About using event log information to troubleshoot
problems

When Norton Ghost performs an action, it records the event (for example, when
a backup job runs). It also records program error messages.

You can use the event log to track down the source of problems or to verify the
successful completion of a backup job.

See

“Logging Norton Ghost messages”

on page 44.

Log entries provide information about the success or failure of numerous actions
that were taken by Norton Ghost or by a user. It offers a single view of all of the
information and program error messages.

The following information is included in the event log:

Indicates if the event is an error message or other information, such
as the successful completion of a backup job.

Type

Identifies if the message was generated by Norton Ghost or another
program.

Source

Displays the exact date and time that a selected event occurred.

Date

Offers additional details about an event that can help you troubleshoot
problems that might have occurred.
