Speaking of hard disk or partition backup, then you must have a famous Ghost.

Ghost for Fast Recovery System

Maybe you will crash the system after installing a certain software, or you will find that the speed has dropped a lot after running for a long time. Your best solution at this time is to reinstall the system. However, installing the system is really a headache, and it doesn't matter that a Windows takes a long time to get it. After installing the system, you need to add various hardware drivers, install your own tools, and have some pastimes. Games and the like, so that you will not end without a day's effort. Do you want to quickly restore your system to its original state within 10 minutes? Then take a look at this legendary Ghost.

Use


backups using Ghost 6.0 for backup partition, when a total of three ways. In this section introduces:

1, partition backup

after "Local" list click menu option in the lower left, Three sub-items pop up: "Disk" (backup of the entire hard disk), "Partition" (backup to the partition), and "Check" (check the backup file). Since the partition is backed up, you have to select the "Partition" option, and then there are three options to pop up, where "To Partition" is to copy a partition completely into another partition; "To Image" can make the partition as An image file is stored; "From Image" is the operation of restoring the image file, so you choose "To Image" to make the image file. The interface that appears at this time is the selection window of the current hard disk. If you only install one hard disk, the interface will jump directly to the partition selection. After selecting the partition you want to back up, type the path and file name of the image file.

Next, the system will ask you which method to use No (uncompressed), Fast (high) or High (high compression ratio). In general, Fast generates an image file. It takes the least amount of time, and High saves the partition after it has been compressed, so it can save you a lot of hard drives. It is recommended that you work in High mode. After a while, the image file of a hard disk partition is saved.

2, hard disk backup

This backup method is to completely copy the entire hard disk to another hard disk, which is to install multiple computers It will be very troublesome. When using, select the "Local\\Disk\\To Disk" command in the menu, and then determine the second target hard disk. At this point, you can partition, format, etc. the target disk, so you can start the hard disk backup work directly after purchasing a new hard disk. Finally, click the "Yes" button to start the backup.

3, backup between networks

This feature is not unique to the 6.0 version, but this feature can make the same A backup operation is performed between two computers inside a network. When using, you need to select "Master" and "Slave". If you need to back up the contents of your hard disk to other computers, you should select "Master" and then there will be a list. After the menu appears and the machine name of the other party is determined, you can quickly back up the network as fast as the steps described above.

Recovery use

After backing up the partition, once the system crashes, you can quickly restore the entire system through Ghost. At this time, you need to select the "Local\\Partition\\From Image" command, then select the file name to be restored and the partition of the restored hard disk in the pop-up window, and finally press the "Yes" button to proceed. All this is the reverse of the above backup, so it will be detailed here.

Notes

However, when using Ghost backup and restore, there are some things that need everyone's attention:

1, in the use of Ghost Before backing up, it is best to clean up the useless junk files in the system and perform defragmentation of the disk. This will result in the smallest backup file and the cleanest system after recovery.

2, which needs to remind everyone that the "Check" option can be used to view the hard disk or the backup file that has been generated to see if it may be caused by partition, hard disk damage, etc. It is the failure of system recovery.

3, it is best not to put the Ghost running program in the partition that needs to be backed up, because sometimes there will be cases where it cannot be backed up.

4, when using the "hard disk backup" mode, you must ensure that the target disk size is at least the same as the source disk capacity, otherwise it will cause replication errors. And the files backed up in this mode cannot be larger than 2G.

5, backup and restore process according to the size of the source disk /source partition (or image file), machine configuration (mainly CPU and memory) have different time, but generally It can be done in about 20 minutes.

Compared with the old version of Ghost, there are a lot of new things in the new version of Options. In the original version, there are only a few words for you to choose, and now the interface is in Windows. The popular label is obviously much better in effect, and the content is more substantial.
