Strengths: Easy to install. Save and backup easily. Cheap after rebate.

Weaknesses: Annoying daily backup scheduling

Summary: The installation of NSR2.0 is fast and easy. The software allows backing up and restoring of data very conveniently. It's really cheap or sometimes free after rebates. Doesn't seem to take up as much resource as most other Norton program does, but the daily backup routine is very annoying.

Strengths: Easy backup. Rebates.

Weaknesses: None

Summary: This is nice backup software. You can make a backup of the whole drive, folders, or selected file types (pictures, music, and etc). So, you actually need big storage space. It is very simple to operate, and there was no problem at installation in Windows XP. I bought this with mail-in rebates, so the final cost was only $3. The rebate came in within a month as prepaid Visa cards.

Another point, the software is very cheap if you would do the most reliable rebates from Symantec.
