Customizing the status reporting of a drive (or file
and folder backups)
Use the scroll bar at the bottom of the calendar to scroll backward or
forward in time.
You must install and configure the Windows SNMP service on your computer in
order for SNMP traps to work from Norton Ghost.
By default, Norton Ghost is not enabled to send traps to NMS managers. You can
configure Norton Ghost 15.0 to send SNMP traps for different priority and
notification types.
To configure Norton Ghost to send SNMP traps
1 From the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Notifications tab.
2 Under Notifications are sent to the following, click SNMP trap, and then click
Properties.
3 In the SNMP Trap Notification Properties dialog, you can select the priority
and type of notifications that you want for generating the traps. You can also
select the version of SNMP traps to be sent (V1 or V2). Make your selections,
and then click OK.
Norton Ghost 15.0 will now send SNMP traps to all of the destinations set in
the Windows SNMP agent.
The Norton Ghost management information base (MIB) is an enterprise MIB, and
contains the Norton Ghost 15.0 SNMP trap definitions. All NMS applications have
options to load a MIB, and the Norton Ghost 15.0 MIB can be loaded using any of
those options. Even without loading the MIB, the NMS applications will still receive
and display the traps, but they 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
