Enabling event-triggered backups

Norton Ghost can detect certain events and run a backup when they occur.

For example, to protect your computer when you install new software, Norton Ghost can run a backup when it detects that new software is about to be installed. If a problem occurs that harms your computer, you can use this recovery point to restore your computer to its previous state.

You can configure Norton Ghost to automatically run a backup when the following events occur:
