1 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY NORTON GHOST 10.0   December 11, 2006
 9 out of 11 found this review helpful

In earlier version of Ghost, you could create a bootable floppy and run a standalone backup. That allowed you make a "forensic" quality backup of a hard drive to CD-R, DVD-R, a ghost image on another drive, or a disk-to-disk backup. It even let you change the partition sizes during a restore. In Ghost 10.0, you no longer have a standalone backup capability.

I purchased Ghost 10.0 so I could back up a Linux system. Symantec's literature claims that you can back up Linux ext2 and ext3 file systems using Ghost. When I discovered that you cannot do this without first installing Windows, I called customer support. By the way, you have to have a Visa card in hand to talk to someone in customer support. They confirmed that the only way to back up a Linux system is to install Windows, then install Ghost inside of Windows. Duh! Oh, and Ghost 10.0 only runs on Windows XP and 2000.

Why not provide backup capability from the bootable CD-ROM? It appears to me that the purpose of forcing you to install the product in Windows is so they can enforce their Product Key licensing scheme. You can only use the product key on a single Windows installation. Once you use the key, you cannot reinstall it on another system. If you don't activate the product, you can't do backups. It appears to me that Symantec spent more time and effort on anti-piracy than they spent on improving the product. In my opinion, they removed the most useful feature in Ghost, bar none, when they took away the ability to create a bootable floppy allowing you to run standalone backup.

I will never buy another Symantec product in my life. In fact, I plan to actively discourage others from doing so.
