  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Better than Ghost 10

  Weaknesses:None that I can see.

  Overall Evaluation: I went from Ghost 10 to Ghost 12 without a problem. I like Ghost 12 better. It is faster and has less windows to go through to get to the backup. Good upgrade..

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: solid function

  Weaknesses:consume too much disks

  Overall Evaluation: I have been using Norton Ghost for years from DOS version. It has solid backup ability and Norton Ghost 12.0 has the ability to backup certain files or folders as a big improvement. I backup the system drive and it will make a restore point whenever there is a system configuration change. It make need some work on the image size in the later version.

  Duration of ownership: 2 Weeks

  Strengths: Ability to image an entire hard drive

  Weaknesses:Nothing glaring as yet

  Overall Evaluation: So far, I have had no problems with this version (12) of Norton Ghost. It allows me to image my system drive as well as backup other drives and important files. I have successfully built and tested a recovery CD. However, I have not as yet actually tried to recover or restore anything. The real proof will be when and if I actually have to use the recovery files. I don't have the issue of compatibility with earlier versions raised by other reviewers. So my rating is strictly on its ability to provide a backup solution.

  Duration of ownership: 2 Months

  Strengths: No more DOS mode

  Weaknesses:Requires Microsoft Net 2.0 be installed

  Overall Evaluation: I've been using Norton Ghost to backup my computers but I hadn't upgraded in awhile so I bought Ghost 12. I found the program has changed greatly from the older versions. It is now fully a Windows program instead of a DOS program. The format the backups that it stores data in has changed too. One of the changes I liked least is the requirement to install Microsoft NET 2.0 in order for Ghost 12 to work. The addition of the capacity to just backup files and folders, not just the whole disk is nice. Other than the requirement for Microsoft .NET I found Ghost 12 and its new features to be a big step forward.
