Product Description
From photos and music to tax documents, Norton Ghost 10.0 automatically backs up and recovers everything on your computer. Reliable, efficient, and versatile, Norton Ghost optimizes backup space, works with a wide range of media devices, and brings back your entire system in a few short steps.
Amazon.com Product Description
Backing up your system might seem like a hassle, but when you lose your important data right before a big meeting, event, or project due date, you'll wish you had. Norton Ghost 10.0 makes backing up so simple that you will no longer have to worry about it--it automatically backs up any and all data, including photos, music, tax documents, and more, making it ideal for home users, too. Norton Ghost 10.0 now automatically detects storage devices, analyzes your system, and offers the "best practice" backup advice during installation. The new one-step setup wizard makes installation and configuration even easier. It also automatically creates an initial backup schedule based on your computer's configuration. Plus, it will backup to virtually any media of your choice, including CDR/RW and DVD+-R/RW, USB and FireWire devices, Iomega Zip and Jaz drives, and more. A handful of new tools make customizing and monitoring backups even easier. Backups are triggered by key events like new program installations or user logings. The one button "Backup Now" feature lets you create new backups on demand. Monitoring backups is easier with a task-based interface, and all scheduled backups are displayed in one convenient view along with the degree of backup protection for each drive. New for those who have Maxtor external drives is a Maxtor OneTouch button that automatically begins backing up your drives. As always you can make incremental backups to help maximize space and save time, and you can make backups on the fly without restarting your computer. If something does go awry, it can recover system data even when you can't restart your operating system.

 Worked for a While October 28, 2007
A trial version of this came with my Dell laptop. It seemed to work so I bought a key. It worked for a while with the key but now it doesn't work at all. I will uninstall and do manual file backups.
Semantec does not have customer service September 21, 2007
Semantec (Norton Ghost) has no customer service. Avoid this product or get stuck in the black hole of no support. Their 800# is a endless cycle of music and then cuts you off,only so you have to call back to revisit the same nightmare.

I wish that I had read the reviews here on Amazon before I bought this malware at my local office supply store. All I wanted to do was make a complete copy of my Windows XP system hard drive onto external media, nothing fancy. I made sure that my hardware setup had the capability to do this and then I installed Ghost 10.0. The user interface and included user guide was easy to use and understand. I began my first system back up, but before it was complete, an error message came up about an "...Internal application error: memory access violation..." I tried a second time and got the same error. I went to Symantec's online tech support and found my error code listed there. They suggest downloading an update to the software. I did this, and one of the 2 updates gave me an error message that the "update failed..." So far, I was only mildly disturbed by all of this, because I am used to hacking buggy Linux applications. But when I restarted my computer, and saw that my Windows startup configuration had changed - I just about exploded with anger! There is no reason for this program to change ANY of my system settings, and especially not my login. I don't care what their reasons are. I wanted a program to back my system up - not change it.
I wonder what else it did to my system? There is an online magazine review of this software that suggests that there may be something nefarious hidden in this software: Ghost 10.0 regularly and frequently updates a file called symlcrst.dll at odd and varying intervals. Symantec refuses to provide an explanation for this - saying that it is "proprietary" information. I hated to realize that I had just gotten ripped off, but I uninstalled everything and used the native Windows system restore to put my computer back the way it was. I will never buy anything from Norton again. Ever.
