So, with help of Ghost, we can clone all the content on a disk to another, compress the whole disk and store it as an image file. This means Windows, Linux or Mac OS users can use Ghost to backup their OS caring nothing about what it is, which even allows to make a full backup for unsupported partition in the sector-to-sector method. Ghost can provide a complete backup & recovery to the OS, supports various file storage formats used in multiple operating systems (including FAT, FAT32, NTFS, OS2, HPFS, UNIX, NOVELL, EXT2, EXT3, Linux Swap, etc.). For the vast majority of advanced users like system administrator/network manager, it is used to backup the system partition (so as to minimize the time and labor spent on each reinstallation of OS furthest) or data on a disk. Ghost (short for General Hardware-Oriented System Transfer) is an excellent backup & restore tool (commonly known as cloning software) for system, data on hard disk/partition developed by the famous Symantec company from America.
