Norton Ghost 9.0 - Disk Imaging Solution review:2 stars (If you truely value your data, consider another more dependable product.) - I have been performing system backups with Ghost 9.0 for over a year now, with no problems. Recently, my system disk crashed twice in a matter of a month. The first time I spent four days getting everything to work again using Ghost restore. Barely got it. The second time I was not so fortunate. I am seeking another means of data backup. This version is half of what the previous versions were.
PROS:
Nice, easy interface. Backup data without rebooting or shutting down.
CONS:
Resource intensive! The snapshot feature that allows you to backup while you "work" is a resource hog, whether you are doing backups or not. It has proven unreliable for me, overall, mainly due to poor restoration features. Backs up great! But if you want to restore... uh, sorry!
And of course, Norton's support is sub-par. Hope you can surf support websites well and speak Indian.

Don't buy it. Give your money to another company that put some real thought into their product, and supports it. Or use an earlier version.1 stars (Norton Ghost a Bust) - I have a shared drive on a small network running XP. Ghost is an old DOS program which doesn't like shared drives, doesn't like networks and doesn't like XP. Strongly recommend purchasing something else for this application.

P.H.Woods1 stars (Absolutely worthless) - I've been happy with Norton Internet Security for years. When the hard drive in my two year old Dell Dimenstion started making occasional "retry" noises, I decided it was time to transfer everything to a new drive. I spent an entire day trying to get Norton Ghost 9 to work. The disk copy would complete sucessfully, but the new drive would not boot. Then I started reading these reviews and found that I was not alone. Based on the recommendations in these reviews, I downloaded the 15 day trial version of True Image 8.0 from Acronis. It worked perfectly. Norton should be ashamed of taking advantage of their good name to sell this software. There is a bright side though. Norton has a 60 day money back guarantee. All you have to do is send in the original disk and your receipt to get a refund.
