Something for us was very disturbing:
Unfortunately, the program MUST always be installed on a computer so that a backup can be created. It is not possible with this version, create a backup by using a boot CD ".
Some competitors (such as Acronis) offer this feature; the program starts directly from CD.
I try to avoid unnecessary installations because Windows makes it possible to always bloated 'and each installation requires resources on the computer.
By installing on the computer and getting a service "(memory-resident program) is also started, which makes it possible to create a backup of a complete Windows.
This service caused on a laptop (Windows XP prof.) A problem in connection with a USB UMTS modem.
After Norton Ghost was installed, the modem has not been properly recognized as a USB device, it signed up to the computer, then it disappeared again, a few seconds later it was recognized as a new USB device "... the game would go on endlessly ,
A safe work was no longer possible with this device.
Only after Norton Ghost has been completely uninstalled, you could use the modem again correctly.
When using to fell, creating in the program interface of backup "elsewhere recovery points" is mentioned.
Ultimately, here, two different words are used for a function - it was always meant the backup.
Probably worked differently here in the translation from English. We did initially confused because we do this with respect to the recovery point WINDOWS own; However, this was incorrect.
RESUME:
Since Norton Ghost always be installed to create a backup on Windows MUST installed Norton Ghost resistant storage can cause drivers (services) additional malfunctions in other devices;
To restore files can be booted with the supplied CD.
User interface used different meanings (inhomogeneous translation), although the same function (backup) was meant.
Therefore, unfortunately, only 3 points.
