Verifying That A Backup Is Successful; Editing Backup Settings - Symantec GHOST - V 15.0 Manual

Verifying that a backup is successful

Editing backup settings

On the Windows system tray, right-click the Norton Ghost tray icon, and
then click Cancel the Current Operation.
After a backup completes, you can validate the success of the backup from the
Status page to ensure you have a way to recover lost or damaged data.
The Status page contains a scrolling calendar that is aligned with each drive on
your computer. The calendar lets you quickly identify when a backup ran, and
what type of backup it was. It also identifies upcoming, scheduled backups.
See "Monitoring backup protection from the Status page"
Note: When you define a drive-based backup, you should select the option to verify
the recovery point after it is created.
Depending on the amount of data being backed up, this can significantly increase
the time it takes to complete the backup. However, it can ensure that you have a
valid recovery point when the backup finishes.
See "Verifying the integrity of a recovery point"
