Software Reviews of Norton Ghost 12.0 [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: Completely Worthless and Worst than Useless
Summary: 1 Stars
In these days of being able to drop and drag files onto external hard drives and flash drives, it is very easy to back-up data files. One does not need a special program for this, although the nag feature in Norton Ghost may actually get you to do it. However, backing up programs and applications for Windows is impossible by simple copying; too many copyright restrictions, etc. I had several expensive and older programs that I wanted to keep safe. The solution: make a disc image or a ghost! (Get it?)
This program cannot make a copy of an active hard drive. Even though the box explicitly states that it can make disc images, it simply cannot be done. It appears -- best as I can glean by the light of the error messages -- that the disc must be "dismounted" before it can be copied. Norton tech service had no work around. (BE WARNED: Phone service is pay only and charged by the minute even on new programs!!! and all online help simply dumps you into live chat sessions with operators that never answer.) Attempting to force the issue can destroy drives. The first step in the back-up process is to destroy the allocation files on the new disc. I now have $80 external hard drives that can't be recognized by any computer and are effectively inoperative. Just more money down the drain.
There is a delicious irony in this situation in that several error messages were observed while trying to use Norton Ghost to back up my computer stating that my computer's hard drive was about to fail and that I really should back it up soon! It was the only part of the program that worked correctly. The computer did fail, and I now have a iMAc which can be fully backed-up by drag and drop because the OS isn't copyrighted.
The bottom line is that this program is a costly and complete waste of money. It is unlikely that newer versions will fix the problems, because of the focus of "backing up your data" on a regular schedule -- which isn't the reason why I brought the program. I wanted to back up my HARD DISC!
