Using the Norton Ghost Agent
The Norton Ghost Agent is the unseen “engine” that does the actual backing up
and restoring of data on a remote computer. Because the Norton Ghost Agent
functions as a service, it does not have a graphical interface.
See “Managing the agent through Windows Services” on page 98.
See “Controlling access to Norton Ghost ” on page 103.
