[dba-Tech] Drive Copying

I don't think it is just rebranded Drive Image - as Lembit stated DI was
easier to use - however it does include Drive Image features. They did not
do much with Partition Magic except rebrand it. (I generally give Symantec 3
releases after they purchase a competitor before they have it fully
incorporated and have eliminated the former product name from their line-up)

You are correct in the OS limitations. Symantec has been dropping support
for older Oses in their new products and including previous versions on the
CD. They have abandoned many of my favorite features of SystemWorks.

I am not happy with Symantec in 2005.

NIS has turned into one huge PITA and NAV with its silly replacement for
XP's silly Security Center...

Lembit,  

It is my understanding that Ghost 9 IS a rebadged Drive Image.  As a matter
of fact, they include Ghost 2003 for running with 98/me/etc.  I think that
Ghost 9 is only compatible with 2000 and xp (maybe 2003 server, I don't
know).

I had used Ghost some years ago and was not happy at all with it. therefore
I was now glad to get one of the last Drive Image, which is easy to use (and

that means something if I say so)
