To improve the protection level of a drive
1
On the Status page, select a drive that requires attention from the Drives
column.
2
In the Status section at the bottom of the page, right-click the backup you
want to modify, and then select one of the following menu items:
Runs the selected backup job immediately.Run Backup Now
Opens the Run When dialog so that you can edit the
backup schedule.
Change Schedule
Opens the Define Backup Wizard, which lets you
modify the backup definition.
This option takes you to the second page of the wizard.
Edit Settings
Opens the Define Backup Wizard from the beginning,
which lets you define a new backup.
This option is useful if a drive in the Drives column is
not yet assigned to a backup. By selecting a drive that
is assigned to an existing backup, you have access to
this short-cut method for starting the Define Backup
Wizard from the Status page.
Define New Backup
Deletes the backup that you have selected.
When you delete a backup, only the backup definition
is deleted. The backup data is not deleted (for example,
the recovery points or the file and folder backup data).
Remove Backup Job
Turns on or turns off the backup that you have
selected.
Disable (Enable) Backup
See “Editing backup settings” on page 87.
Using event log information to troubleshoot problems
When Norton Ghost performs an action, it records the event (for example, when
a backup job runs). It also records program error messages.
You can use the event log to track down the source of problems or to verify the
successful completion of a backup job.
See “Logging Norton Ghost messages” on page 42.
