incorporating lessons & strategies we've learned & developed over the years. I plan to throw together a *new* Rad guide. see here > Installed Ghost 12 today, created image (Recovery Point), posted screenshots Never a single problem (after I learned a few tricks).ĭuring installation & imaging last night, I grabbed some screenshots of the process and posted them in the forums. I have created literally hundreds of images and restored dozens. against every type of screw-up & disaster you can imagine. Admittedly, it wasn't easy to uninstall ( DOS-based) Ghost 2003 (cuz you can't have both versions resident on your system), which has provided me with * years* of bulletproof protection.
So this is a something of a big deal for me. but figure it's time to join the 21st century, and gather some experience with these newfangled (Windows-based) imaging tools. I've been pooh-pooh'ing the notion of Windows-based back-up images ever since Ghost 9.0 first arrived on the scene (for reasons detailed > here). We even have one of the program's original developers stopping by (from New Zealand), sharing insights, along with other wizards, who all possess their particular niche of expertise. The Rad Community forums have become the de facto Ghost support forums on the Web, frequented by people smarter than me, who graciously lend their experience.
If you've been Radified for any length of time, you know how we stress the importance of backing-up your hard drive with a cloning program, such as Ghost. to a 500-gig Seagate external USB drive (from Newegg). Installed Norton Ghost 12 last night, and ( successfully!) created my first Windows-based back-up image (which Symantec terms a Recovery Point).
