While ghost is a great backup type program it also has several other really uses. For starters if you need to move one drive to another. You could start from scratch on the new machine and install all your programs and copy over the important data, which again, is time consuming or you could just use ghost. Clone your disk and bring it over in one shot. Now I realize that in all likely hood the two drives will probably be different in size but with ghost that's no problem.
Ghost handles all the partitioning and formatting necessary to make it compatible.
You're up and running in no time. Also, since your two computers can be physically close to one another you don't even have to use a Jaz disk or anything to transfer the clone image. With laplink and short cable you can ghost your new machine on the spot. Luckily I don't have to deal with this, but if you're a tech support guy, IT manager or anybody that has to deal with a large number of computers then you'll spooge over ghost. The headaches and time it will save you is incredible.
