 My Norton ghost 15 report cardDec 05, 2009
By B. Wong
Backups get A+:
1. Backing up over network, high compression, custom drivers loading is easy to do. You will backup in style
2. Superior and useful utilities.
3. Every imaginable problem from the legendary Ghost 2003 is fixed and improved.
4. No more .gho format anymore. The current format so far has handled some large partition backups for me. Full 30GB partitions to high compression is a breeze.
Restores get C-:
1. Right away after a partition recover, you will get the message "Please insert the Recovery disk". It will say "Error EA730002: Cannot find the driver database directory". How does this error stay in the product? It is one confusing message for a successful recovery. The recovery disk is really just the ghost CD.
2. Then there is the staged recovery mystery. With 2 identical machines of the same hardware, I can only restore to the machine where I initially did the cold backups. I don't understand. This is ruining my confidence in the product. We are talking same motherboards, same versions, everything.
3. What other kind of hardware replacement will prevent my restores? Should I buy another backup product just in case?

 Unbootable Source DriveDec 20, 2009
By Chris
I tried using "Copy My Hard Drive" to make a bootable Windows 7 disk clone and it rendered the source drive (C:) unbootable! I had to get out the installation DVD to "repair" my Windows 7 installation.
I used to back up my XP drives this way using Ghost 12 and it worked smoothly for years. No backup program should modify anything on the source drive. There are several threads on the Symantec site about this and no one has a clue. Save your money if you plan on using the "Copy My Hard Drive" feature.

Ghost 15.0 has a fatal flaw.Feb 25, 2010
By Michael
Ghost 15.0 will not communicate with my Netwok Attached Storage hard drive from Iomega. Since the reason I bought it was to back my system up on the NAS drive, it is worthless. Norton Support Technicians have spent a great deal of time on my computer trying to make it work for over a month with no success. Finally they said "Sorry, but no refund". Every other application, includung Norton Security Suite work fine with my NAS drive so I believe that Ghost 15.0 has an inherent flaw in its communications routine which you will not discover until you have opened the package, thereby ruling out any refund. DO NOT BUY THIS SOFTWARE!

Incompatible with Windows 7Mar 23, 2010
By rhebusman
I purchased Ghost 15.0 because it was billed as compatible with Windows 7 both by Symantec and Microsoft. However, attempted installation produced "error 2738. Could not access VBScript run time for custom action.". Four hours with technical support failed to resolve problem. The technical staff elevated it to the engineering team who never responded (my phone battery went dead while waiting over 30 minutes on hold). Finally, I got agreement for a refund.
While the technical support staff appeared to not be familiar with this problem, on their own users community site I learned that this is a well know issue with Ghost 15.0 which the technical support staff routinely refers to the engineering team who never respond.
I stongly recommend against purchasing Ghost 15.0 for Windows 7 users.

Ghost 15 / 64bit & NetworkDec 14, 2009
By M. Herman
Although Ghost backs up to an internal, usb external and network drive on my 64bit Win 7 machine, you can't restore from the network drive when using the system recovery disk. It advises that I (the user) need to find and load the 32bit drivers. Symantec's advice is to call Dell and Microsoft; Dell and Microsoft advise that it is a Symantec issue. After 3 runaround cycles, I just gave up. For the record, Win 7 has a built in back up recovery environment that is not as robust, but somehow it is able to find the network when booting from a restore cd.
