Norton Ghost 15 Won't backup Windows 8 Boot Partition

Besdides the fun with Ghost 15 not activating after installing Windows 8 Pro as others have reported, Ghost fails when trying to do a system image backup including the Windows 8 boot partition. If I exclude the boot  partion the backup completes normally but I assume I will not be able to restore my system if I have a hard disk crash. Is that correct? Any suggestions? 

 

Here's the error message:

Error EC8F17B7: Cannot create recovery points for job: Drive Backup of System Reserved (*:\), (C:\).
Error EBAB0013: A test that safeguards the integrity of the program failed unexpectedly. CHECK failed,

 

PS Symantec, you really should be ashamed of yourselves for not testing Ghost 15 with Windows 8 and having a patch available or at least a new release. Do you always treat your customers this way? WOW!
