Ghost 8 (2003)
Jun 18^th, 2006 at 5:35pm

I've just changed from Ghost (2002) to Ghost 8 (2003) because it can handle NTFS partitions and large image sizes better. The old ghost just created one file -- .gho -- but I've just noticed that Ghost 8 creates a .gho file and (in my case) 3 .ghs files. If I want to clone the image back do I just choose the .gho file -- and does it grab these other files -- or what?

Yes! And yes!

Maximum image size will be approx. 2 GB--a DOS file size limit.

I keep my Ghost *image file sets* that belong together in a separate subdirectory so there is no chance of similarly named files overwriting already existing files.

I use the day-month as the subdirectory for an image + the Ghost image file names:

So for today, the image subdirectory would be:

0618

and the Ghost image file name would be:

0618.gho

and the spanned Ghost image file names would be:

06180001.ghs
06180002.ghs
06180003.ghs

"... Well, let's see--a Corporate Ghost license runs about $40 each with a minimum of 10 licenses

(Purchase License)

--maybe we could get together and send Rad $40 each--and if we can find 10 folks to go along--Rad could purchase the 10 licenses and then distribute the copies to the 10 investors..."

Maybe now is the time:
