But while Ghost 9.0 shows great promise, its backup and overall performance speed still lags behind that of, a product that also offers more features for the same price. Version 9.0's predecessor, forced you to reboot and load DOS before running a backup, a clunky design that made Windows inaccessible until the backup was complete. Ghost 9.0 now lets you make a duplicate 'image' of your hard drive's contents-copying all the files, programs, and settings-by incorporating technology from, an imaging tool that Symantec acquired when it purchased PowerQuest Corporation in 2003. IntroSymantec's Norton Ghost 9.0 takes a major leap forward by allowing Windows XP and 2000 users to create byte-by-byte hard disk backups-useful for mirroring standard software configurations across new office desktops-without rebooting their PC or leaving Windows. Even so, Acronis True Image 8.0 is much better for the same money.Visit. I really hope my test results were wrong and it actually pretty fast and solid, so that I could use it again.The Good Creates backup images without exiting Windows or restarting your PC cogent interface allows scheduled backups.The Bad Slower than the competition won't run on Windows 95/98 systems valuable disk-wiping tool is an optional install (on a separate disk) slow e-mail support.The Bottom Line Norton Ghost 9.0 is a much improved disk imager, particularly now that it performs backup/restore operations without leaving Windows. Please compare it with other popular imaging software in terms of speed and compression. It appears Symantec did not catch up with the young, modern competitors and lacks a lot in speed and compression.Īnyone interested in testing out the latest 12. It brings back so much memory when I did disk imaging back in teh XP days, when I used a boot CD to run the DOS version of Symantec Ghost v8.2. To me, Symantec Ghost Enterprise version has so much memory and it gives me nostalgia because it still has the same GUI. The same task only took Drive Snapshot 3.3min to complete with a much smaller image (~25GB in size). If choose either "low" or "high" compression, Ghost would take 15-25 min to finish. With "No compression" Ghost would take >10min to finish on my I7-2700K with 8GB RAM desktop.
