DescriptionFeature
To help you more easily identify external
drives for use as backup destinations, Norton
Ghost lets you assign an alias to each
external drive. Doing so does not change the
drive label, but is for use only when you are
accessing those drives from within Norton
Ghost.
See “Using aliases for external drives”
on page 41.
Create and manage aliases for your external
drives
Symantec ThreatCon is Symantec's early
threat warning system. You can now
configure Norton Ghost to detect a change
in the threat level whenever your computer
is connected to the Internet. When the threat
level meets or exceeds the level you specify,
Norton Ghost automatically starts a backup
job. You can specify a different ThreatCon
level for each backup.
See “Enabling Symantec ThreatCon
Response” on page 88.
