I'm trying to find a decent pc backup software, and I'm trying to choose between the two. they're both the same price, and from what i've read on Norton's website, what's the difference, if any? thanks.

serious backup is better with Norton Ghost. u need a good media for backup, like a dvd, memeory devices, or external HDD. this backsup entire hdd in a complete recover mode, where u can restore the computer completely without having to reinstall, etc. rstore is like windows, and is a set of milestones to backup nd restore, and usually takes up existing hdd to backup. but depends on wht u need to back up really...

Seems that Norton Save & Restore does more than Norton Ghost
Compared side by side here: http://www.symantecstore.com/v2.0-img/operations/symantus/site/ghostsnr/save_and_restore_ghost.htm
Norton Save & Restore
Has 5 New features
1: Selective file and folder backup
2: Backup based on file type
3: Search on file/folder for recovery
4: Integration with Norton Protection Center
5: Integration with Norton Internet Security
So it's Norton Ghost with more features and a different name.

the computer computing gadget I artwork with (I help about 1400 pcs) makes use of Ghost to do precisely what you're asking about. All our pcs are similar, and we use a Ghost image to set them up anytime abode windows desires to be (re)put in. besides the undeniable fact that, we had to purchase an company version of XP. it truly is a particular license which permits us to apply an similar activation code on distinctive pcs. It also does no longer telephone Microsoft anytime it truly is put in on a computer. without the corporate version, you've complications that it gained't lively on the "imaged" computing gadget. it is going to examine the serial numbers of the device board, processor, hardchronic, memory, etc., are attentive to that's not on an similar computing gadget, and refuse to run.
