Is Ghost 12 doing well for Vista imaging/restore?

Need imaging util for Vista. Can get Ghost 12 free after rebates, bundled w/ Partition Magic (have it) & Internet Security (you can have it).

What's the consensus on how well Ghost 12 does w/ Vista (or any other company's drive imaging util)? Or is there one?

I have Ghost 9 & 2003 - used on W98 / XP, but honestly never had to restore an image, so don't really know how good it would have been.

Honestly, don't think there'd be any difference in support from Symantec (fairly non-existent) and a free imaging utility. There may be differences in ease of use & accuracy. Doesn't matter if something like this is free, if it doesn't work right.

Thanks.

 

Thanks Halo, Good to know about Acronis. I've looked at it some too.
It's not on sale "for free" or even reduced after rebates right now, unfortunately. That's not the only consideration, but it is one.

I'm just cautious of new versions & how well they work w/ Vista (esp Symantec).

Anyone actually used Ghost & Vista or read up on it?

 

Thanks. No, Vista Hm Prem came on the laptop. AFAIK, it doesn't have the backup / imaging. I do NOT have the INSTALLATION disks, but ONLY the Toshiba RECOVERY disks.

I reinstalled (restored) it once, to see if I could selectively not install some of the apps. It was all or nothing, and kind of slow.
