Perkembangan Norton Ghost
[edit] Ghost 3.1
The first versions of Ghost supported only the cloning of entire disks, however version 3.1 in 1997 allowed the cloning of individual partitions. Ghost could clone a disk or partition to another disk or partition or to an image file. Ghost allowed for writing a clone or image to a second disk in the same machine, another machine linked by a parallel or network cable, a network drive, or to a tape drive.
[edit] Ghost 4.0 and 4.1
Version 4.0 of Ghost added multicast technology, following the lead of a competitor, ImageCast. Multicasting allows sending a single backup image simultaneously to other machines without putting greater stress on the network than by sending an image to a single machine. This version also introduced Ghost Explorer, a Windows program which allowed a user to browse the contents of an image file and extract individual files from it. Explorer was subsequently enhanced to allow users to add and delete files on FAT, later on ext2, ext3 and NTFS filesystems in an image. Until 2007, Ghost Explorer could extract files from NTFS images but not edit NTFS images. Ghost Explorer could work with images from older versions but only slowly; version 4 images contained indexes to find files rapidly. Version 4.0 also moved from real-mode DOS to 286 protected-mode. The additional memory available allowed Ghost to provide several levels of compression for images, and to provide the file browser. In 1998, Ghost 4.1 allowed for password-protected images.
[edit] Ghost 5.0
Version 5.0 moved to 386 protected mode. Unlike the character-based user interface of earlier versions, 5.0 used a GUI. The Binary Research logo, two stars revolving around each other, played on the main screen while the program idled. In 1998 Gdisk, a script based partition manager, was integrated in Ghost. Gdisk serves a role similar to Fdisk, but has greater capabilities.
[edit] Ghost for NetWare
There was also a Norton Ghost version (called 2.0) for Novell NetWare around 1999, with supported NSS partitions (although it ran in DOS, like the others).
[edit] Ghost 6.0 (Ghost 2001)
Ghost 6.0 included a Console application in 2000 to simplify the management of large numbers of machines. The Console communicates with client software on managed computers to allow a system administrator to refresh the disk of a machine remotely.
As a DOS-based program, Ghost required machines running Windows to reboot to a DOS environment to run it. Ghost 6.0 required a separate DOS partition when used with the Console.
[edit] Ghost 7.0 / Ghost 2002
Released March 31, 2001 Norton Ghost version 7.0 (retail) was marketed as Norton Ghost 2002 Personal Edition. Help|About reveals version 7.00.
[edit] Ghost 7.5
Released December 14, 2001
Ghost 7.5 in 2002 created a 'Virtual Partition' instead - a DOS partition which actually exists as a file within a normal Windows filesystem. This significantly eased systems management. Ghost 7.5 could also write images to CD-R drives, and later versions can also write DVDs.
[edit] Ghost 8.0
Ghost 8.0 includes a standalone executable (filename: ghost32.exe) that runs directly from Windows, without the need to reboot. It is very well-suited for placement on bootable media, such as BartPE's bootable CD. The Corporate edition supports Unicast, Multicast and peer-to-peer transfers via TCP/IP. Ghost 8.0 also allows an image to be saved on, or read from, an NTFS filesystem, although NTFS is not normally accessible from a DOS program.
[edit] Norton Ghost 2003
Norton Ghost 2003, a consumer edition of Ghost, was released on September 6, 2002. Available as an independent product, Norton Ghost 2003 was also included as a component of Norton SystemWorks 2003 Professional. A simpler, non-corporate version of Ghost, Norton Ghost 2003 does not include the Console but has a Windows front-end to script Ghost operations and create a bootable Ghost diskette (third-party CD burning software can be used to create a bootable Ghost CD based on a bootable Ghost diskette). The machine still needs to reboot to the Virtual Partition, but the user doesn't need to interact with DOS. Symantec deprecated LiveUpdate support for Norton Ghost 2003 in early 2006. Two Symantec knowledge base articles (Updates to Norton Ghost 2003 How to obtain the programs updates that are archived on Symantec LiveUpdate server) provide step-by-step instructions detailing how to obtain Norton Ghost 2003 updates from the LiveUpdate Archive. As of April 24, 2008, the latest version available from the archive is 2003.793. Older versions of Norton Ghost 2003 can be also updated from a system with a newer version of Norton Ghost 2003 by copying program directory from newer to older. Reliable support for SATA drives was also provided in 2003.793.
[edit] Ghost Solution Suite 1.0 (AKA Ghost 8.2)


