 Bad news on this one August 5, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This software made a backup to my USB drive but then it would not restore because I had no restore disk. Symantec you should warn customers that backup does no good unless you have a restore disk. A dialog box that says your backup is useless would be nice. Instead I had a "green light" saying my drive was safely backed up. This product is hard to operate and is not portable. You can't boot in 16 bit subsystem with generic drivers. The software is a complete .NET rewrite and bears no resemblance to earlier forms of Ghost like version 8. Try to find an old copy of version 8 or buy something else. $75 dollars out-of-pocket and you can use it on one machine if you're lucky.
Extermely Difficult to use August 1, 2008
Unless you are very computer knowledegable and experienced, I would not recommend this product for you. The level of difficulty in using is very high and I am a certified computer technican with years of experience. Poor User manual. Also after installing on Vista I was immediately confronted with a Ghost Status window showing I needed to create a Recovery Point and no suggested default location for this. When attempted to create on DVD disk it would reach 17% and never finish. Took help on two different days using Norton live online chat to fix.

Since I have been using Norton products for years, it was a natural for me to select Ghost as my personal backup facility. It is easy to use and wonderfully powerful and complete. I cannot think of another product that I have used in the past that has the ease of use and the features available for the right price.
NGH 14 Provides Very Effective Backup for Vista x64 July 23, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've been using Norton Ghost for may years and it keeps getting better. Running Windows Vista x64 has been challenging. Version 12 had the annoying habit of disabling my backups and occasionally causing my non-boot drive to be set to read only. Version 14 has solved those problems and runs smoothly and reliably with minimal impact on my work. The recovery point browser is very effective for recovering a specific version of a file. The ability to convert a disk image to a virtual machine image was particularly useful when I upgraded to Vista as it allowed me to continue running my old system concurrently on the same PC.
 Who Needs It? July 18, 2008

I wonder who really needs this product. It is way too complicated to install. Restoration is not flawless by any means, i.e. you cannot count on it working when you really need it working. So, for backup of user files I will just use a simple script with xcopy, and for system restoration go through the complete reinstall: it will guarantee that everything is fine the way it should be.
