During A Back Up; When A Back Up Is Finished - Symantec GHOST - V 15.0 Manual

During a back up

When a back up is finished

Keep personal data on a separate
drive than the drive on which
Windows and your software
programs are installed.
Verify the recovery point after you
create it to ensure that it is stable.
If you are working at your computer and a back up starts to run, you might notice
that the performance of your computer slows down. Norton Ghost requires
significant system resources to run a back up. If slowing occurs, you can reduce
the speed of the back up to improve computer performance until you are finished
working.
See "Adjusting the speed of a backup"
After a back up finishes, consider the following best practices:
Review the contents of recovery
points and file and folder backup
data.
Best practices for backing up your data
You should keep your operating system and software
programs separate from your own data. It speeds the
creation of recovery points and reduces the amount
of information that needs to be restored. For example,
use the C drive to run Windows and to install and run
software programs. Use the D drive to create, edit,
and store personal files and folders.
For other drive management solutions, go to the
Symantec Web site at the following URL:
www.symantec.com/.
When you define a backup, you should select the
option to verify the recovery point to ensure that the
recovery point can be used to recover lost data.
See "About choosing a backup type"
on page 94.
Periodically review the contents of your recovery
points to ensure that you back up only your essential
data.
For file and folder backups, click Recover My Files
from either the Home or Tasks pages. Then click
Search to display the latest version of all the files that
are included in your backup.

recovery point" on page 163.
