Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The imaging portion of this product is great (it's Norton Ghost) - works just as it's suppose to. You can recover your whole PC in half an hour after a crash.
The file backup portion, which lets you backup frequently changed files on a more frequent basis (daily in my case) is terrible for one reason. It only allows for incremental backups.
Now, that doesn't sound like a big deal, but here's a scenario. You run your file backup and backup everything in C:\Files. Then you either want to back them up to another location (say a CD) or you have a problem with the location you just backed them up to. Guess what? There's no way to back those files up again unless they change! Wipe out the location where you backed up C:\Files and your out of luck. It'll still run, and say it's "done" backing up - but only changed files will ever be backed up again.
I've e-mailed symantec tech support on this and first they said to delete my backup job and create a new one - but that doesn't work! The program keeps a database log of all the backups it's done (you can search it for files) and it won't "waste" space by backing up a file that hasn't changed. In the above scenario if you try and restore a file that was on the original backup (where the media was bad, or you deleted it) - you'll get an error that it can't find the file...but the next backup, it still won't back that file up again.
I've gone to using the backup that comes with Windows XP for my daily backup, and just use this product for the image based backup.
