Norton Ghost 14 Advanced Backup and Recovery backs up and restores your whole PC! Restore corrupt files to non starting operating systems.
Though Norton Ghost can back up data to removable media, such as DVD-RW drives, it also works with an external or secondary internal hard drive. It places an icon in the system tray and works seamlessly in the background, creating complete backups and incrementally updating those backups daily.
Norton Ghost 14 Advanced Backup and Recovery has the same look and feel to other Symantec products. You can use the console to explore and restore files and folders from backups you've made, and you can manage backups with their easy-to-use tools. They allow you to manually delete or archive backups onto removable media, such a DVD-R drive, or have the software automatically delete old backups to save disk space. By default, the software creates a complete backup once a month and performs daily updates of the data that has changed.
In case of a real disaster, the Ghost installation disk also serves as a recovery disk. You can boot your PC from it and use its familiar Windows style interface to restore your PC to its previous running state.
The software's clever design gives you a great deal of power and flexibility, creating a complete backup each month and updating that backup daily. Backup updates only store changed files or settings to save disk space. It lets you recover from fatal situations, such as a virus infection or a hard disk crash, or more minor issues, such as accidentally deleting a file or a folder or a single corrupt file. You can even retrieve a file from a few days ago if you don't like the changes you've made in the meantime. Norton Ghost 14 Advanced Backup and Recovery has search and find functionality so you can find individual backed up files.
Norton Ghost 14 Advanced Backup and Recovery lets you easily explore the contents of your disk as it was a day or a week ago, retrieving older versions of files that have changed or been deleted. If you want you can also restore your entire disk to the state it was on a given day. The software can create restore points based on trigger events, such as installing a new piece of software or adding a certain amount of data to the disk. Then if something goes wrong you can restore your disk and system back to the state before you started.
Norton Ghost 14 Advanced Backup and Recovery has an optional password based AES 128-bit, 192-bit, or 256-bit encryption. This is especially useful for keeping data secure if you are making backups onto removable media, since external hard drives are vulnerable to theft.
Norton also offer an FTP backup where you can copy recovery points to a FTP site for easier offsite backup management, for those that may not have an external hard drive. This service backs up your files to NAS (Network-Attached Storage) devices.
Norton Ghost offers a 'Copy My Hard Drive' function that replicates the complete contents of one hard drive onto another - very helpful if you are upgrading your system drive to a larger hard disk or have bought a new PC and want to transfer the hard drive contents.
Norton Ghost 14 Advanced Backup and Recovery comes with a detailed manual, which guides you through installation and, if things go wrong, recovery. The software also includes a detailed help file and email support. Norton Ghost 14 Advanced Backup and Recovery comes with a 100% money back guarantee so you can try it completely risk free!