Symantec Ghost 8.2
In 2004, Symantec renamed the Enterprise version of Ghost to Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 1.0. This helped to clarify the difference between the consumer and business lines of the product. This was further defined in February 2006, with the Release of Norton Save And Restore (some packages are labelled Norton Backup And Restore), a standalone backup application based on Ghost 10.0.
Released November 15, 2004
[edit] Ghost Solution Suite 1.1 (Ghost 8.3)
Ghost Solution Suite 1.1 was released December 2005. Some of the new features include the ability to create an image file that is larger than 2 GB (in Ghost 8.2 or earlier versions, such image files are automatically split into two or more segments, so that each segment has a maximum size of 2 GB), more comprehensive manufacturing tools, and the ability to create a universal boot disk. Ghost Solution Suite is a bundle of an updated version of Ghost, Symantec Client Migration (a user data and settings migration tool) and the former PowerQuest equivalent, DeployCenter (using PQI images).
[edit] Ghost 9.0 (includes Ghost 2003)


A screen shot of Norton Ghost 9.0 as seen in Windows 2000
Ghost 9.0 was released August 2, 2004. It represents a significant shift in the consumer product line from Ghost 2003, in several ways:
• It uses a totally different code base, based on the DriveImage product via Symantec's acquisition of PowerQuest.
• The main product is a Windows-based application that must be installed on the target system.
• Images of the system can be made while Windows is running, rather than only when booted directly into DOS-mode Ghost.
• Incremental images (containing only changes since the last image) are supported.
• The Windows application requires Product Activation in order to function fully.
• The bootable environment on the Ghost 9 CD is only useful for recovery of existing backups - it cannot be used to create new images.
Since the DriveImage-based Ghost 9 did not support the older .gho format disk images, a separate CD containing Ghost 2003 was included in the retail packaging for users needing to access those older images.
The limitations of Ghost 9 compared to Ghost 2003 were not well communicated by Symantec, and resulted in many dissatisfied customers who purchased Ghost 9 expecting the previous version's features (like making images from the bootable Ghost environment, no installation required, and no product activation).
[edit] Ghost 10.0
Supported media CDR/RW and DVD+-R/RW drives, USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) devices, and Iomega Zip and Jaz drives. Enables the encryption of backups and support for Maxtor external drives with Maxtor OneTouch buttons. The Ghost version 10.0 are compatible with previous revisions, but not with future revisions.
[edit] Norton Save And Restore 1.0 (Ghost 10.0)
Norton Save And Restore 1.0, released February 2006, was the renamed consumer version of Ghost. The system utilized Ghost 10.0's engine, with the addition of features to allow backup and restoration of individual files.
[edit] Ghost Solution Suite 2.0 (Ghost 11.0)
Ghost Solution Suite 2.0 was released in November 2006. This version provides significant improvements in performance, as well as the ability to edit NTFS images. This version also adds support for Windows Vista, x64 versions of Windows, and GUID Partition Table (GPT)-based disks (although the software does not yet fully support systems with Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI)-compliant firmware). Running Live Update from Ghost Explorer will update Ghost to 11.0.2.1573.
[edit] Ghost 12.0
Ghost 12.0 includes Windows Vista support with an updated and more thorough user interface. It allows for a full system backup & one where individual files or folders can be selected & backed up.
This version also provides a "LightsOut Restore" feature. This restores a system with an on-disk software recovery environment, thereby allowing a recovery without a bootable CD. Upon boot-up of the computer a screen will ask which drive to boot from, the regular drive, or the LightsOut restore virtual drive.
LightsOut restore augments the ISO disk, which comes with the Ghost program, that has to be copied to a CD. This contains a recovery environment that allows one to recover files even if Windows doesn't start up, but the computer can turn on. The latest update to the program is 12.0.5.29804.
[edit] Norton Save & Restore 2.0 (Ghost 13.0)
NSR 2.0 has fewer features when compared to Norton Ghost 12. NSR 2.0 offers one-time backups, file and folder backup, simplified schedule editor, Maxtor OneTouch integration and modifiable Symantec recovery disc.
This version also supports 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows XP and Vista.
[edit] Norton Ghost 14.0


The window where you can set Norton Ghost to automatically back up a drive based upon the level of global computer based threats, as judged by Symantec's ThreatCon grading system.
Version 14.0 preserves the features of version 12.0, with the ability to make full Volume Snapshot Service (VSS) backups and the option to make remote backups to a FTP site as another storage option. Ghost also leverages data from ThreatCon, which monitors malware activity around the world, and perform incremental backups when a specific threat level is reached. However, this functions only when connected to the Internet, so it will not resist any local attack.
Other features include the ability to back up to Network-attached storage devices and supports NTFS partitions up to 16TB. Ghost can manage other installations of version 12.0 or later across a network. Version 14 supports XP and Vista. The latest version is 14.0.5.34587. This version no longer supports opening of older version .gho image files. Rather, it stores images in .v2i format. Older .gho image files can be restored using Ghost Explorer, a separate utility.

