Norton Ghost 2003

[Voodoo]

Some News:

"Symantec is updating Norton Ghost, which clones a system for easier upgrade, backup, and recovery functions, by adding Microsoft Windows XP support and network functions useful to small businesses."

"Symantec's prime goal with Norton Ghost 2003 is to eliminate those kinds of criticisms and offer a capable but easy-to-use program. To achieve that end, Norton Ghost 2003 provides its first Windows interface--one consistent with other Norton programs' look and feel. Buyers wanted a program they could run directly from Windows, according to Thom Bailey, a Symantec senior product manager. Although Ghost still shells out to DOS to complete its operations, Symantec has eliminated the previous version's requirement that you use a bootable floppy disk.

Symantec uses the program's new "virtual partition" technology to eliminate the need for using the boot disk in most situations. However, the Ghost Boot Wizard can still create boot floppies or CDs for emergency restore operations. The update also adds native support for Windows NT File System (NTFS) partitions and disks, as well expanding its Linux support. Norton Ghost can now back up, restore, or clone EXT3 and EXT2 file systems."

Can't wait for this version. For the whole artical visit /http://www.pcworld.com/news/article/0,aid,104430,00.asp
