Unfortunately Ghost is no longer sold for a single user, only for "lots" of
computers (I think 25 was minimum) at 10's of dollars each (totaling
several hundred $$US).  I had an evaluation copy and it worked "Great" as a
full image backup, fast and flexible.  I wish that Symantec would
reconsider selling it in singles or at least modify it so it could be used
as a single user backup program.  Off my soapbox now.
