“Automatically back up and recover everything on your computer”

by Elena Santos

Probably the worst nightmare that all computer users have is losing their precious data in a terrible system breakdown. But hey, that's what backup copies were invented for. And with Norton Ghost they're now easier to manage.

Norton Ghost helps you backup your whole hard drive – or just selected folders – to another partition, a networked drive or an external storage device. Backup copies can be conveniently scheduled and also restored at any time, should the worst happen.

The program includes an intuitive step-by-step wizard that walks you through the whole process and provides you with all the available options. You can configure as many different backup tasks as you need, each one of them with its own settings, and also create an exact copy of your hard drive (with all the existing files, programs and settings). When backing up the whole drive, Norton Ghost will also create a restoration point that will enable you to recover your system in case something goes horribly wrong.

As efficient and easy to use as it is, Norton Ghost requires just one thing: patience. Backup copies can take a long time to be completed, so you should probably leave the program running in the background while doing something else – or even better, schedule backups to take place when you don't need to use the PC.

Norton Ghost is a reliable, powerful and easy to use backup tool that prevents you from losing any important in the case of a computer disaster.
