Ghost 15 - 800706BE exception

I have been using Ghost v15 for backup for a couple of years now. I have started receiving an exception 800706be I have spent hours diagnosing this problem....poking around on the Internet for a fix....replacing my external hard disk, etc.....trying a process of elimination as to what the problem may be. Finally.....I tried Acronis and it works fine......no issues. I prefer to stay with Ghost .....however I am not sure if Ghost is a discontinued product.....it is not even listed in the products list below under Backup and Recovery.
