Introducing Norton Ghost™
This chapter includes the following topics:
■ Getting started
■ What's new in Norton Ghost 14.0
■ About the Advanced page
■ Where to find more information
Getting started
Norton Ghost provides advanced backup and recovery for your computer. Protect
your documents, financial records, presentations, photos, music, videos, historical
documents, or any other kinds of data you keep on your computer by making a
backup of your computer's entire hard disk. Or, limit your backup to include only
those files and folders that mean the most to you.
You can schedule backups to capture your changes automatically as you work
from day to day. Or start a backup manually at any time. You can also easily
configure Norton Ghost to run a backup in response to specific events. For example,
a backup can be started when a particular application is started, or when a specified
amount of new data has been added to the drive.
When you experience a problem with your computer, you can restore a file, folder,
or an entire drive, to return your computer to a previous, working state with the
operating system, applications, and data files intact. Or if you accidently delete
a personal file, get it back with a few simple steps.
