Something New:
I didn't know where to put this, so here goes:

Just poking around the internet, I ran into a new 'Ghost' offering from Broadcom.com
It's called "Ghost 12.0.0.11379"  Copyright 2021, Broadcom Inc.

Well, I just had to take a look!
It came as an ISO, which I downloaded and burned to a 32GB Flash Drive.
It booted up my PC just fine, but came up with a screen with the bright Blue Windows in the center of an all black screen.
I sat there staring at that for a moment, wondering if my PC was booting up in Windows, or just what.
Then came up a screen like I've never seen before.  There was the old familiar Ghost 11.5 window, inside a blue frame, centered in a light blue screen.  It looked like Ghost was running in a Windows shell, or some such.  Weird!  But on the first screen of Ghost, it had all the ownership info as I noted in my opening paragraph.

So what gives?  Did Broadcom buy the rights to Ghost from Symantec?  Did they HiJack it?  Eh?

Well, it runs exactly like Ghost 11.5, and is workable with a mouse.  And is also customizable, just like the old Ghost, as long as it was run from a writable media.

So, I'm just wondering, if anyone else has seen this new Ghost yet?
RSVP!

I know I must have missed a few, but I've tried 'Almost' every backup program that has come down the road since 1997, when I was first introduced to Ghost.
Before 1997, I used the backup routines in "PC Tools".

And, I've never found one that will do what Ghost will do, and so simply too.
I've used it to back up every version of Windows since '98.  It also backs up Linux and 'Server'.
It even backs up a data drive, with no OS at all.

I did have to upgrade from Ghost 2003 to Ghost 11.5 to accommodate the NTFS drives.
And, since then I've picked up "Ghost Explorer" and "Ghost for Windows".

Now, after all these years, I have a revised version of Ghost, from Broadcom.com
It's exactly like Ghost 11.5, but in a different wrapper.

I don't know if it was supposed to be a Retail Software, because where I found it, I downloaded it and installed it for FREE.

I can't imagine that I'm not in a pretty good-sized Group, of Ghost users.

This is a Yo Ho Ho version of ghost64.exe in a WinPE, extracted from Ghost Solution Suite 3.3. An Enterprise product.

Ghost 12 has been in GSS for about 6 years. And updated. It's not related to "Ghost 12" the home product. Ghost64.exe doesn't run in DOS.

The apps are free because it's a pirate site...

I have to guess--never know for sure--but this seems a likely interpretation:

I think Old Casper was requesting a response to his posted information.

I think the more common usage of RSVP is  *to respond to an invitation*.

NightOwl

License?  What license?  Are you kidding, or just wanting to start a fight?

Just kidding.  I do have a lifetime lic. for Windows Utilities.  And, one for Super Anti-Spyware.
Two great programs that I don't like to be without, when running any OS.
Other than that, I do like using software that I can get and use for FREE.

And, it never ceases to amaze me, just how much software is out there, that is available for FREE.

Y'all have a great day now, Y'hear?

PS:  My RSVP which I thought you would surely understand, was just an invitation for you to "Please respond to my post".  Originally RSVP was FRENCH, but has become in common use in the United States for longer than I've been alive.  Pardon moi!
