error messages and warnings, you can choose to save them
in a log file on your computer, or to have them emailed to an

you can enable SNMP Traps support to send notifications to
you NMS application.
See “Configuring Norton Ghost to send SNMP traps” on page 112.
SNMP Trap
To configure default options
1
Start Norton Ghost and click Tasks > Options.
2
Select an option you want to modify, make any necessary changes, and then
click OK.
Selecting a default backup destination
You can specify the default destination for storing recovery points and file and
folder backup data created when you run a backup. This default location is used
if you do not specify a different location when you define a new backup.
To set a default backup destination
1
On the menu bar, click Tasks > Options.
2
Click General.
3
Check Prepend computer name to backup data file names.
This is especially useful if you back up more than one computer to the same
drive. For example, you might back up a laptop and a desktop computer to
the same USB or network drive. By prepending the computer name to each
backup data file name, you can more easily identify which backup data files
belong to which computer.
