On the one hand we find the direct access called Status, which can be very helpful to control scheduled backups. These help us to streamline the work we carry out here, among other things.
We already mentioned before that the main interface of the program offers us a series of shortcuts located in the upper part of the window. at the same time we have the possibility to filter the backup search by date or by file size. Specifically, we mean that we can indicate to the program the drives or folders where we want to search. Here we will already have the possibility to define a more specific search. At that moment, a new window will appear on the screen where we can define more specific parameters to locate the file that interests us. Therefore the best we can do here is click on the link called advanced search. This can occur when we have a good number of copies and we do not know or cannot find the one we really need to recover at that moment. In the event that we have some problems when locating a specific backup that we want to recover, they are not Norton Ghost helps us. Thus, at this point, all we have to do is connect the unit where we save the copy, and select it through the Search button.
It is recommended in these cases that we store these Backup files on external drives such as an external hard drive or a USB memory. This will lead us to a new window in which we only have to select the backup file that we have saved. Selecting one or the other will depend on the type of backup that we initially defined, complete or custom.
in particular we find two elements of this type called Recover my PC and Recover My files.
At the same time a little further down we find two new shortcuts that allow us to carry out this same task. Here we have a shortcut also located in the upper right corner called Recover. Recovery file typesįor all this that we are commenting on, again we recommend that you go to the main interface of the program. This allows us that in the event that some type of serious error has occurred in our PC, once everything has been solved, we can recover what is stored in the Backup.
Of course, this is an application that will not only help us to customize and configure our own backups, but we can also recover them. This will give way to a new configuration window that allows us to have more control over the backup. In order to be able to access them, in the window that we define where we are going to store the backup, we also find a button that says Advanced. Something that we must bear in mind is that as we add content, both the size of the result and the time spent will increase.Īnother aspect that can be very interesting here are the advanced options that the program itself presents to us to have greater control over the process. In the new window that appears we will have the possibility to choose the folders that we want to include in the Backup. On the other hand, in the event that we only need to make a backup copy of certain content, we can configure and customize the process further. Therefore it is easy to imagine that in the event that we want or need a complete copy of the entire equipment, we will find ourselves by the second option mentioned. Specifically, we refer to the possibility of making a backup copy of a series of folders that we ourselves select, or of all the units that My PC houses. Everything will depend on the needs of each case or the type of cow that we want to carry out. In fact, we find one of them when we click on the Define new backup option.Īt this point, say that here we have the possibility to choose between two available options. These will be of great help to us since they greatly facilitate its operation. Specify the type of backupīefore continuing, we will indicate that Norton Ghost offers us a series of useful assistants when carrying out the tasks that it puts at our disposal. This takes us to a drop-down list where we can define a new task or execute an existing one. If what we want is to start from the beginning with this type of work, say that in the upper right corner of the main interface we find a link called Backups.
How to back up to Norton GhostĪs it could not be otherwise, the main task that this application presents us is to make our own personalized backup copies. In the event that we want to delve a little more into the operation of this application and see everything it offers us, at the top we find a series of menus. Similarly, in this initial interface we find various links that lead us to the most common functions with Norton Ghost, as well as the destination drive that we have predefined for copies.
