How to restore an image with Symantec Ghost software

Select image / partition / from image.
Go to the storage drive and select the image file.
Next select the target drive, note there are two drives here, one is the target drive (top) and the source drive (bottom). Becareful you will over write the storage drive if it is a hard drive!
Proceed? This is your last chance to insure you are on the correct drive, look as the white writing at the lower half of the screen, it tells you about the image file and the target drive.
Progress indicator, this drive was being imaged from an external USB hard drive, it is slow because the port on the target computer is a ver 1.1 USB port, very slow.
Image now on the target drive, you can restart now or shut down the system and remove the external drive if it is a bootable device. Restart and Enjoy!

If the image is fairly new then your data restore from your back up should go quickly. If the image is pretty old and you had installed software programs since the image was made you will have to reinstall those also. The idea is to make an image when you feel there has been significant changes to your software programs.

And remember: Your recovery is only as good as your last backup!
