Rating: - Helpful so long as you're patient
I've used this product for four years. While I've been displeased with it at least a half a dozen times, I eventually got used to its being "moody" and it behaves like it should when I need backups onto CD's. However, if(as another reviewer wrote), Symantec no longer offers tech support, I couldn't enthusiastically endorse it.
Rating: - NG2003 and large backups
I got this software mainly because of its Windows interface. I have also been using older versions without hassle.

Rating: - Faithful service for almost 5 years
Bought in late 2002 after using previous versions, this is still the most reliable and fastest version ever. From win 95, 98 to winXP SP2, its a workhorse and does it job flawlessly.
I would like to upgrade to a newer version of Ghost and am investigating the pros and cons of doing so.
Rating: - This product is dead as far as Symantec support is concerned
Like alot of developers all i needed was a basic imaging tool, nothing fancy and after reading how everyone swore by 2003 i bought the product. Bad move as symantec NO LONGER SUPPORTS NORTON GHOST 2003. This product is dead as far as Symantec support is concerned. To quote there web site "We no longer provide technical support for Norton Ghost 2003. To continue receiving support, we suggest that you upgrade to the latest version of Norton Ghost, which we offer to previous users at a discounted price." ... Read More
Rating: - Nice Product, hard to find.
This is the best backup solution I have ever used. I read somewhere that Norton removed some features in its successor. I am happy with it.
