Using easy-to-follow wizards, set up fast and reliable backups that run while you
continue to work. Or schedule your backups to run after hours when you are no
longer using your computer.
When disaster strikes, Norton Ghost helps you recover your computer from the
effects of many common problems, including
■ Virus attacks: Damage might be done before a virus is quarantined.
■ Faulty software installations: Some software can negatively affect your
computer's performance, slowing it down to the point that opening programs
or documents can require too much time. But once installed, uninstalling a
product might not recover unintentional damage done during an install.
■ Hard drive failure: Data can become corrupted on your system drive (typically
C), making it impossible to start your operating system
■ Files accidentally deleted or overwritten: Accidental deletion of files is common,
but often costly.
■ Corrupted files: Individual files and folders can become corrupted by viruses,
or when a program used to modify them encounters an error.
