Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Is there any tool similar to norton ghost? Post 302460361 by Lakris on Wednesday 6th of October 2010 02:54:50 PM

Hi,
dd is a tool to basically write the contents of a device, such as a hard disk, byte for byte to a file. And it must be an inactive device (read-only or not mounted at all). And the resulting file must be located on another device. It is by it's design slow in the sense that it doesn't care if the byte is used in a file or not. It doesn't care about file systems, unused space or compression. And it must be restored to a device identical in size (and possibly larger).

The free software closest to ghost and similar that I have seen is g4u, g4u - Harddisk Image Cloning for PCs, and Clonezilla, Clonezilla.

I would recommend You to have a look at them.

Best regards

Gtk2::ImageView::Tool(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				Gtk2::ImageView::Tool(3pm)

NAME
Gtk2::ImageView::Tool - Interface for objects capable of being used as tools by Gtk2::ImageView DESCRIPTION
Gtk2::ImageView::Tool is an interface that defines how Gtk2::ImageView interacts with objects that acts as tools. Gtk2::ImageView delegates many of its most important tasks (such as drawing) to its tool which carries out all the hard work. The Gtk2::ImageView package comes with two tools; Gtk2::ImageView::Tool::Dragger and Gtk2::ImageView::Tool::Selector, but by implementing your own tool it is possible to extend Gtk2::ImageView to do stuff its author didn't imagine. Gtk2::ImageView uses Gtk2::ImageView::Tool::Dragger by default, as that tool is he most generally useful one. However, it is trivial to make it use another tool. my $view = Gtk2::ImageView->new; my $tool = Gtk2::ImageView::Tool::Selector ($view); $view->set_tool ($tool); Using the above code makes the view use the selector tool instead of the default dragger tool. HIERARCHY
Glib::Interface +----Gtk2::ImageView::Tool METHODS
boolean = $tool->button_press ($ev) o $ev (Gtk2::Gdk::Event) boolean = $tool->button_release ($ev) o $ev (Gtk2::Gdk::Event) cursor = $tool->cursor_at_point ($x, $y) o $x (integer) o $y (integer) Returns the cursor to display at the given coordinates. boolean = $tool->motion_notify ($ev) o $ev (Gtk2::Gdk::Event) $tool->paint_image ($opts, $drawable) o $opts (Gtk2::Gdk::Pixbuf::Draw::Opts) o $drawable (Gtk2::Gdk::Drawable) Called whenever the image view decides that any part of the image it shows needs to be redrawn. $tool->pixbuf_changed ($reset_fit, $rect) o $reset_fit (boolean) o $rect (Gtk2::Gdk::Rectangle) Indicate to the tool that either a part of, or the whole pixbuf that the image view shows has changed. This method is called by the view whenever its pixbuf or its tool changes. That is, when any of the following methods are used: Gtk2::ImageView::set_pixbuf() Gtk2::ImageView::set_tool() Gtk2::ImageView::damage_pixels() If the reset_fit parameter is TRUE, it means that a new pixbuf has been loaded into the view. tool : the tool reset_fit : whether the view is resetting its fit mode or not rect : rectangle containing the changed area or NULL SEE ALSO
