Symantec Norton Ghost 10 review

Verdict

Easy to use with good automation features, but it's slow compared to True Image 9 and images consume too much space

Review Date: 15 Dec 2005

Reviewed By: Davey Winder

Price when reviewed: (£36 inc VAT)

Overall Rating
3 stars out of 6

The biggest flaw that holds Ghost back is that it hasn't followed True Image by enabling the backup of individual files and folders, and thus isn't a true all-in-one backup tool. Instead, it's a complete image or nothing - apart from incremental backups, that is. Even here, though, it falls behind Acronis by not having an option for differential backups. Although there isn't much between the two on pricing, the value proposition is another thing altogether. For sheer number of features, flexibility and real-world performance, Ghost 10 fails to compete with True Image 9. As such, unless ease of use is paramount, we can't recommend it.
