Looking for software that can backup my system (OS) setting/configuration, can also perform full & incremental backup.

Last time using HP Backup and Recovery Manager + System Restore (Windows).
But the HP Backup is not so convenience and the System Restore got problem cannot perform restore.
Now plan to reformat my PC and to install new Backup software.

I came across Norton Ghost 14.0, it seems like meet my criteria, but need an advice..


Features
Full system backup (disk image)—Backs up everything on a hard drive or partition.
File and folder backup—Backs up only the specific files and folders you choose rather than saving an entire drive.
FTP backup—Copies recovery points to a FTP site for easier offsite backup management. NEW
Offsite backup—backs up your files to NAS (Network-Attached Storage) devices. NEW
Symantec ThreatCon integration— triggers incremental backups whenever ThreatCon reaches a specified threat level. Great for computers without virus protection. NEW
Incremental and differential backup—Backs up only files that have changed.
EXCLUSIVE! Google Desktop™ integration—Makes data recovery even faster with searchable backup indexes.
LightsOut Restore—Restores your system with an on-disk software recovery environment—no bootable CD required.
EXCLUSIVE!: Remote management—Controls other Norton Ghost installations (12.0 or higher) on your local area network.
Advanced compression and encryption—Minimizes storage space and helps keep sensitive documents safe.

Ohh wow!! never use this before... kind of cool and simple. But can you comment on Norton Ghost 14.0? ~ i read the features kind of interesting also..

U can try Synology Data REplicator 3 (free ) but it cannot backup your system image...

Acronis True Image can do it...
