Easy and Reliable Backup / Recovery Tool,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Norton Ghost 12.0 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)
I am using Norton Ghost on my Windows Vista machine with an external Seagate Hard Drive. Ghost is very easy to setup, and it walks you through doing a backup, so even the newbie pc users can backup their files easily. My initial concern was being able to search through the backups for a specific file but they have made that very simple and really fast in my opinion. As a seasoned IT guy, I didn't know if Ghost was really for me since I used to think of it more in terms with "imaging". However, Ghost 12 is the best solution I found for day to day backup of my home and business computers. You can setup automated backups so that every week, day, Monday, etc... the system will automatically do a backup without user intervention. I have tested the restore methods, and not only are they reliable, but they are fast too. In case you try to restore a file that already exists, you will be prompted by Windows to confirm the restore, which should help prevent overwriting a good file by accident. I hope every computer user will seriously consider getting an external storage device and using a backup utility like Ghost to safeguard their entire system or at least their important files.

Ghost v12 - buyer beware,
By
This review is from: Norton Ghost 12.0 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)
Being a long time Ghost user, I bought a copy of Ghost v12. Install was easy, but during the first use it caused the computer (XP with all patches/service packs) to freeze. AND it results in a machine that would NOT boot to the desktop, apparently messing up the registry to the point that after entering the password it brought me to a plain blue screen with NO icons or anyway to do anything. A registry restore fixed this, and being a glutton for punishment, I rebooted several times to be sure everything was working well, then re-installed Ghost, only to have the same problem occur.
Bottom line, if it works for you, great. But be aware that it can cripple your computer. I returned it to Symantec for a refund and got a trial of Acronis TrueImage v10, and Acronis installed and worked without any issues John

Does not clone,
This review is from: Norton Ghost 12.0 [OLD VERSION] (CD-ROM)
I used to like Ghost because it clones well when upgrading hard drives. I bought the version 12 and expected it to work well, but it failed to clone my hard drives in 3 computers. It always stoped at 99% and failed. Do not purchase this software unless you test this function. I had to use Acronis' True image to get the job done without any problem.
