Compression levels (continued)
Description Compression level
This option uses high compression for a 50 percent average
data compression ratio on recovery points. This setting is
usually the slowest method.
When a high compression recovery point is created, CPU
usage might be higher than normal. Other processes on the
computer might also be slower. To compensate, you can
adjust the operation speed of Norton Ghost. This might
improve the performance of other resource-intensive
applications that you are running at the same time.

Running a one-time backup from Norton Ghost
You can use One Time Backup to quickly define and run a backup that creates an
independent recovery point from Norton Ghost. You use the One Time Backup
Wizard to define the backup. The backup runs when you complete the Wizard.
The backup definition is not saved for future use. You can use the independent
recovery point later.
This feature is useful when you need to back up your computer or a particular
drive quickly before a significant event. For example, you can run a one-time
backup before you install new software. Or, you can run it when you learn about
a new computer security threat.
You can also use Symantec Recovery Disk to create one time cold backups.
See “About running a one-time backup from Symantec Recovery Disk” on page 76.
