Symantec to Protect Photos,
Music, Financial Data and More with
New Norton Save & Restore
Feb 27, 2006
Laptop Battery CUPERTINO, Calif. -- Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq: SYMC) today
announced Norton Save & Restore, a highly intuitive automated
backup and recovery solution for consumers, which is scheduled for
wide availability in late March. With simple installation, setup,
and built-in automation, Norton Save & Restore will make it
easy for
home PC users to preserve
valuable digital content, such as photos, documents,
music, and financial
information. A recent IDC study suggests that while nearly 60%
of consumers are concerned or very concerned about loss of data
folders on their PC, more than 68% confess to not making backup
copies to protect their data. [1]
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.

Thinkpad Norton Save & Restore offers users quick and simple ways to
save the items they consider most important through pre-defined
backups of common folders and file types. For added convenience,
Norton Save & Restore can also perform scheduled, on-demand, or
event-driven backups to a wide range of media. Utilizing the disk
imaging power of Symantecs award-winning 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.
Norton Save and Restore is actually the newest version of Norton Ghost; call it "Ghost 11.0, " if you want to. Ghost itself was originally a standalone program, booted from floppies, computer imaging. Symantec bought the program, rebranded it Norton Ghost, and added features from PowerQuest's Drive Image product (also bought by them). Save and Restore keeps all the good things from Ghost, but it's essentially an incremental upgrade and not an entirely new product.
Microsoft Offering users the best and most complete coverage, Norton Save

automatically initiate a backup whenever it is notified about a
virus or worm outbreak. To further safeguard data, Norton Save
& Restore enables users to encrypt and password-protect their
backup files.
"Computer industry analysts estimate that some 60 percent of all corporate data exists only on desktop and laptop computers, " said Walter Scott, CEO of Acronis. "Incorporating Acronis True Image with New Mexico Software backup server is the ideal solution to capture that corporate data and ensure that it is not lost. While traditional server backups are effective for protecting server data, every company should have a combination of server and workstation backup plans."