This is the current version of the enterprise software, and includes Ghost 11.5. It was released in May 2008.[3] New features include DeployAnywhere, Hot Imaging, logical volume support, additional image formats, and new PreOS (boot disk) operating systems.[4] As of 11 February 2009, the latest build from Live Update is 11.5.0.2165

Penginstallan dan penggunaan Norton Ghost
Jika Windows Anda error dan tidak bisa berjalan sebagaimana mestinya atau terkena virus yang tidak bisa dihilangkan, apa yang akan Anda lakukan? sebagian orang mungkin akan menjawab ” install ulang aja windowsnya, beres….!!!, tapi dengan menginstall ulang windows, program – program dan aplikasinya harus diinstall ulang juga, selain itu juga memerlukan waktu yang cukup lama.
Sebenarnya ada cara lain mengembalikan windows Anda seperti semula, caranya dengan memanfaatkan windows PE ( Preinstallation Environment ) dan sebuah aplikasi yang bernama Northon Ghost. windows PE ini adalah sebuah operating system yang diload dari CD, bukan dari Hardisk, seperti Windows XP atau sejenisnya. cara menggunakannya? saya akan coba jelaskan pada tulisan ini.
Awalnya jika Anda baru saja menginstall ulang windows semua driver telah terinstall aplikasi yang anda butuhkan juga telah terinstall,buat ” Ghost ” dari windows anda, caranya, masukkan Cd windows PE dan boot dari CD.
Langkah – langkah membuat Ghost dari windows Anda
1. Klik Star -> Program -> Norton Ghost -> Norton Ghost Corporate
2. Pilih Load -> Partition -> To Image
3. Pilih Harddisk dimana anda menginstall windows ( Jika terdapat lebih dari satu Hard disk )
4. Pilih Partisi dimana Anda menginstall windows
5. Pilih tempat penyimpanan file ” Ghost ” di partisi yang Anda pilih.di Harddisk eksternal juga bisa.
6. Berinama File tersebut terserah Anda. ekstensi dari file tersebut adalah GHO, misalnya H2-Plain.GHO, atau H2- Full.GHO, terserah Anda.
7. Save -> High, ( agar pengompresan partisi menjadi GHO lebih baik )
lalu Akan berjalan proses pengompresan partsisi Windows Anda seperti gambar di bawah ini :

Tunggu sampai proses tersebut selesai, lamanya tergantung besar File – file yang terdapat pada partisi Windows XP Anda, semakin besar, semakin lama tentunya, Jika telah selesai Quit, lalu restart komputer seperti biasa,. Simpan file berextensi Ghost ini karena Jika windows anda rusak atau Error, fila ini dapat dimanfaatkan. caranya dengan memanfaatkan Windows Pe dan Norton Ghost lagi.
Langkah – langkahnya sama seperti ketika membuat file “Ghost” di atas, bedaya ketika menjalankan Norton Ghost pilih Load -> partition -> From Image, pilih File “Ghost” yang dulu anda simpan, lalu pilih partisi dimana Anda menginstall Windows, maka FIle – file Ghost tersebut akan “Diekstrak” dan direstore kepartisi windows anda sehingga partisi tersebut akan kembali seperti ketika Anda membuat File “Ghost” tersebut windows anda telah terinstall driver – driver, Office, firefox, dan Yahoo Messenger. Maka ketika Anda merestore file “Ghost” tersebut, pada windows anda telah terinstall driver – driver, Office, firefox, tidak kurang tidak lebih ( jika proses pembuatan dan perestore- an file ” ghost ” berjalan sempurna ). setelah proses perestore- an selesai, restart dan Boot komputer anda dari Harddisk lagi, Insya Allah Windows Akan berjalan seperti sediakala.
Proses instalasi sistem operasi seringkali menjadi hal yang sangat menjemukan. Terutama apabila Anda termasuk orang yang risih jika instalasi OS Anda tidak stabil atau lemot. Saya dulu pernah termasuk dalam ‘golongan’ ini, dalam seminggu saya bisa install windows 2 hingga 3 kali karena beberapa instalasi game 3D yang saya mainkan sudah tamat dan harus diganti dengan yang baru
Selain karena memang ‘hobi’, terkadang Windows mengalami masalah yang tak terduga seperti serangan virus, missing file atau instalasi error. Ini bisa membuat makin sering kita ‘bermain’ dengan CD instalasi Windows. Repotnya, jika kita ga bisa berlama-lama buang-buang waktu hanya untuk install Windows plus aplikasi seabreg. Belum lagi aktivasinya.. ribet kan! Nah, daripada kita alami hal ini saya akan paparkan langkah antisipasi yang bisa Anda praktekkan. Bagi yang sudah tahu, maap kalo ada siaran ulang ya..

