GHOST can mount a backup volume to recover individual files. This provides an environment to perform offline system recovery or image creation. This can be accomplished by creating an ISO (to burn to a DVD) or a USB bootable disk, installed to a client as an automation folder or delivered by a PXE server.
Its capture and deployment environment requires booting to a Windows PE environment.
GHOST is marketed as an OS deployment solution. The backup and recovery functionality was replaced by Symantec System Recovery (SSR).īroadcom acquired Symantec's Enterprise Security business in 2019. The technology was acquired in 1998 by Symantec.

Until it was removed, the Symantec Ghost Web page invited Ghost customers to try Symantec System Recovery, described as software for backup and disaster recovery. Support via chat and knowledge base was available until June 30, 2014. Norton Ghost was discontinued on April 30, 2013. In 1998, Ghost 4.1 supports password-protected images. The additional memory available allows Ghost to provide several levels of compression for images, and to provide the file browser. Version 4.0 also moved from real-modeDOS to 286protected mode. Ghost Explorer could work with images from older versions but only slowly version 4 images contain indexes to find files rapidly. Until 2007, Ghost Explorer could not edit NTFS images. Explorer was subsequently enhanced to support adding and deleting files in an image with FAT, and later with ext2, ext3 and NTFSfile systems. This version also introduced Ghost Explorer, a Windows program which supports browsing the contents of an image file and extract individual files from it. Multicasting supports 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. Version 4.0 of Ghost added multicast technology, following the lead of a competitor, ImageCast.
