Version 4.0 of Ghost added multicast technology, following the lead of a competitor, ImageCast. 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 could clone a disk or partition to another disk or partition or to an image file. However, version 3.1, released in 1997 supports cloning individual partitions.
The first versions of Ghost supported only the cloning of entire disks.
