 Bought on name against advice 2010-09-01 |
| By James S Brown |
| I'am not a computer expert and all I want to do is run a few programs and make sure I have them backed up without spending a lot of time on the computer. Norton Ghost is not very user friendly, shows have error but does not show how to help or solve it. I should have took the advice of the others on the web and bought a different brand. |
| Does Not Work With NAS 2010-08-31 |
| By Mom2Michael (Houston, TX) |
I decided to finally do a good job of backing up my home computers and bought a QNAP TS-110 NAS and installed a Hitachi 2 TB drive. I already had an external SATA drive which I increased in size to 2 TB also. I have the system working well and can share folders and have mapped network drives between the computers and the NAS. So it is time to install Ghost 15.0.
The installation works well but when I set up a backup I can't access the NAS shared folder for the back-up. I keep getting a error: "Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed.". It turns out that Ghost has to access the NAS using a user name that does not come from the PC being backed-up. I had to Un-Map all my network drives and reboot. I added a "Ghost" user name to the NAS (Nas-name) with its own password. I made a new network drive Q: with the location \\Nas-name\username; Re-connect at log-on; CONNECT USING A DIFFERENT USER NAME The user name to make the connection was "Nas-name\Ghost" and the corresponding NAS password. I then added the normal network drive connection Z: under the normal user name.
OK, I have found out how to do this after many hours when they could have provided some warning and instructions in probably 2-4 sentences. The backup completes without any errors.
I now check that I can recover the drive using the Symantec Recovery Disk (SRB). When the computer boots from the Ghost SRB it can't find the Windows network. I worked hours searching the forums and trying differnt things. The Norton technician also did a remote link for 1.5 hours and he still could not get it to function.
So I have a backup that can't be reloaded on a clean hard drive. So I have succeded in doing nothing after 20 hours of work.
The program looks like it works well for a backup to an external SATA drive (why I gave it 2 stars instead of zero)but will not work to a NAS even though the documentation states that it can. |
 Don't buy this worthless software!! 2010-08-26 |
| By ARCTAS (California United States) |
| I have spent over 6 hours online with Norton support to copy my 40GB hard drive to a new 320GB hard drive and it still doesn't work!! All I get is the blue screen of death. They even downloaded Partition Magic to my computer and it still doesn't work. Find some other way to upgrade your hard drive. |
 Easy to install and use! 2010-08-10 |
| By David P. Unger (Indianapolis, IN, USA) |
| I wanted a product to "mirror" my hard disk on a nightly basis. I do not need any other functionality. This product was extremely easy to install (no problems at all) and very easy to set up. It has run nightly as scheduled. At this point I have not needed to reload anything from the "mirror" copy so I can not say how easily that might be. So far I'm very happy with this product. |
| None of the reviews make sense 2010-08-09 |

I fail to understand why nobody (unless I have missed it) has mentioned that you CAN NOT boot from version 15 cd to recover files using the "analyze" then "explore my computer" then click on edit then copy. It has been disabled but not on version 14.
I do not mean a recovery point either. With the older version of Ghost 14, you can boot any pc with it and then select "analyze" then select "explore my computer". Then you can see all of your files and select edit then copy them to an external hard drive or another local drive. According to Symantec, you need a recovery point made first. So my response is that version 15 of Ghost has the file copy feature mentioned in the location above, but it is DISABLED. Tech support could not resolve this.
If I boot from a Symantec Ghost version 14 recovery cd on any PC, I can copy files with no problem without making any kind of restore point first.
If I boot from a Symantec Ghost version 15 recovery cd on any PC, I CANNOT copy files to an external drive.
If anybody has any idea or experience with this problem please post a note.
