I have been using ghost 2003 for a while and I think it's great. However, trying to backup over the network is a pain and almost impossible. I can't get it to work.

I was thinking of going over to ver 9 or ver 10, but was wondering why do they include ver. 2003 in the box also. Ghost 2003 makes image files as *.gho or *.ghs and ghost 9 & 10 makes image files as *.v2i or *.s##. 2003 cannot read ver 9 & 10 files and vise versa. So it seems to me that either you work with 2003 or 9 & 10, but not both.

Is there some sort of workaround that if you have 2003 images and want to upgrade to ver 9 or 10 to still be able to use your images? I have a base image (*.gho) with the basic install plus a few essential apps, that if all else fails and I want a clean install I can go back to it. If I move over to ver 9 or 10, my *.gho file will be useless or I would have to use two apps, 2003 for my older *.gho files and and ver 9 or 10 for moving forward with my new image files.

Norton bought PowerQuest, and switched the retail version of Ghost to use Drive Image, rebadged as Ghost. So I'm not sure it would be possible to import the older version images, as it is now a different product.

They are different versions. In the Ghost 9 box they also put a cd of Ghost 2003 for backward compatibility.

FYI ghost 9 and 10 have image browser which supports all the images made from those imaging programs.
