Norton Ghost 15.0 provides several options for backing up and restoring PCs. Computers can be backed up manually at any time or else configured to run defined backups automatically on a regular basis. Full system backup backs up everything on a hard drive or partition. File and folder backup backs up only specified files and folders rather than an entire drive. Incremental and differential backup saves only files that have changed. The software can find and back up specified file types such as photos, MP3 files, and documents.

Backup files can be stored on a variety of media or offsite on network-attached storage devices or sites accessed via FTP.

Here are some notable features of this product:

• Backups are compressed to minimize storage space and encrypted for security. The product supports Windows 7 BitLocker drive encryption.
• A virtualization conversion wizard converts physical images for use in VMware instances.
• Cold imaging allows file backups without installing Ghost.
• LightsOut Restore restores a system with an on-disk software recovery environment; no bootable CD is required.
• Incremental backups can be triggered whenever Symantec ThreatCon reaches a specified threat level. Other triggers can be set, such as new program installations or sudden increases in data storage.
