Losing data is a common problem.
It happens because of human errors, malware attack, or broken hardware.
Norton Ghost is one of the many software that can secure your data.

Each component has a short description to let you know what it is about.
For a component that you deem unnecessary, you could exclude it from the installation.
To install everything that Norton Ghost offers, you should go with the standard installation.

But, the process is quite slow to finish so you may have to be a bit patient.
Norton Ghost is both a file backup and a drive backup.
The backups can be done either manually or automatically based on schedules.
By the time the backup job finishes, you have two backups in two different storages.
And whats more, Norton Ghost supports fallback destination.
So if your remote storage somehow becomes unavailable, the backup can be automatically written to the alternative storage.
When it does, the software will start uploading the backup.
There is still another feature that you will probably find useful too.
Norton Ghost has a collection of decent features to help you with that task.
