DescriptionFeature
Norton Ghost has been designed and tested to run in the new Windows Vista operating
system, and still supports previous versions of Windows.
See “System requirements” on page 19.
Windows Vista support
Now setting up your first backup is even easier with the enhanced Easy Setup, which
appears either during install (unless you choose to skip it), or automatically the first
time you run Norton Ghost. Specify a few preferences, and Norton Ghost can start
backing up your computer on a regular basis.
Improved Easy Setup
Limit your backup to include a select set of files or folders. File and folder backups are
especially useful if your backup storage space is limited and you make frequent changes
to important documents that you want to back up.
File and folder backup
Need to back up your data quickly? The new One Time Backup feature lets you define
and run a backup at any time without saving the backup job for later use.
One Time backups
Search for and recover files stored in recovery points using Google Desktop™.Desktop search engine
support
Convert recovery points to one of two virtual disk formats for use in a virtual
environment.
Convert a recovery point
to virtual disk format
Restore a computer from a remote location, regardless of the state of the computer,
provided that its file system is intact.
LightsOut Restore
You can now easily edit your existing backup schedules without having to click through
multiple dialogs or complete the entire backup wizard again.
Simplified schedule editor
Because recovery points and file and folder backup data require storage space, Norton
Ghost gives you the freedom of where and how to handle the amount of disk space used
for storing backup data. Norton Ghost offers simple tools for managing your backup
data, and can even manage it for you automatically.
Manage backup data
The home page offers the backup protection status in a single view. But you can also
use the new Backups Calendar to view past and upcoming scheduled backups to see how
protected your data really is.
Improved backup and
recovery status
Norton Ghost automatically detects when a new storage device is connected to your
computer, and can prompt you to change your default backup destination to the new
drive.
Automatic backup
destination detection
Enhanced browsing of files and folders inside recovery points makes recovery quick and
easy; the new file and folder backup feature also lets you quickly search for and recover
files or folders.
