Manufacturer's Description
Norton Ghost 14.0 protects PCs-including all applications, settings, folders, and files-with advanced backup and recovery. It provides powerful protection with new features such as offsite backups and Symantec ThreatCon integration, as well as enhanced performance, one-to-one remote management, LightsOut Restore capability, and more. With Norton Ghost 14.0, you have a choice of backup types: full system (disk image) or specific files and folders. Backups include encryption and error checking to help keep your data safe, while compression, incremental backups, and automatic backup file management minimize storage space. Plus, you can now copy recovery points to a FTP site for easier offsite backup management. Norton Ghost 14.0 is ready whenever you need to recover, whether that involves restoring individual files or an entire system. The Software Recovery Disk allows you to start your computer, scan for viruses or hard disk errors, and start the recovery process even if your operating system won't start. With the advanced tools included in Norton Ghost 14.0, you can take data protection to the next level. One-to-one remote management backs up other computers on your network that have Norton Ghost 12.0 or higher installed, and LightsOut Restore lets you install the Software Recovery Environment on your hard disk so you'll always be ready to recover. And now you can also take advantage of up-to-the-minute intelligence from Symantec's industry-leading Internet security research organization by having your backups automatically triggered whenever ThreatCon reaches a specified threat level.
Customer Reviews
Ghost problem is FAT32
The problems that people are having with this Software is the way that it tries to make the image of your Hard drive, the default settings for this version of Ghost is it tries to do it all in one big chunk. Which is where it fails if peoples External Hard Drives are Fat32 File System, as it will save only 4Gb Clusters at a time, which was ok for earlier versions of Ghost, but as i found to my cost it isn't ok for this version.
I found this out after a lengthy on line chat with Symantec technical Support, i also asked them as to why there isn't information on this in the product packaging, because if it was then people wouldn't be giving it such negative feedback, they said they'd pass the feedback on.
So basically all you need to do to get round the problems with this software is to convert your external HDD to NTFS File System. by using the command prompt. Don't forget to do this in Windows Vista you need to Right Click Command Prompt icon and Select Run As Administrator or it won't work.
Hope this helps.
Ghost saved my rig from the brink!
The ghost saved my Vista64 rig and all the blonde hairs on my frustrated head. After suffering a nightmare weekend with non-functioning ATI display drivers, downloading dodgy "fix" tools & patches that caused more problems than they were worth, my pc was fast approaching unworkable. All was nearly lost, I even contemplated reinstalling Vista, then I remembered I was using Norton Ghost. I looked at the backups and one was made 16 days prior. Ghost works in the background and periodically can backup your main drive, or whatever else you choose. Using the recovery disc it was a breeze and the end result was my pc as it was 16 days previous. Flawless. Took only 18 minutes.
Absolutely essential. I will never, EVER knock Norton Ghost.
Disappointed
I purchased Ghost 14.0 specifically to take a complete backup of my new Vista machine, to enable me to restore it to 'as new' condition in future. Although Ghost installed OK, I have not been able to make any backup at all, getting the same error message each time.
I've spent some hours in online chats with Symantec support, including a considerable amount of time in queues waiting to speak to an analyst. When I did manage to speak to an analyst, I was passed to a further 2, before the last analyst finally admitted that they were not Ghost trained.
Failing to receive a promised call from a technician, I was forced to call the US for technical support, possibly costing more than I paid for the product! After 2 hours of an analyst taking control of my machine, Ghost still wasn't working.
I'm still waiting for the promised return call from a technician with a fix.
So, I'm asking for my money back, to try Acronis instead!
