Best practices for backing up your data This chapter includes the following topics: ■ About backing up your data ■ About choosing a backup type ■ Best practices for backing up ■ Additional tip.
■ What compression levels to specify for recovery points, and whether to enable security settings (encryption and password protection). ■ Which of the many other options you want to use. You can customize each backup according to your backup needs.
About backups When you back up your computer, you choose from two types of backups: ■ drive-based backup : backs up an entire hard drive ■ file and folder backup : backs up only the files and fold.
Using an external drive makes your backup data more portable. Should you need to remove your critical data from a particular location, you can quickly grab an external drive on your way out the door. See “ About Offsite Copy ” on page 81. Consider using external drives as your backup destination.
You should keep your operating system and software programs separate from your own data. It speeds the creation of recovery points and reduces the amount of information that needs to be restored. For example, use the C drive to run Windows and to install and run software programs.
Periodically review the Status page. You can also review the events log on the Advanced page. The event log records events when they occur, backups and any errors that might have occurred during or after a backup. If you do not see the Advanced page tab, click View > Show Advanced Page .
■ Do not run a disk defragmentation program during a backup. Doing so will significantly increase the time that it takes to create the recovery point and might cause unexpected system resource issues. ■ If you have two or more drives that are dependent on each other, you should include both drives in the same backup.
About selecting a backup destination You should review the following information before deciding where to store recovery points and file and folder backup data. Note: If you choose to use CDs or DVDs as your backup destination (not recommended), you cannot back up to a sub-folder on the disk.
Table 5-1 Selecting a backup destination (continued) Information to consider Backup destination If your computer is connected to a network, you can save your recovery points and file and folder backup data to a network folder. Backing up to a network folder typically requires that you authenticate to the computer that is hosting the folder.
Table 5-2 Advantages and disadvantages of backup destinations (continued) Disadvantages Advantages Backup destination ■ Must have supported network interface card drivers to restore from Symantec Re.
Backing up entire drives This chapter includes the following topics: ■ About defining a drive-based backup ■ Defining a drive-based backup ■ Compression levels for drive-based backups ■ Runnin.
Defining a drive-based backup Define a drive-based backup to take a shapshot of your entire hard drive. To define a drive-based backup 1 On the Home or Tasks page, click Run or Manage Backups . 2 In the Run or Manage Backups window, click Define New .
See “ About Offsite Copy ” on page 81. 10 Click Next . 11 On the Options panel, set the recovery point options you want. See “ Recovery point options ” on page 64. 12 (Optional) Click Advanced , set the advanced options you want, and then click OK to return to the Options panel.
Runs the backup one time on the date and at the time you specify. When you select this option, the Create a single recovery point box appears. Only run once 16 If you want the backup to run automatically according to a schedule, select Schedule, enter a start time, and select the days of the week when the backup should run.
See “ About backing up Microsoft virtual hard disks ” on page 205. If you use Microsoft's BitLocker Drive Encryption to encrypt the data on a data drive (any drive that does not have the operating system installed on it), be aware that Norton Ghost does not work with locked data drives.
Backup destination options The following table describes the options on the Backup Destination Page. Table 6-2 Backup destination options Description Option Indicates the location where you want to store the recovery points. If Norton Ghost detects that this location does not have enough available space, it alerts you.
Table 6-3 Recovery point options Description Options Type a name for your backup. Note: This option does not appear if you create a recovery point using the Back Up My Computer feature in Symantec Recovery Disk. Name Select one of the following compression levels for the recovery point.
Table 6-3 Recovery point options (continued) Description Options Select this option to let a search engine, such as Google Desktop, index all of the file names that are contained in each recovery point. By indexing the file names, you can then use your search engine to locate files you want to restore.
Table 6-4 Advanced scheduling options Description Option Do one or more of the following: ■ Click Schedule , and then select the days and a start time for when the backup should run. ■ Select Run more than once per day if you frequently edit data that you want to protect.
