Knock Knock... Who is it?? Norton Ghost 10.0

Watch out Acronis TI 9.0.0.2270 Beta...


Symantec on Tuesday launched Ghost 10.0, the next edition of its end-user image-based backup and restore software.
Norton Ghost 10.0 debuts a Windows System Restore-esque recovery point capability that lets users set event-triggered recovery points -- backups that are a snapshot of the drive at a particular time -- and also reconcile recovery points to save storage space.

In addition, Ghost's new reconciliation function lets users continue to make incremental backups -- available in previous versions of the software -- even when the PC's status has changed because of an unexpected hard boot or power failure.

Ghost 10.0 supports 128-, 192- and 256-bit AES encryption strengths, shows the backup and recovery status for all drives on a system, and works with CDR/RW and DVD+R/RW drives, USB- and FireWire-connected backup, and Iomega Zip and Jaz drives.

The software will release later in September, and sell for $70; current users of Ghost will be able to upgrade to version 10.0 for $50.

Hi dscrap, I removed your thread from the Acronis support forum. Please use this forum for further discussion.

Comparing a release version of a product against anothers beta version is not to be recommended.

Thanks. Pilli

 

Ghost 10 looks bloated ...

 

Haaaahahahahaha.....

 

Acronis TI 9.x feels like beta indeed. It is sold to customers though. Anyway, i bought Acronis TI 9.0 and i deeply regret it. New (beta) builds are coming out daily/weekly and atm i do not really how i can back up my data. Maybe Ghost 10.0 is the solution? Do you have any suggestions for backing up data?

Cheers,

Well, I'm gonna find out. I sprung for Norton Ghost 10 last night (will get the $20 rebate). I have two other machines for the wife and the kids, so I can put Ghost 10 onto one of them if my TI9 ever gets up to speed where it's useful on my own machine.
