Description of the Norton Save & Restore 2.0 Protect what you care about with Norton Save & Restore 2.0. Incorporating superiorsystem recovery and computer backup technologies, this data recovery software brings backup technology to the next level.
The popular norton Ghost imaging and backup program is dead. Long live Norton Save & Restore--a direct successor that completes the degeekification that Symantec initiated with Ghost 10 a mere six months ago. This move is good news for click-and-pray users, as there's now virtually no way to mess up a backup if you follow the prompts.
Still, aside from the new name and a few tweaks to the renovation, the only major added feature is the (exceedingly handy) ability to back up files and folders by selection or filter. Ghost 10 imaged only entire partitions, so the new ability can save you a lot of time and space. There's also tighter integration with Symantec's Protection Center, which includes virus protection and will invoke a Save & Restore backup if it detects a serious virus threat.
