 If only it did what it said it would do June 9, 2008

Wish I'd read the reviews below before buying, as those comments resonate with me now! Couldn't get it to make a customised Driver Disk, and couldn't get it to back up folders and files. Not a lot of use then, though it promises to be a great bit of software. I heard that it didn't work on Vista (doubtless unfair hearsay)...well it doesn't seem to work on XP either - well not mine. May just be my machine, though it clears the basic requirements easily. Really wanted it to work, but as it doesn't, afraid it became the first thing I've ever had to return to Amazon. Grateful to Amazon for at least accommodating that process with the pre-paid customised return label! Happy Man not so happy today!
NB Bought 'Norton 360 All in One security' at the same time and it works a treat.

I also had version 10 till I got told that support had finished and I needed to move on.
I did, however, symantec should have built upon 10 rather than trying to move away from the ease of 10.
If you're new to imaging I would steer clear of this product, however if you have the time and skill then stick with it.
I suggest if you buy it, then there was a big live update for it, maybe that has repaired errors the other comments experienced.

I like the other reviewer puchased the product for exactly the same reason.having had no problems with Ghost 10 I did not expect any with this one..How wrong could I have been?I installed it OK but it simply refused to back my Laptop.Twice the error message came up ,Error 800706be "Running Job:Drive of back up of os(c:/),recovery(D:/) lapse time 13:04..So it tried but then gave up just like I did..I am sorry to say it has been returned (not a thing I do very often) to Amazon..

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!
