Amazon.com Norton Save and Restore empowers you to protect the data that you care most about. With Save and Restore, you can automatically back up and recover everything on your computer quickly and easily. You get all the protection of Symantec's award-winning Norton Ghost software, plus new, faster ways to save cherished family mementos and other essential files. 
Norton Save and Restore's Define Backup Wizard makes it easy to create a backup solution that works for your needs. | In addition to all the power and security of Symantec's Norton Ghost technology, Save and Restore gives you faster ways than ever before to back up your files. In just one easy step, you can back up your entire hard-drive of data. Imagine, in one easy step. all of your digital photos, family videos, key financial records, essential computer system files, and other data can be backed-up. No more sleepless night worry about computer crashes; with Restore and Save, you can create and store your data worry-free. In fact, you can recover your system and data even when you can't restart your operating system. To maximize space and save time, Restore and Save makes incremental backups and also makes backups on the fly, without restarting your system. You can back up your data to almost any media, including CDR/RW and DVD+-R/RW drives, USB and FireWire (IEEE 1394) external storage devices, and Iomega Zip and Jaz drives. A one-step setup wizard automatically creates an initial backup schedule based on your computer's storage devices and system settings, and the software then automatically monitors and optimizes backup disk space. You can also program it to trigger backups on key events, such as new program installations or user logins. And for added security, your backups are encrypted, giving you even more comfort knowing that your data is safe. While Restore and Save builds on many of the same features found in Norton Ghost 10.0, there are several significant enhancements that make this a must-have application for anyone who cares about their data. For instance, a file and folder back up feature lets you choose specific files and folders to save, rather than having to save an entire drive. Restore and Save can also protects all files of a certain type (such as photos or documents) by finding and backing up the exact file types you indicate. The software also features a single easy-to-use interface, thanks to its integration with Norton Protection Center console, that makes managing your Norton security applications easier than ever. And lastly, and perhaps most importantly, an "Outbreak Alert" trigger automatically initiates a back up when Norton Internet Security 2006 is notified about a virus or worm outbreak. (This feature requires the installation of Norton Internet Security 2006, which is sold separately.)

Bloatware December 23, 2007 I downloaded and tried 10 backup programs today. I am preparing for a rebuild and was looking for a backup program that would do normal backups, differential backups, and scheduled differential backups. XP backup (ntbackup) works well but I had to create a password for my Windows logon so booting up always took two steps. The only reason I installed a Norton program on my hard drive was because I am replacing the drive. Using this program reminded me why I gave up on Norton a few years ago. Why is this program so large? It doesn't really do that much. It does much less than some of the smaller programs I tried. Just the "updater" took several minutes to download and two re-boots. That wasn't an error; it just took that much time and work. I used to see the "updater" screen often when I had my last Norton product and this was not a pleasant reminder. This program is not user friendly and specifying files and folders in not intuitive. This program specializes in file "types" (photos, music, etc.) I am supposed to trust Norton to select which files I am going to back up. Yeah, right. It does not even perform differential backups. Performing a search for "differential" in help yielded no results. StorageSync works well for syncing and non-compressed files but had no scheduling capabilities. Nero seemed difficult to use, and did not spend much time with it because it changes the restored file dates to the restore date. Genie worked well but had no differential and scheduling requires a password. Acronis TrueImage also requires a password for scheduling. Handy Backup got hung up on in-use files and had no differential backup. My favorite is Cyberlink PowerBackup. TurboBackup was my second favorite. It had some extra features but PowerBackup did everything I needed and was just a little more user friendly.
Much better than Ghost! July 4, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have been using this product for about six months on three high performance desktops. The good news is that if you have a standard desktop from a major manufacturer or you backup to another disk on your computer, this product will backup and recover with minimum effort. However, if you backup over a network and don't have a widely supported network adapter, things can get tough. RAID support is also iffy.
I have tested the restore on all three systems and the results were great on two systems, with fast, full recoveries on empty disks. The third couldn't find the network adapter on restore, even though it backed up over it without a problem. I'm hoping a newer version will fix that.
Still compared to the old Norton Ghost, this is a much better product at a better price. It appears that Symantec has integrated the LiveState technology into Ghost as well as this product, so the only real difference is feature sets. I use LiveState on my servers and think it is an excellent product. I bought Save and Restore because LiveState licenses for desktops and laptops were only available in 10 packs, but Save and Restore appears to be the same product licensed individually. After years of frustration using Ghost, I think Symantec finally has bought the technology that they have been promising in Ghost for so long.

Works well March 18, 2007 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I had recently purchased a new PC with a 250 GB hard drive and needed a proper backup system. I purchased the Norton S&R along with a WD 250 GB external hard drive. They both meld perfectly with no installation problems or other adverse issues. It is exactly as advertised SAVE AND RESTORE (didn't even need a special backup program)
A little hard to configure but once you get it, works great March 15, 2007 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I think they could use a little help explaining how to use their product. At first, I had too many backups created. The trick is to make sure your usb backup drive connected and powered on BEFORE you install this program. Then it comes up and makes a recommendation that is pretty much what you would want. Just adjust the times it runs and save it. Then if you want to add to it to add other directories on the nightly backup, go in later and add them. Also, if you have a SATA hard drive be sure to check the drivers. I sent a report to Symantec with my drivers and they sent me back a bootable iso image that works like a charm (and they responded in a couple days which surprised me). Before you trust it completely, make sure you can recover the system. Put a different hard drive in your existing pc and recover. If you dont do this, you are risking something not working. Overall, I was so happy with it I bought 4 copies and put it on my Dad's, my mother in laws, and my wifes computers. It takes WAY to long to come back from a hard drive crash. This was well worth the money.
