compression, the slower the transmission, as follows:
■
-z or -z1: Low compression (fast transmission)
■
-z2: High compression (medium transmission)
■
-z3 through -z9: Higher compression (slower transmission)
See “Image files and volume spanning” on page 36.

Accessing files
Table B-3 lists the formats that you can use to access files.
Table B-3 Accessing file format
Example Format
c:\My Images\image.gho Drive letter
src=1:2\image.gho
In this example, Image.gho
resides on an NTFS file
system on the second
partition of the first disk.
This format cannot be used
with the -afile=filename
switch.
Disk and partition
This lets you specify an otherwise inaccessible file, for
example, a file located on a file system not recognized by
DOS, such as NTFS, or a file on a hidden partition. It
provides an alternative to using drive letters.
Using the clone switch
Some cloning switches for use in Ghost can be specified on the GhostCast Server.
