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. Instead, you must unlock
the bitlocked drive before you can backup it up.
Generally, you should accept the preselected option Add all related drives
(recommended). Doing so can help you with a successful recovery, should you
ever need to perform a restore in the future. If you deselect certain related drives
you may experience an incomplete recovery or an unsuccessful recovery.
Recovery point type options
Recovery point set and Independent recovery point are the two recovery point
type options that are available. Each option type is described in the table below.
Table 6-1
Recovery point type options
DescriptionOption
Schedules a base recovery point with
additional recovery points that contain only
incremental changes that were made to your
computer since the previous recovery point.
Incremental recovery points are created
faster than the base recovery point. They
also use less storage space than an
independent recovery point.
Note: You can only have one recovery point
set defined for each drive. The Recovery
Point Set option is not available if you have
already assigned a selected drive to an
existing backup and specified Recovery Point
Set as the recovery point type. This option
also is unavailable if you select an
unmounted drive that cannot be part of a
recovery point set.
Recovery point set (recommended)
Creates a complete, independent copy of the
drives that you select. This backup type
typically requires more storage space,
especially if you run the backup multiple
times.
