    Hi all, just wondering if any of you guys have ever used to this program before and is it any good? it states it can completely backup your harddrive
    How long does it take to backup your harddrive? or is that dependant on processor speed + HD size?

    cheers.

    The original use for ghost was to make an identical clone of a one hard drive to another - they later added network support - we used to use a ghost server to push hard drive images to labs of 50+ workstations.

    I like it personally - although I hear it can be a bit fiddly when doing a vista drive - I encountered this once but was in a hurry so did a complete install instead.

    I used it number of times and cannot fault it. It is a tool of choice for many large firms, including mine (well last time I checked....).
    Never done Vista with it mind...

    yeah my brother has used it in his shop on the XP's but he voiced concerns about it with vista.

    think i'll call him and see what issues he's on about
