Is anyone using Norton SystemWorks 2005? If so, could you tell me if
the Norton GoBack programme that comes on the disk is the full, or cut
down version? (Can't find this information on the Sysmantec site)

John.

I am using it, but haven't installed GoBack. It isn't my impression that
*any* of the programs in this suite are cut back versions. Oh, I should
add that I have the 'Premier' version.

However, I did make the mistake of buying it on Trademe - it may be an
original disk out of an oem box, but it came without the boot disk you
need for a system recover with Ghost 9. A real ****er. Fortunately Ghost
2003 is also on the disk and that one has a tool for making a recovery
boot disk ... so, be careful where you buy.

cheers, -Peter

I use TrueImage for image files so the lack of a Ghost boot disk isn't
a major problem for me (I intend to buy from TradeMe).
I'm using GoBack version 3 at the moment and thought that I might
upgrade to version 4, but the retail version of Norton GoBack v4 is
dearer than SystemWorks 2005 (purchased from Trademe) thence my
question re GoBack full version on the CD.

Regards,
John.

May be an ignorant question, but what are the key benefits to goback ?

This is from Symantec:

(Symantec+IBk-s Norton GoBack+ISI- 4.0 allows you to easily undo PC problems.
Restore your PC to a healthy state by going back minutes, hours, or
even days (depending on available disk space). Also use Norton GoBack
to restore files that have been deleted or modified, and to try new
software safely).

This from me:
I've been using GoBack for years even before "Roxio" purchased it
(from memory I think the original GoBack was NZ software).
I download and install a lot of software. Have a little play around
and if I don't like, or want what I've just installed it only takes a
couple of minutes to go back to the state before I installed the
software.
I also tend to delete without using the recycle bin and consequently
find that I need the file that I've just deleted, GoBack is great for
doing this.
Over written documents can be found and replaced, another thing I tend
to do on a regular basis (overwrite documents).

Regards,
John.

Nothing as XP already has it, (system restore) but I have read stacks of
reports that its very buggy.

NO it was Goback that is very buggy. and causes more problems that its
worth.

System Restore does work, but I find that if you know what you are doing you
do not need it..
