(This is my first fully negative review of software. Normally I wouldn't bother anyone...)
Like most users, by the time you've bought a Vista backup program you already experienced or dealt with issues and solved a large number of them. I'm no different in that repect; my expectations are low so that I'm never disappointed. Well, I'm more than disappointed in S&R 2.

Rating: - Destined to be shelfware
What good can I say about this product? They really screwed up everything that could be screwed up. The interface is cluttered. Options that should be together are spread throughout the program. It won't back up a network-attached drive, which makes it pretty close to worthless for people with home networks.
If you want to cherry pick your backups, you might expect a tree view where you could click all the folders you want to back up. Sorry. You pick them through a chooser, and it is a ... Read More
Rating: - Image Backup thats Simple and Works
I use Save & Restore 2.0 (and before that V1.0).
When my system got corrupted after installing MS trial software (and MS tech support was unable to resolve the issue) I was able to quickly restore my system (Vista OS) with Norton's Save & Restore 2.0 and the CD boot disk that comes with the software.

Look, this is a waste of your time. Indian support which gives you no answers. Ran for 48 hours and failed three times. It just doesn't work. If you want something that works and has great support look for NovaBACKUP. These guys really work with you and make sure the product does what it claims. It's the same price and 1000 times better.
I rely heavily on Reviews when I shop at Amazon, so wanted to be sure and make sure to warn people as well as recommend things as I buy them. Norton did ... Read More
Rating: - Disk-to-Disk Backup useless
I wanted a simple way to clone my laptop drive to an external drive so that in the event of a failure, I could simply swap the drives. The software seemed to work just fine and gave no error messages. I swapped drives to test and guess what, I was unable to logon to Windows. It would prompt me for my password and then say "logging off". I have used shareware software that worked better, albiet slower. I would not recommend this software for anyone looking to perform full didsk-to-disk backups.
