Re: Partition size for cloned drive

Not necessarily - the only Norton product I use is Ghost 2k4 and 2k5 - both
of these allow you to clone partition data/setup to what is actually
occupied (aka in use). On top of that, it gives you compression ability, to
make what you save smaller that what it actually occupies. The only caveat,
is you must restore the data to a like drive, formatted the same and using
the same cluster size, otherwise the restore fails. You can, go into the
ghost file itself, with the ghost browser, and restore specific files and/or
folders - all very similar to a backup. Lastly Ghost 2k5 added the hot
clone ability (in other words XP doesn't have to shutdown, do the clone, and
reboot where earlier versions did), where a virtual file system copy is
made, then this is what is cloned to the backup location. Unlike other
modern Norton products, I'm very satisfied with this software and its
abilities.
