Enabling event-triggered backups
Norton Ghost can detect certain events and run a backup when they occur.
For example, to protect your computer when you install new software, Norton
Ghost can run a backup when it detects that new software is being installed. If a
problem occurs that harms your computer, you can use this recovery point to
restore your computer to its previous state.
You can configure Norton Ghost to automatically run a backup when the following
events occur:
■
Any application is installed
■
A specified application is started
■
Any user logs on to Windows
■
Any user logs off of Windows
■
The data added to a drive exceeds a specified number of megabytes
This option is unavailable for file and folder backups.
