Norton Ghost

Norton Ghost is a Windows application that allows you to create backups, conveniently store them and restore data. There is a built-in scheduler that allows you to create an archiving schedule. It supports file compression to free up space. Encryption can be activated to protect files, which will keep personal data safe.

Backups

A large number of settings are provided for the archiving mode. You can archive the entire system disk or only certain directories. You can use a local directory, an external drive or synchronization with cloud storage as the archive storage location. It is possible to integrate with the ThreatCon module, which is included in Symantec Endpoint Protection (a popular antivirus). When an external threat is detected, an automatic backup will be launched. This will allow you to save your information, even after a large-scale damage to the system.

Restore

The application can be used to restore the original information after a failure or the need to reinstall the system. A common console is used for management. When working with the library, archives can be sorted by various parameters - name, date and so on. This allows you to quickly find the desired file.

Schedule

For important data, you can set up scheduled archiving. This ensures that the next copy is created without user intervention. The set of settings allows you to specify all the necessary parameters, including the frequency of archiving, a set of source data, a catalog, parameters of available space, and so on. Using the cloud service allows you to restore data even if the PC completely fails.
