It also worked flawlessly when I trashed a hard drive and had to restore it. I have used Version 6.0 of True Image and the program worked great. I plan to check out Acronis True Image instead. Also, Ghost continued backing up on me when I cancelled out of the middle of a backup. Running a backup will take up all your resources and you can’t do anything else on your machine. Protect your documents, financial records, presentations, photos, music, videos, historical documents, or any other kinds of data you keep on your computer by making a more info. Also, there is no way to do a backup in DOS mode, which with most other backup programs is much faster than backing up in Windows. Norton Ghost 15.6 Symantec Corporation - 119.7MB - Commercial - Norton Ghost provides advanced backup and recovery for your computer. In addition, it appears that in attempting to restore, I trashed the hard drive disk identifying info on the destination drive and I have no idea how to fix it. When I tried to restore again using some different settings, I got the “Error EBAB0003: This feature is not supported.” There is no tech-note or documentation anywhere on the Symantec site or the User Guide for this error. If I did something wrong with the settings backing up or restoring, I have no idea from the documentation. But after the restore, the drive would not boot and I got a disk boot error.

In DOS Mode recovery, I was able to restore in 28 minutes, which is decent. And when I tried to restore in Windows mode, it took 2 hours to restore 16% of that partition – I gave up. I backed up a 20GB partition using Ghost 9 and it took 4.5 hours on a Athlon XP1600 machine with 384MB of RAM – way too slow. Comments: Ghost 9 is total dogmeat, in the tradition of its companion products SystemWorks 2005 and Personal Firewall 2005.