Untuk melakukan praktek, kita perlu program Cloning Tool. Sebenarnya banyak sekali program semacam ini yang beredar di pasaran, diantaranya Symantec/Powerquest Disk Image, Roxio GoBack, Windows System Restore, dll. Nah, kali ini kita akan ‘bermain’ dengan Program Norton Ghost 11.5 yang dapat Anda temukan dalam CD Hiren’s Boot CD 9.8. Bagi yang belum punya Hiren’s Boot CD Versi terbaru, silakan dapatkan di sini.
Norton Ghost menyediakan fungsi backup dan restore dengan mudah. Dengan bantuan Hiren’s Boot CD, Anda bisa melakukan prose backup dan restore instalasi Sistem Operasi Anda dengan mudah, praktis dan cepat. Ya, nggak secepat kilat dalam arti sebenarnya sih.. Tapi jauh lebih cepat daripada jika Anda harus menginstall Windows dari awal berikut program yang akan Anda gunakan.
Sebelumnya, persiapkan perlengkapan yang dibutuhkan sebagai berikut:
• Komputer atau Notebook target yang dilengkapi drive CD/DVD untuk menjalankan Hiren’s Boot CD. Saya sarankan minimal terdapat 2 partisi, sistem C:/ atau drive yang berisi instalasi Windows dan partisi lain untuk menyimpan image
• CD Hiren’s Boot CD 9.8 berisi Norton Ghost 11.5 atau Hiren’s Boot USB Flashdisk
• Flashdisk/keping DVD untuk menyimpan backup file image (Optional)
Prinsip kerja
Pada dasarnya, ada dua langkah yang Anda lakukan
1. Membuat backup Data Partisi PC yang berisi Sistem Operasi Windows ke dalam File Image . File ini berisi rekaman komplit file sistem operasi Anda berikut program yang telah ter-install didalamnya. File ini harus disimpan di partisi selain partisi Windows itu sendiri. Misalnya Anda punya C:/ yang bersi instalasi Windows, Anda harus menyimpan file image di partisi selain C:/. Itulah mengapa di atas saya menyarankan minimal ada 2 partisi.
Perlu saya tekankan bahwa, langkah ini mutlak diperlukan jika Anda ingin bisa melakukan langkah restorasi/pemulihan sistem dengan cepat. Dengan kata lain, tanpa adanya file Image Anda tidak bisa melakukan restorasi Windows.
2. Restorasi Windows. Jika terjadi sesuatu, anda bisa memanggil file backup yang telah Anda buat sebelumnya untuk memulihkan instalasi Windows persis seperti saat file image dibuat.
Langkah Pertama, Membuat File Image.
1. Masukkan Hiren’s Boot Flashdisk USB atau Hiren’s Boot CD sesuai dengan preferensi Anda.
2. Nyalakan komputer, masuk ke BIOS dengan menekan DEL/F2/F8/F12 sesuai dengan BIOS PC Anda.
3. Masuk ke Bagian Boot Sequence/Urutan Booting. Pastikan media yang Anda gunakan menempati urutan pertama booting. Misalnya: Anda memilih menggunakan CD Hiren’s, pastikan CDROM berada pada posisi booting pertama.
4. Pada menu Booting Hiren’s, pilih ‘Start Boot CD’
Pada Menu Utama Hiren’s, Pilih [2.] Backup Tool > [2.] Norton Ghost 11.5 > [8.]Ghost (Normal). Tunggu beberapa saat hingga program Norton Ghost
