Norton Ghost is a Windows program for creating backup copies of important files and recovering them in case of data corruption or hardware failure. Moreover, you can compress information to free up disk space. Instruments for encrypting sensitive files are provided.

Backup functionality

Similar to Dell Backup and Recovery Manager, users are able to configure whole system backups or select specific directories. It is possible to choose the target folder for storing the data. Additionally, tools for scheduling regular automatic backups to a removable storage device or cloud server are available.

This utility can be integrated with the Symantec Endpoint Protection antivirus software. The backup operation will be performed automatically upon detecting a potential threat.

There are instruments for restoring mistakenly deleted or damaged information. You can sort the contents by name or creation date.

It is important to note that there is a free 30-day trial version of Norton Ghost. Users are prompted to purchase a license to remove the restrictions.
