I am not able to find documentation which says this.

http://www.symantec.com/enterprise/products/overview.jsp?pcid=1025&p vid=865_1

Where have you seen this referenced?

I found the reference from the *Product Manuals* found at the following links--see either the *Manual Description*, the *Readme.txt*, or the *Implementation Guide*--the second page shows the *version* of the Guide:

Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 1.0 Product Manuals

Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 1.1 Product Manuals

Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 2.0 Product Manuals

Rad, yes: there will be both a Norton Save & Restore 2.0 and a Norton Ghost 12 product within about the next 60 days, just as there exists a Norton Save & Restore 1.0 and a Norton Ghost 10 product today. True, the latter two products do have a lot in common, with additional file/folder backup capabilities added to NSR.

It is only speculation on my part, but I would not be surprised if the Ghost component in Norton Save & Restore 2.0 will be lacking the new advanced features that have been added to Norton Ghost 12 (e.g., physical-to-virtual image conversion). As a consequence, I also would not be surprised to see a substantial price difference between the two products, nor would I be surprised to find the price of Norton Ghost 12 higher than that of Norton Ghost 10.

	Re: What is Ghost 12? Reply #18 - Mar 31^st, 2007 at 10:17pm NightOwl, Thanks for the follow-up. Reading the manuals .. I shoulda known. Pleo, Does it seem Symantec is marketing S&R towards the (less tech-savvy) home user, and Ghost (with more sophisticated options) to the power user? Anybody stumble across any Ghost 12 "sightings" on the 'Net?
