Customer Reviews

October 20, 2009 -"Norton Ghost 14 adds even more features to the already popular Norton Ghost / Save & Restore line of products. I've noticed a dramatic increase in speed and performance when compared to its predecessor, Norton Ghost 12 (why was there never a 13?). This edition adds FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and NAS (Network Attached Storage) support functionality making remote jobs and storage easy and accessible for our wireless world. As with all Ghost products, Norton Ghost 14 has a very easy to navigate and intuitative interface with simple prompts and self-explanitory choices that make using it a breeze even for beginners however... under the hood lies a wealth of options and featurs to appease even demanding power users who are trying to start a small business such as myself. There's only one flaw with this particular version of the product and that is if you run Live Update and download the patch available, it'll cause an error message to appear while ghosting - however this has NO effect on the integrity of the ghost created. Said bug is the only thing preventing me from giving it a 5 star rating."

October 11, 2009 -“Saved my life so many times over the years. What a great program. Have tried others and always come back to Norton Ghost. It is without question the best for saving your butt when all else fails such as a main C Drive goes south. Frankly I insist that you get Norton Ghost - so little to pay to get so much! Especially when you can pick and choose what needs to be restored.”
