Managing Recovery Point Storage - Symantec GHOST - V 15.0 Manual

Managing recovery point storage

stored at several locations on your computer, Norton Ghost locates all Word
documents (files that end with .doc) and includes them in your backup. You can
even edit the list of file types to include types unique to the software you use.
Norton Ghost also keeps multiple versions of the same files for you, so that you
can restore the version of a file that contains the changes you need to restore.
You can even set a limit to the number of versions that are kept so that you can
control the use of disk space.
Norton Ghost includes several features that help you manage your backup data.
The key is to prevent backup data from taking lots of hard disk space on your
computer. And, to also provide adequate backup protection in the event that you
need to recover your computer, files, or folders.
