Win 7 has a small imaging program to backup your system.

I use Acronis currently.

Does anyone know if  Norton's backup program is an imaging one or not? I have the Norton Security Suite ver.  4.3.0.5

If so, how do you rate its effectiveness in retrieving a single file and also recovering a system in case of failure?

I ask because I know Norton - Symantec - makes Ghost and thought they might carrry over to the Suite.

Thank you
