Select the version of SNMP traps to be sent (Version 1 or Version 2), and then
click OK.
The Norton Ghost management information base (MIB) is an enterprise MIB. It
contains the Norton Ghost SNMP trap definitions. All Network Management
System (NMS) applications have options to load a MIB. You can use any of these
options to load the Norton Ghost MIB. If you do not load the MIB, the NMS
application will still receive and display the traps, but the traps will not be
displayed in informative text. The .MIB file, named BESR_MIB.MIB, is located in
the Support folder on the Norton Ghost product CD.
You can configure how Norton Ghost reports the status of a particular drive (or
all file and folder backups).
For example, if drive D contains unimportant data and you have chosen not to
include it in a drive-based backup, the status on the Home page continues to report
that your computer is at risk. You can configure Norton Ghost to ignore drive D
so that it does not calculate the status of drive D in the Backup Status panel on
the Home page.
Or, you can specify that only errors, such as missed or failed backups, are to be
figured in to the status report.
Note: The backup status of each drive is reported throughout the product, wherever
the drive is listed. When you customize status reporting for a drive, the status is
reflected anywhere that the drive is listed in Norton Ghost.
You should first determine how important the data is on a particular drive (or the
data you have included in a file and folder backup) before deciding on the level of
status reporting to assign to it.
