above work, we have made a C-disk backup, in the system will not solve the problem, we can easily recover the system.

Third, system backup restore
1, reboot SELECT into the DOS system, go to the backup disk, into the backup directory, run the Ghost program, select Local→partition→from Image (Note this is "from Image" item), restore to the system disk. The selection order from the top down number is 1-2-3 and reset after completion.

2, select the location of the image file saved, at this point, press the "Shift+tab" key can be cut back to select the partition of the Drop-down menu, press the key to select the partition, such as "1:2" means that the first hard disk of the second partition, that is, "D" disk, select the partition, and then press Tab to the file selection area, Use the up and down keys to select folders, enter the appropriate folder with a carriage return and select the source file, that is, *.gho file, and press ENTER.
if you are starting the Ghost program from the Ghost directory, you can see the ghost backup file directly in the directory. Move the cursor selection.

3, the legend at this point means that the source file you selected is a primary partition of the mirror file, do not bother, directly press ENTER.

4, at this time the legend means that you choose the hard drive, if you have only one hard drive, you can also ignore, directly to the painting.

5, at this point, the meaning of the legend is to restore the mirror file to which partition, we have a disk of C-disk operation, so choose primary, that is, the main partition C disk meaning.

6, after all the selection is completed, Ghost will still ask you to confirm whether the operation, of course, we have to select "Yes", enter.
Wait until the progress bar to go through 100%, mirror even if the restoration of success, at this time, directly select Ghost Given the option "restart Compter" can be restarted.

Iv. compiling batch processing documents to create automatic system backup and restore

For example, under the E disk under the Bak folder set up Ghost folder, store a GHOST.EXE program,

E:bakghostghost.exe-clone,mode=pdump,src=1:1,dst=e:bakghostbac.gho-fx-sure-rb
Open Notepad, copy the previous line save exit, renamed to Bf.bat.

E:bakghostghost.exe-clone,mode=pload,src=e:bakghostbac.gho:1,dst=1:1-SURE-RB

Open Notepad, copy the previous line save exit, renamed to Hf.bat.
put these two files under the Ghost directory. This way into the DOS, hit the BF return to start Ghost Backup, hit HF can be restored system operation, is a customized two key ghost bar.

 

Description: Pdump meaning for backup, SRC is the source disk, 1:1 the first hard drive the first partition is the C disk, DST is the target disk,e:bakghostbac.gho     For the storage path e disk bakghost directory file name Bac.gho, you can according to their own needs here to make changes to store the path and file name,-FX for the completion of the direct return to DOS, pload means partition to partition recovery,-sure for if there is a file directly covered with the same name, -RB the system to reboot after the restore or replication is complete. So dos under the Ghost directory input batch file name can be automatically backup and restore.
