Norton Ghost, meet Backup Exec. Backup Exec, meet Ghost. That’s right: Symantec’s Backup Exec System Restore 2010 Desktop Edition is an imaging product, like Norton Ghost. But it’s also a substantially improved version that offers a compelling new feature as well finally addressing my longstanding and deal-killing complaint about Symantec imaging products: their inability to back up using the boot disc.
The compelling new feature of which I speak is the ability to convert BESR 2010 backup images to the VMWare .vmdk, Microsoft .vhd, and VMWare ESX server formats. If your system hardware goes belly up, you can mount these in a virtual machine on another PC and continue working.
