Symantec GHOST IMAGING FOUNDATION 7.1 - V1.0 Manual page 133

-align = chs Lets you override the way in which the partitions are aligned when an individual partition
or disk full of partitions is restored. This switch aligns the partition to the boundary as
-align = 1mb
follows:
By default, a partition is aligned on the destination computer as it was on the source
computer.
Note:
-auto Automatically names spanned image files during creation. Using this switch avoids the
user prompt that asks for confirmation of the next destination location for the remainder
of the image file that is being restored.
This switch is the default behavior for Symantec Ghost.
-batch Batch mode switch. Prevents abort messages from waiting for user acknowledgment and
removes user interaction prompts. The return value of Ghost.exe must be checked to identify
whether the operation was successful. Symantec Ghost returns 0 on success and 1 or higher
on failure or error.
See
-bfc Handles bad FAT clusters when writing to disk. If this switch is set and the target partition
is FAT, Symantec Ghost checks for and works around bad sectors, and all free sectors are
verified.
This option may slow Symantec Ghost operation substantially.
-blind Prevents any GUI display. The blind switch must be used with switches that do not require
any user input, for example, the clone switch. Using this switch lets you execute Ghost
operations on a computer with no video adapter.
-bootcd When writing an image directly to a CD/DVD writer, makes the CD/DVD bootable. You need
a bootable floppy disk in drive A. If you use the -sure switch with -bootcd and a floppy disk
is not in drive A, then a non-bootable CD/DVD is created.
-buffersize=x Ghost creates an image file using a buffer of size x where x = number of KB. The default
size of the buffer is automatically calculated by Symantec Ghost. The buffersize switch lets
you override this size. You can set the buffer size value from 1 to 32.
-chkimg,filename Checks the integrity of the image file indicated by filename.
-clone Ghost.exe operation switch. This switch allows automation of Ghost.exe operations and
has a series of arguments that define the operation parameters.
