Former Ghost 15 user - Getting trapped in the SSR 2013 Trial
A few days ago I had an issue with doing a system restore using Ghost 15. I went to that forum for help and learned that Symantec was going to discontinue Ghost and recommended users "check out" SSR 2013 with its free trial. I downloaded the free trial and eventually learned it would not install unless I first remove Ghost. That wasn't from anything that I saw when the SSR installation failed; that happened without any additional information. However, I did eventually find my way to this forum and a helpful Guru pointed out the issue and also that I could always re-install Ghost if I wasn't happy with SSR. I uninstalled Ghost, installed SSR, and started backing stuff up. Now, if one of the things you want to do is a full system restore (my primary interest) then you need a recovery disk. SSR will make a recovery disk for you and all you need to do is provide an activation key which you don't get with the trial version. No problem, as all I need to do is install Ghost. But I can't install Ghost until I uninstall SSR. And SSR WILL NOT UNINSTALL. Whenever I try to uninstall it there's an Error 2738 and something about a VBasic error. So now I have a trial verision of a program that I can't use and a paid for program I can no longer load. I guess it can all be fixed if I pay Symantec for an activation key for a program that I'm not sure I want in the hopes it will maybe allow me to upgrade to a latter version that can uninstall so I can install the program I uninstalled so I could evaluate the Free Trial. To put it another way, I may have to pay Symantec to I can remove their free software and load back the software I paid them for as well. And, even it it turns out there's a simple, and hopefully less expensive, way out of this I've still wasted a lot of time on what should be a free trial of a comercial product which appears to be more of an alpha test. (If I sound upset, it's because I really am)

problems with network targetting
Dear all, I am still testing Symantecs Backup Exec System Recovery 2010, if this product fits our needs (simple to use, reliable). I installed it without any problems on my win 7 professional computer (32 bit, 2x 3 GHz CPU and 3 GB of RAM). To establish a new backup, I run the wizard. Source: My documents. Target: Microsoft Sky Drive, which is already mappd via Gladinet. (on both accounts, user and admin, successfully) After finishing 5%. I get an Error: "Cannot establsih network connection." Ok, Maybe Microsoft servers might be overloaded or slow or whatever. I tried it again 4 or 5 times. Same problem. OK, maybe, Symatec does not like / ork with skydrive or misconfigured or what ever. But same problems with t-online and 1&1 cloud. I was confused because my username for skdrive is an emailadress. Symtaec chaned it from "name@domain.de" to "domain/myname" http://screencast.com/t/6G0Qgqng Ok, last try, maybe there are still bugs in it regarding the cloud. I gave another computer in the 1 GBIT LAN as a target (win xp sp3). After ~ 40% error. 2nd try. Same procedure. Error exist... What can I do ? Best tsunami
