Hi Deric - I suspect that this error may have multiple causes as my software is not corporate.  Strangely, my backup now has the dreaded  fault of trying to create a recovery point and having a touch of the vapours at 1% into the backup process.  How can we have any confidence in a program's ability to save us from major PC disaster when there are so many problems with it when the PC is working perfectly.  In fairness, this problem is not limited to Norton Ghost software.
