Backup copies can take a long time, 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. 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.Īs efficient and easy to use as it is, Norton Ghost requires just one thing: patience.
Norton Ghost can also create an exact copy of your hard drive (with all the existing files, programs and settings). Of course, Norton Ghost lets you change any of these settings later on in the program’s configuration menu. The backup copies can be conveniently scheduled and restored at any time, should the worst happen. You can configure as many different backup tasks in Norton Ghost as you need, each one of them with its own settings.
