NGhost 15 is really good at what its main function is. To make a perfect image of your computer to allow easy disaster recovery or easily move from one computer to another when upgrading. It even supports off-site FTP copying, but it can be quite tedious if you have images of several gigabytes over a home internet connection.

For instance, you can't exclude specific paths from a backup. I want to backup my iTunes library, but I want to exclude the Podcasts folder from the backup. Can't do it. Another big caveat is that off-site FTP isn't supported for file backup. I can't figure out why Symantec couldn't implement that. That would be my real reason to use FTP. I already have a web hosting account with lots of space. File backup takes much less space than full ghosting so that would be fine to replicate over FTP... but alas... I can't rely on NGhost 15 for that. Pretty much all competitors are better than NG15 in this regard."
