Have to say that I'm impressed with Ghost 9. They took DI 7 and added some nice additional features. Very good product and it works with images that were made with DI7. Found that out by necessity. But the recovery boot-up in agonizingly slow, afterwards the restore goes quickly.

I'm very tempted to jump in on this deal. What other additional features did they add? I've never used DI v7.
DI v7 was the first version to remove the DOS element in imaging. Its one of the reasons why its not on my restore CDs, it takes an additional 5-10 mins more just to get into the GUI to restore an image.
Its a good product, just didn't like having to have to use the GUI. I'm going to get this tonight. Hell only $5 where can I go wrong?
Most important one I can see is ability to make incremental BUs. Now, I haven't installed it yet because I couldn't decide which PC to put it on, but I've used it as I said to restore an image and now that I got my NSW 2005 I'll probably put it on this one and the NSW on my soon to be repaired box. NSW says it has full feature Ghost and I hope that means it's the same as Ghost 9.
DI 7 and this( I assume) are very fast to make an image. mine does a 6GB drive image in about 6-7 minutes including verifying the image. Does not require booting to DOS, works in Windows XP ( requires .NET Framework).
But the recovery boot-up in agonizingly slow, afterwards the restore goes quickly.
well, then, maybe there isn't much different.
