    lantern,

    mirror please.
    We don't have access to those URLs.

    And if you have a change log, that would be nice.

    Starting from Ghost Solution Suite 3.0 HF2, Symantec Ghost Solution Suite supports the management of Windows 10 with limitations.

    The known limitations of Windows 10 client computers are as follows:
    For Windows 10, the Start and the Search option are disabled in the following scenarios:

    When a client computer boots into production after completing a Windows Create Image task with Prepare using Sysprep option.

    After deploying a Windows 10 Sysprep image on a client computer.

    It appears the actual imaging function should work well with Windows 10. The "Start" and "Search" option was about GhostCast imaging/deployment management.
    Thanks for the heads-up.

    Anyone tested a 64 bit Windows 8/8.1/10 backup/restore on a UEFI secure boot enabled computer? Did it work?

    Today I tested the latest version of Ghost. Sort of disappointing - on the same computer for the same backup job, Ghost took 29 min, Drive Snapshot took less than 5 min, and Acronis took about 8 min. Ghost and Acronis are both with high compression, while Drive snapshot with default compression level. The image file: ghost 18.3GB, Drive Snapshot 18.7GB and Acronis 17.8GB. Initial size of the OS drive is 28.6GB of data on a 120GB ssd.

    Why did Ghost take such a significantly longer time for a backup job, as compared to others?

    Same here... Ghost was one of the two disk imagers I relied on at the 2000/XP days, the other one being Acronis. Today's ghost even still uses the same GUI as the original ghost. Nostalgia, so true. Those were the good old days of PC.

    I managed to also put Acronis TI, Terabyte IFW, Macrium Reflect Free, Paragon HDM, Symantec System Recovery, StorageCraft Shadowprotect and Drive Snapshot on a Win10PE_SE boot USB. Also include ghost, however as you said, I just keep it on the USB, but not likely to use it until they change the disk image compression algorithm to make it faster.
