Officail Norton Ghost sucks therad

Sorry, 3 computers and it works flawlessly on 1 of them

computer 1) Vista 64 ..... there is a workaround, but if you install it, reboot and then do an update, it breaks the Ghost install. Anyways, the next Ghost update willl probably break it again. FAIL!

compute 2) laptop (Windows XP) backed up via network drive on wireless network. It just doesn't freaking work. At some point, the ghost service dies. I am trying to fix this issue now, but Nortons support SUCKS. I am currently doing a backup now and I'll know in the AM if it worked. And thankfully my problem is not a popular solvable with Google.

computer 3) desktop with Windows XP and network drive connected via firewire. THIS WORKS PERFECTLY



My advice, buy any other product other than Ghost. My headaches with the laptop are probably going to force me to buy a different product for that laptop.
 
Personally, I use Knoppix, dd, and Samba. But I guess that's "software for Windows" only insofar as it can make a backup of Windows to a Windows network drive.
