Norton Ghost 14.0 Retail CD

Ghost 14.0 leverages intelligence from Symantec’s industry-leading security research organization by triggering incremental backups whenever ThreatCon reaches a specified threat level. Great for computers without antivirus protection. Google Desktop integration makes data recovery even faster with searchable backup indexes. Ghost triggers backups based on key events such as new program installations or sudden increases in data storage, and recovers your system and data even when you can't restart the operating system. Ghost provides password-encrypted backup and lets you define the level of compression and amount of resources used for backups. Throttle control backup lets you continue using your computer while backups occur seamlessly in the background.

For Vista-32: This product is not for the faint of heart. The initial installation was problematic as you don’t know if the computer is locked-up or completing the task. The “Live Update” function is a complete nightmare. It consistently malfunctioned and took a hard reset to complete. The backup/restore process is VERY slow. To backup and restore the whole computer, it took 2+ hours for each function. Little useful documentation is provided, it must be downloaded. Even then, the steps are not well documented. This product is “long in the tooth” and best suited to someone who is technical.

The title IS NOT compatible with Vista 64. It will install OK, and will work, but the first time you run Live Update, it will do some combination of destroying the install, making your CD / DVD drives unusable, or crashing Windows. There are work arounds /fixes to get it to function if you are an expert, but you should not need workarounds. The tray application also throws cryptic error messages every time you connect any kind of external drive, even a blackberry. I am a long time user of earlier versions on XP, wasted my money for V14 for my new Vista 64 box.
