Norton Ghost 12 Worth the Cash

Norton has had a bad rap for their software over the past few years, especially towards those who know computers well, and in turn know how poor of quality their software could be. Norton Internet Security immediately comes to mind, which I personally find to be one of the most ridiculous pieces of commercial software on the market.

But, I digress. What about their ongoing Ghost series, which just hit it’s 12th version? The Inquirer took a hard look at it and were left quite impressed, awarding it an 8 out of 10. If you are a Windows user looking for a solid backup and recovery offering, check out the review. As you would expect, it’s one of the few applications completely compatible with Vista.

Ghost 10 didn’t impress us, more so now we see 12 in comparison. There’s a feature, which should have been in every version so far, just hammering our point home. It’s the ability to create a customised recovery-disc based on the hardware in the computer and its working drivers. Saving all that F6 pressing and selecting optional drivers for use with the bog-standard boot disc supplied. This disc is to be used when the system won’t boot into windows and the back-up image is accessible.
