Quote:1) do I need to buy a copy of Ghost for each machine?
Yes.
Quote:2) Kids have Vista so I was going to buy 12.0 thinking that 10.0 would not work with Vista .. can the 12.0 CD restore my 10.0 image? I am just wondering how much compatiblity there is between versions or if it is one version to a matching Ghost version.
Correct, Ghost 10 will not function on Vista.
Most likely, Ghost 12 will be backward compatible and able to read and restore Ghost 10 images and files--but you probably can only restore individual files onto a Vista system (if that's what your asking?)--if you restore a whole OS image made with Ghost 10 of a non-Vista system--onto your Vista system--you will end up without your Vista OS, and be back to that original pre-Vista OS!
Maybe someone with Ghost 12 experience can answer that definitively.
Probably Ghost 10 will not be able to correctly handle Ghost 12 images.
As a rule of thumb, it probably always best to keep Ghost images matched to its creating version to avoid any confounding incompatibilities.
