I have been using Norton Ghost for a couple of years now. It is a great tool for backing up my data on a regular basis. It's very user friendly and easy to use. I like the fact that I can schedule backups and it will take care of it. It also has a good recovery feature where I can recover individual files or the whole system. The only downside is that it can be a bit slow at times, but it's nothing too significant. It's a great product overall.
