Appendix A: Norton Ghost command-line switches
Same as previous but specify the disk, CRC file, and list file. This example
uses disk 1 as the source drive, myfile.txt as the ASCII CRC32 file, and
myfile.out as the verification list file.
To verify the contents of the primary drive against a CRC32 file:
ghostpe.exe -CRC32,action=verify,src=1,
crcfile=myfile.txt,vlist=myfile.out,vexcept=myfile.exc
Same as above with the inclusion of the EXCEPTION argument that
excludes compared files based upon its entries.
VEXCEPT
The VEXCEPT argument specifies files that are not checked with CRC. This
is normally used to exclude files that are always changed on boot. A
sample exception file follows:
[ghost exclusion list]
\PERSONAL\PHONE
[partition:1]
\WINDOWS\COOKIES\*.*
\WINDOWS\HISTORY\*
\WINDOWS\RECENT\*
\WINDOWS\USER.DAT
\WINDOWS\TEMPOR~1\CACHE1\*
\WINDOWS\TEMPOR~1\CACHE2\*
\WINDOWS\TEMPOR~1\CACHE3\*
\WINDOWS\TEMPOR~1\CACHE4\*
[partition:2]
*\*.1
[end of list]
The exclusion list is case-sensitive; all files should be specified in upper
case. The *wildcard follows Unix rule, it is more powerful than the MS-
DOS *. In particular it matches the . as well as any other character, but
other characters can follow the *. Thus a wildcard of *br* will match any
files containing the letters "br", for example, brxyz.txt, abr.txt, abc.dbr.
The specification of \WINDOWS\COOKIES\*.* in the example above
means match all files in the subdirectory \WINDOWS\COOKIES that have
an extension. To match all files with or without an extension,
WINDOWS\COOKIES\* should be used.
Short filenames should be used in exclusion files.
