The gho image file cannot be found after the ghost backup, but the hard disk space is reduced for no reason. this problem has plagued me for a long time. I don't know the solution. I only know that this problem occurs when I back up an image to an NTFS hard disk.
Finally, I found the relevant information on the Internet:
After the ghost is successfully backed up, press CTRL + ALT + DEL to exit the ghost without pressing quit. After the restart, The gho cannot be found.
Root cause of the problem: ghost has a compatibility problem in NTFS.
Specific performance:
1. If the hard disk format is NTFS, whether it is 8.3 or 8.2, after the backup is successful, if you do not press quit to exit, press CTRL + ALT + DEL to exit, the backup file is lost, but the space is occupied for no reason.
2. in FAT32 format, no matter how you exit after the backup, there will be no file loss.
We recommend that you log out of the NTFS format in the future during Backup.
Run the chkdsk drive letter:/F to retrieve the gho file.
