Symantec Unveils Norton Save & Restore

Internet security firm Symantec Corp. has released Norton Save& Restore, an automated backup and recovery solution for home personal computer users to preserve valuable digital content, such as photos, documents, music, and financial information.

Symantec claims with Norton Save & Restore users can save their items through pre-defined backups of common folders and file types. It can perform scheduled, on-demand, or event-driven backups to a wide range of media. Utilising, Symantec’s disk imaging Norton Ghost, Norton Save & Restore also allows users the option to create an exact image of their entire hard drive without leaving the operating system or rebooting.

"Home computer users, especially families, store a wide range of important information on their PCs, from financial data to photos, email, address books, music, and more," said Rowan Trollope, vice president of consumer products and solutions at Symantec. "At the same time, threats to the safety of that data are increasing, including spyware, hacking attacks, tampering, and theft as well as hardware and software failures, user error, and even natural disasters. By simplifying backup and recovery, Norton Save & Restore helps protect the digital treasures that consumers care about most."

Norton Save & Restore can automatically scan the user’s system and recommend which drives, files, and folders should be backed up and automatically determines the best location to store backups. Along with Norton Internet security, it can automatically initiate a backup whenever it is notified about a virus or worm outbreak. And the backup files can also be password-protected.
