Symantec Norton Ghost Software

Norton Ghost 12 takes data and system protection to the next level with powerful new features such as remote management, Google Desktop integration, and LightsOut Restore. Support for one-to-one remote management enables users to back up other Norton Ghost clients on the network. Integration with Google Desktop allows users to create searchable backup indexes to make recovering data even faster. LightsOut Restore enables users to restore their systems from a remote location via an on-disk software recovery environment, obviating the need to use a bootable CD. Norton Ghost 12 also includes a software recovery disk that allows users to start their computers, scan for viruses or hard disk errors, and launch the recovery process even if the operating system does not start.

In addition, with Norton Ghost 12, users can now choose to do full system backups or to back up only specific files and folders, or both! Backups include encryption and error checking to keep data safe, while compression, incremental backups, and automatic backup file management minimizes storage space. Users can also use Norton Ghost to convert recovery points of a physical computer to a virtual disk. Additionally, users can leverage Norton Ghost for customizable, event-triggered backups that automatically protect systems when specific events occur.
