Editorial Review

Norton Save and Restore empowers you to protect the data that you care most about. With Save and Restore, you can automatically back up and recover everything on your computer quickly and easily. You get all the protection of Symantec's award-winning Norton Ghost software, plus new, faster ways to save cherished family mementos and other essential files.

Norton Save and Restore's Define Backup Wizard makes it easy to create a backup solution that works for your needs.

In addition to all the power and security of Symantec's Norton Ghost technology, Save and Restore gives you faster ways than ever before to back up your files. In just one easy step, you can back up your entire hard-drive of data. Imagine, in one easy step. all of your digital photos, family videos, key financial records, essential computer system files, and other data can be backed-up. No more sleepless night worry about computer crashes; with Restore and Save, you can create and store your data worry-free. In fact, you can recover your system and data even when you can't restart your operating system.

To maximize space and save time, Restore and Save makes incremental backups and also makes backups on the fly, without restarting your system. You can back up your data to almost any media, including CDR/RW and DVD+-R/RW drives, USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) external storage devices, and Iomega Zip and Jaz drives.

A one-step setup wizard automatically creates an initial backup schedule based on your computer's storage devices and system settings, and the software then automatically monitors and optimizes backup disk space. You can also program it to trigger backups on key events, such as new program installations or user logins. And for added security, your backups are encrypted, giving you even more comfort knowing that your data is safe.

While Restore and Save builds on many of the same features found in Norton Ghost 10.0, there are several significant enhancements that make this a must-have application for anyone who cares about their data. For instance, a file and folder back up feature lets you choose specific files and folders to save, rather than having to save an entire drive. Restore and Save can also protects all files of a certain type (such as photos or documents) by finding and backing up the exact file types you indicate. The software also features a single easy-to-use interface, thanks to its integration with Norton Protection Center console, that makes managing your Norton security applications easier than ever. And lastly, and perhaps most importantly, an “Outbreak Alert” trigger automatically initiates a back up when Norton Internet Security 2006 is notified about a virus or worm outbreak. (This feature requires the installation of Norton Internet Security 2006, which is sold separately.)