About network credentials If you are connecting to a computer on a network, you are required to enter the user name and password for network access, even if you have previously authenticated to the network. This is because the Norton Ghost 15.0 service runs as the local System account.
You can specify the location of command files if you want them to be located in a place other than the default location. You can also specify a location on a per-job basis, as well as specify a location that can be shared among several computers. If you specify a network location, you will be asked for network credentials.
Table 6-5 Recovery point creation stages Description Stage This stage occurs after a backup has started and before a recovery point is created. You can run a command during this stage to prepare for the recovery point creation process. For example, you can close any open applications that are using the drive.
Table 6-6 Advanced options for drive-based backups Description Option Splits the recovery point into smaller files and specifies the maximum size (in MB) for each file. For example, if you plan to copy a recovery point to ZIP disks from your backup destination, specify a maximum file size of 100 MB, according to the size of each ZIP disk.
Editing advanced backup options After you define a backup, you can go back at any time and edit the advanced options you chose when you first defined the backup. To edit advanced backup options 1 On the Home or Tasks page, click Run or Manage Backups .
Warning: Store the password in a secure place. Passwords are case sensitive. When you access or restore a recovery point that is password encrypted, Norton Ghost prompts you for the case-sensitive password. If you do not type the correct password or you forget the password, you cannot open the recovery point.
3 In the tree panel of the Recovery Point Browser, select the recovery point. For example: C_Drive001.v2i. 4 On the File menu, click Verify Recovery Point . If the Verify Recovery Point option is unavailable, you must first dismount the recovery point.
Table 6-8 Compression levels (continued) Description Compression level This option uses high compression for a 50 percent average data compression ratio on recovery points. This setting is usually the slowest method. When a high compression recovery point is created, CPU usage might be higher than normal.
7 On the Options panel, select the appropriate options. See “ Recovery point options ” on page 64. 8 Click Next . 9 If appropriate, in the lists, select the command files that you want to run during a particular stage in the recovery point creation process.
When you want to create a backup from the Symantec Recovery Disk CD, you are prompted for a valid license key only for the following scenarios: ■ You use the original, shipping version of the Symantec Recovery Disk CD to create a backup of a computer that does not have Norton Ghost installed.
6 In the Backup Destination panel, set the options you want, then click Next . Lets you browse to and specify the location where you want to store the independent recovery point. Folder field Lets you map a network drive by using the UNC path of the computer on which you want to store the recovery point.
7 In the Options panel, set the desired compression level for the recovery point. Use this option if storage space is not an issue. However, if the backup is being saved to a busy network drive, high compression may be faster than no compression because there is less data to write across the network.
You can split the recovery point into smaller files and specify the maximum size (in MB) for each file. For example, if you plan to copy a recovery point to ZIP disks from your backup destination, specify a minimum file size of 100 MB, according to the size of each ZIP disk.
12 Click Next . 13 Click Finish to run the backup. 14 When the backup is finished, click Close to return to the main Symantec Recovery Disk window. About Offsite Copy Backing up your data to a secondary hard disk is a critical first step to protecting your information assets.
the backup job completes at 6:20 p.m., Norton Ghost detects that the Offsite Copy destination drive is not available and the copy process is aborted. The following morning, you plug the drive back in to the computer. Norton Ghost detects the presence of the Offsite Copy destination drive and automatically begins copying your recovery points.
On Tuesday morning, you find that Monday's base recovery point has been successfully copied to drive A. At the end of the day, you unplug drive A and take it home for safe keeping. On Wednesday morning, you bring drive B to the office. You plug in drive B and Norton Ghost detects that drive B is an Offsite Copy destination.
Each time you plug in either drive A or B, the latest recovery points are added to the drive. This method gives you multiple points in time for recovering your computer in the event that the original backup destination drives fail or become unrecoverable.
About using an FTP server as your Offsite Copy destination Using an FTP server as your Offsite Copy destination is similar to using a network path. You must provide a valid FTP path to the FTP server. You must also provide the correct FTP connection information to Norton Ghost in order for this method to work correctly.
