80 Backing up files and folders
Defining a file and folder backup
4 Select the files and folders you want to include in your backup, and then click
Next.
Selecting file types lets Norton Ghost find and include files that match the
files you want backed up. If a file type is not included in the predefined list,
click Add File Type. You can also manually select folders or individual files.
Note: On all versions of Windows, except for Windows Vista, the My
Documents folder contains two subfolders by default: My Pictures and My
Music. These folders contain only the shortcuts to folders at another location
and not the actual files. This might lead you to think that by including My
Documents and all subfolders in your backup, your picture and music files
will get backed up.
If you intend to back up your pictures and music files, be sure to include the
actual folders where your files are stored. On Windows Vista, these folders
exist at the same level as Documents (formerly, My Documents).

In the Name box, type a name for your new backup.
6
In the Description (optional) box, type a description for the new backup.
7
Click Browse to locate a folder for storing your backup data or accept the
default location.
Note: You cannot use an encrypted folder as your backup destination. If you
want to encrypt your backup data to prevent another user from accessing it,
refer to the next step.

To modify advanced options, click Advanced. Do any of the following:
Click Use password, and then type a password.
Use standard characters, not extended characters or symbols. You must
type this password before you restore a backup or view its contents.
For an additional level of security, click Use encryption to encrypt your
file data.
In the Exclude group box, uncheck any of the folders you want to include
in your backup.
The folders listed are typically not used for storing personal files or folders.
These folders are backed up when you define and run a drive-based backup
of your system drive (typically C).
