Rating: - Norton Ghost 14.0
Bought the program in March, didn't get it installed til April, here it is May It's still NOT working properly due to "Authorization" of program or maybe PC?
Rating: - A complete failure
Being a computer repair and network tech geek for over 15 years, I know what I am talking about.

SKIP this pathetic excuse of a product.

Spend the same amount of money and check out Acronis True Image...there is a HOME version for about $45 and a Business "Workstation" version for $85 and up. The HOME version will be great for most users but the Workstation version offers Universal Restore...for a little extra cash. This means you can restore the PC image to another PC ... Read More

If you need support, all their 800 numbers go through (even during USA daytime) to India or Philippines for support, and they are all following scripted answers. If you try their CHAT they want to have you install ... Read More

Don't bother spending your hard earned money on this product.I have used Ghost before Symantec acquired the product and it was a great deal.I the bought the current product, in the store, assuming I was purchasing a License rather than a 1-year download subscription.Shame on me for not reading the box more closely.And like clockwork I got a subscription notice stating in so many words that the product would stop working if I didn't pay up.So I was stuck with backups I couldn't use unless I continue ...
