Symantec GHOST IMAGING FOUNDATION 7.1, Руководство пользователя, Страница: 38 / 189

If you started spanning onto a JAZ disk and want to span a 3.0 GB drive onto JAZ
disks, you can choose to continue on JAZ disks. If you want to span across different
forms of media, you can select a different type once the first portion of the span
has completed. You cannot mix CD/DVD media with other types of media, such
as JAZ or hard disk.
Note:
You must record where the span segments are saved and the segment file
names. Symantec Ghost does not record the locations and file names you selected.
Information about the partitions is stored at the start of the image file. This is
updated at the end of the Ghost process, which might require you to reinsert the
first disk in the span set. Symantec Ghost prompts you for the first disk in the
span set and for subsequent volumes when restoring from an image.
Restoring from a spanned image
The process when restoring a disk or partition from a spanned image file is the
same as restoring from an unspanned image file. However, during the restoration
of the spanned image file, you are prompted for the locations of the image file
spans. You must know the span segment locations and file names.
You can continue on the same form of media. For example, if you originally
spanned onto a JAZ disk and want to restore a 3.0 GB drive from JAZ disks, you
can replace the disk and continue from JAZ disks. Alternatively, you can restore
from different media types.
Symantec Ghost automatically restores spanned images without prompting if it
can find the next span.
Image files and tape drives
This section applies only to DOS/Windows Ghost. The Linux version of Ghost
does not support direct writing to tape drives.
Ghost support of tape drives allows the storage of a single image file on a tape.
When the image is written to the tape, Ghost.exe uses no associated file system,
which means that you cannot access the tape from a drive letter as if it were
another storage drive. Ghost does not support spanning to multiple tapes.
When you use tape drives with Ghost.exe, you can select the tape drive as the
source or destination device in the File Locator window. Each tape device is shown
as MTx, where x is a number starting at 0 and increasing incrementally for each
drive present.
