Norton Ghost | Open Source Alternative - osalt.com

Open source Norton Ghost alternatives

Norton Ghost is almost the ultimate solution when it comes to backing up your data. It backs up everything on your harddisks including operating system. Even if you have a complete harddisk failure - your entire system can be brought to life on a new harddisk. Norton Ghost even supports incremental backup, so that you don't have to make a complete backup of you system each time. Norton Ghost backups to external hardisks attached to you USB or Firewire (IEEE 1394) ports - or burns your backups to CDs or DVDs. It also allows you to backup to network shares on either a normal file server or Network Attached Storage (NAS) or even a FTP server.
