Norton Ghost 10 cloning

    has anyone used Ghost 10?

    We had an old copy of Ghost here that worked very well but it had the ability to save the image wherever, then burn to a cd later and then boot from the floopy, run ghost, and copy the image from a CD or DVD to the HDD. Does Ghost still support this? Only reason I ask is the website seems to be pushing it as a backup tool rather than a clone tool. I know this is a stupid question but I'm googling 50 things at the minute and up to my neck in work. I would appreciate any help on this issue?

    Ghost 9 (haven't used 10) worked in pretty much the way you mention, except that now you no longer had to leave Windows to create the image, and you could boot the recovery program straight from the Ghost CD, so no need for floppys.

    not yet no. I need a quick solution to this and I need to buy the software here at work. which has more features I suppose is the main thing. Has anyone here tried to use both professionally? I'd really like more opinions.
