Protects your computer with advanced backup and recovery
Symantec’s Norton Ghost 12.0 protects your computer with advanced backup and recovery. It includes the backup protection you expect, with powerful new features such as enhanced performance, available one-to-one remote management, LightsOut Restore capability, and more. With Norton Ghost 12.0 you now have a choice of backup types: full system (disk image) or specific files and folders. Backups include encryption and error checking to help keep your data safe and sound, while compression, incremental backups, and automatic backup file management minimizes storage space. Norton Ghost 12.0 is ready when you need to recoverwhether it’s just restoring individual files or your entire system. The included Software Recovery Disk allows you to start your computer, scan for viruses or hard disk errors, and start the recovery process even if your operating system won’t start. With the advanced tools included in Norton Ghost 12.0, you can take your protection to the next level. Included remote management can back up other computers on your network that have Norton Ghost 12.0 installed and LightsOut Restore lets you install the Software Recovery Environment on your hard-disk so you’ll always be ready to recover. Take your backup protection to the next level with Norton Ghost 12.0.
