Actually, it is the program that gave name to "Ghosting:" It's now (for a long time) owned by Norton / Symantec:

Quote:
Ghost is a disk cloning program, originally produced by Binary Research, but purchased by Symantec on June 24, 1998. The Ghost program launched the market for disk-cloning software. The name Ghost originated as an acronym for "General Hardware-Oriented System Transfer".
