Default Norton Ghost 2003???

Norton Ghost 2003 can very well restore NTFS partitions and does it from
floppy and is not yet driveimage based ( driveimage based is version 9
however).

Peter,
I think Ghost 2003 was the last version Symantec made. I also think
it is the only version that will restore & backup ntfs partition from
a dos boot disk.

Thanks for that info. I have used earlier versions of Ghost
successfully but not over a network and not with NTFS partitions, and
I'm not too keen to upgrade to later versions of the Ghosted-Drive
Image or whatever combination it will be now Symantec has Drive Image.
Particularly if they won't restore my NTFS partitions using the boot
floppy!

I'm currently evaluating Acronis True Image and it seems pretty good
so far - and avoids the reversion to DOS altogether. I still have
some reservations about backing up "in-use" files from within Windows,
with the possibility that some files will have changed after backing
up earlier ones, so you might not get a "True Image" after all, but
who knows?
