After the Symantec acquisition, a few functions (such as translation into other languages) were moved elsewhere, but the main development remained in Auckland until October 2009 at which time much was moved to India. [ ] Technologies developed by 20/20 Software were integrated into Ghost after their acquisition by Symantec in April 2000. Ghost 3.1 [ ] The first versions of Ghost supported only the cloning of entire disks.
However, version 3.1, released in 1997 supports cloning individual. Ghost could clone a disk or partition to another disk or partition or to an image file. Ghost allows 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. Ghost 4.0 and 4.1 [ ] Version 4.0 of Ghost added technology, following the lead of a competitor,. Multicasting supports sending a single 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 program which supports browsing the contents of an image file and extract individual files from it.
