I've got Ghost 12 and the jury is still out.

It's fine for imaging & restoring ... but I'm encountering problems on
systems that it's installed on that have yet to be explained.  On two of
the three machines I have ghost installed on, I've been getting "An
error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\D during a paging
operation" messages in the system event log.

When I uninstalled ghost from one of those machines, the errors went
away.  I'm going to try reinstalling Ghost on that machine and see if
the messages come back.  If so, I'll open a ticket with Symantec to see
if they can offer any advice.
