Re: Alternative to Norton Ghost 15

Did you know SSR 2011 Desktop and Norton Ghost are basically the same product. Ghost has some features disaabled like Restore Anywhere. Of course SSR (formerly BESR 2010 Desktop) has been updated a few times and Ghost hasn't. Ghost must be the ba$+4rd step child of the company. :smileysad:

Hi Redk9258

 

Yes I did know that they are basically the same product. You had mentioned this in one of you posts a year or so ago, thanks.

 

But what would you rather buy if you where in the market for some imaging software

Free after MIR vs. $80+ dollars. It isn't too hard for a tight wad like me to decide :smileyvery-happy:

 

Ghost 15 works fine for me. I just wish they would release another service pack fixing some of the bugs that have been fixed in BESR 2010 and SSR 2011 Desktop editions..
