| | | | Product Guides | | | |  | Norton Ghost™ 14.0 protects your computer with advanced backup and recovery. |
| Norton Ghost™ 14.0 protects PCs—including all applications, settings, folders, and files—with advanced backup and recovery. It provides powerful protection with new features such as offsite backups and Symantec ThreatCon integration, as well as enhanced performance, one-to-one remote management, LightsOut Restore capability, and more.
With Norton Ghost 14.0, you have a choice of backup types: full system (disk image) or specific files and folders. Backups include encryption and error checking to help keep your data safe, while compression, incremental backups, and automatic backup file management minimize storage space. Plus, you can now copy recovery points to a FTP site for easier offsite backup management.
Norton Ghost 14.0 is ready whenever you need to recover, whether that involves restoring individual files or an entire system. The Software Recovery Disk allows you to start your computer, scan for viruses or hard disk errors, and start the recovery process even if your operating system won’t start.
With the advanced tools included in Norton Ghost 14.0, you can take data protection to the next level. One-to-one remote management backs up other computers on your network that have Norton Ghost 12.0 or higher installed, and LightsOut Restore lets you install the Software Recovery Environment on your hard disk so you’ll always be ready to recover. And now you can also take advantage of up-to-the-minute intelligence from Symantec’s industry-leading Internet security research organization by having your backups automatically triggered whenever ThreatCon reaches a specified threat level.

5 of 5 EXCELLENT PRODUCT Sunday, November 16, 2008
John from Boerne, TX
This is a very easey to use backup program and Norton Ghost 14 is a much improved over 10. It is a little pricey because of the need to buy a seperate license for each computer, but other than that no complaints. Buy.com's service is excellent, as usual. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 GREAT PRODUCT AND EASY TO USE Wednesday, August 27, 2008
Ramona from Jonesboro, GA
This is the second series of Norton Ghost that I have owned and it is well worth the price. I had to buy another series to be compatible with Vista but I was sold on the old 9.0 series after using it once after a computer crash. Nothing like the ease of restoring my computer and being able to boot into a computer that would not boot on its own. I now store backups on an external hard drive which makes it easier than DVDs and I can schedule backups to suit my schedule or run one manually. The pease of mind is worth the money. It only takes one crashed computer to make a believer out of you. Was this review helpful?
1 of 5 Nothing but trouble Monday, August 25, 2008
A Customer from Muncie, Indiana
I had used Ghost 9.0 and thought that 14.0 would be great. I was wrong. LiveUpdate didn't work, and Ghost couldn't read my USB drives. Two different techs from Symantec spent HOURS with full control of my computer and could not get it to work. Frustrated, I downloaded Acronis Drive Image and just a few minutes later I was creating my first backup without trouble. Was this review helpful?

A Customer from Western, MI
Next to Time Machine for OS X, Ghost is the best solution for home Windows users. I have it running on over 10 clients and have not had a problem with it! Was this review helpful?
3 of 5 fat32 problems Monday, July 28, 2008
A Customer from Oakland, CA
Though the tech specs indicate support for fat32, I was unable to get it to work with Vista 32 Home Premium and fat32 formatted NAS. Spent about an hour in discussions with someone in India before he finally said that Symantec suggests that the external drive be NTFS. The ratings above assume that Ghost will work when I try it with a NTFS USB drive. Was this review helpful?

4 of 5 Great, Easy, but... Monday, July 28, 2008
Karv from Birmingham, AL
My only problem with this software is its incompatibility with previous versions of Windows. My office has computers running Windows 95, 2000, NT, and XP. Thus, I was only able to backup one computer in the office. I just wish they would have made it more clear that it absolutely DOES NOT support any versions of windows other than Vista and XP.

4 of 5 Best backup program ever used! Tuesday, July 22, 2008

4 of 5 Ghost is a great tool, but be sure to use it corre Saturday, July 19, 2008
A Customer from tx
I have been a user of ghost for many years. I started with either version 1 or 2. I have used them since it was a private company and before Norton bought them. It is a great tool, and will do what it says. The GUI is much easier to understand than the old dos interface from many years ago. The only caution I would give is to not use the 'files and folders' backup. I was doing this and then had a computer problem and lost my OS drive. The files and folders backup, can NOT be restored from the boot cd. Only an 'image' backup can be restored from the boot cd. Files and folders backup has it's place as long as you are not trying to restore the OS drive. In my case, everything had to be rebuilt and reloaded by hand. I could have saved myself a lot of time if I had just done image backups. For me, this is the only bug in an otherwise outstanding program. Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 Full system (disk image) copy should be simpler. Monday, June 30, 2008
A Customer from Wilmington, DE
Full system (disk image) copy was possible only after re-formatting the disk [to remove error message stating that the disk was locked by another process.] The User's Manual should have a detailed section on how to perform a full system (disk image) copy, including a full description of the "advanced" options. [In the good old days, the full system (disk image) was performed using a specially created Disk Operating System (bootable) floppy disk.]
I was not able to create a Recovery CD -- lots of time wasted.

4 of 5 Good Product Monday, June 30, 2008
A Customer from SLC, Ut
I have used Norton Ghost to backup my computers for several years. Recently I had the opportunity to test the restore of my main system after a disk crash. It went very well and I would recommend this product to you. Just remember to read the manual. Was this review helpful?
4 of 5 Reliable backup Friday, June 20, 2008
pradhan from Chicago IL
I have used a number of different backup softwares and have come to rely on Norton Ghost. It is simple to use and dependable. The only drawback comes should you be loading it over an earlier version of Ghost. You should use Norton's Software Remova |
