This article will explain in detail what ghost means. The editor thinks it is very practical, so I share it with you as a reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article.

Ghost refers to the version that is mirrored and cloned in the installed operating system through the gjost software developed by Symantec. Ghost is usually used for the backup of the operating system and for recovery when the system cannot be started normally.

Ghost system refers to the version that is mirrored and cloned in the installed operating system through the gjost software developed by Symantec (Symantec Corporation). Ghost is usually used for operating system backup and recovery when the system can not be started normally.

Features:

Catastrophic recovery of the system. When there is a system failure or collapse disaster, the whole system can be quickly restored by using the pre-made system hard disk image file, and the system will be restored to the state before the failure, thus greatly shortening the time required for system disaster recovery.

The ghost system supports network replication and cloning. For large computer rooms or Internet cafes, it will be very laborious and time-consuming to reinstall the system or update data on dozens or hundreds of machines. Ghost can solve this problem. First install a standard computer system, then use ghost to make the hard disk image file of the standard computer, and then use the standard image file to install other computers, this method can greatly reduce the time required for installation and upgrade.

Installation is ultra-simple and time-saving, and it has spread widely among people such as network managers and installers. As long as you "restore" it with ghost, the software, drivers and patches will be complete.

The basic method of ghost work is different from other backup software. it operates a partition of the hard disk or the whole hard disk as an object, and can completely copy the object (including the hard disk partition information of the object, the guide area information of the operating system, etc.), and pack and compress it into an image file (IMAGE). When needed, you can restore the image file to the corresponding partition or the corresponding hard disk. What we use more is the partition backup function, which can compress and back up one partition of the hard disk into an image file, and then store it in another partition hard disk. In case there is a problem with the original partition, you can copy the spare image file back to or restore the partition to normal. Based on this, we can use ghost to back up and fully restore the system.
