Default tape mode. Sets the ASPI driver to report a read/write as successful as soon as the
data has been transferred to memory. Useful when using older or unreliable tape devices
or sequential media.
-tapebuffered
Forces Symantec Ghost to eject the tape following a tape operation. If the tape drive does
not support remote ejection, you must eject and insert the tape manually before further
use. Earlier versions ejected the tape by default. By default, Symantec Ghost does not eject
the tape. It rewinds the tape before exiting to DOS.
-tapeeject
Specifies the tape block size in units of 512 bytes, where x is a number between 1 and 128.
-tapebsize=x
Allows control of tape speed, where x is 0 to F. 0 is the default. 1 to F increases tape speed.
Only use this when the tape does not work correctly at the speed used by Symantec Ghost.
-tapespeed=x
Sets the ASPI driver to report a read/write as successful only when the data has been
transferred to the tape drive. This can occur before the data is physically written to the
medium.
-tapeunbuffered
The TCP/IP master mode switch causes Symantec Ghost to go into TCP/IP master mode
automatically and is the equivalent of selecting TCP/IP Master from the main menu. The
IP address of the slave computer may be specified.
-tcpm[:slave IP
address]
The TCP/IP slave mode switch causes Symantec Ghost to go into TCP/IP slave mode
automatically and is the equivalent of selecting TCP/IP Slave from the main menu.
-tcps
After a failed restore, do not preserve the image file that was used on the failed restore.
-unpreserveimage
The USB master mode switch causes Symantec Ghost to go into USB master mode
automatically and is the equivalent of selecting USB Master from the main menu.
-usbm
The -usbs switch causes Symantec Ghost to go into USB slave mode automatically and is
the equivalent of selecting USB Slave from the main menu.
-usbs
If the -vdw switch is set, Symantec Ghost uses the disk's verify command to check every
sector on the disk before it is written. This option may slow Symantec Ghost operation
substantially.
-vdw
Shows the version number of Symantec Ghost.
-ver
When creating a virtual disk (the virtual disk is the destination of the clone), this switch
specifies the type of vmdk disk to create.
The valid values are:
■
sparse
■
flat
-vmdkType=val
When creating a virtual disk (the virtual disk is the destination of the clone), this switch
specifies the vmdk should be split into 2GB maximum extent size.
-vmdkSplit
