Opening files and folders stored in a recovery point
If you are not sure which files you want to restore, you can locate, open and view
their contents using the Recovery Point Browser. From there, you can also restore
files and folders using the Recovery Point Browser.
See “Opening files within a recovery point” on page 121.
If you cannot find the files or folders you want
If you cannot find the files or folders that you want to restore by browsing through
a recovery point, you can use the Norton Ghost Explore feature. This feature
assigns a drive letter to a recovery point (mounts the recovery point) as if it were
a working drive. You can then use the Windows Explorer search feature to search
for the files. You can drag and drop files to restore them.
See “About exploring recovery points ” on page 119.
