About running a one-time backup from Symantec
Recovery Disk
Using a valid license key, you can create independent recovery points using the
new Back Up My Computer feature in Symantec Recovery Disk. Sometimes known
as a cold backup or offline backup, you can create recovery points of a partition
without the need to install Norton Ghost or its agent.
With a cold backup, all files are closed when the backup occurs. You do not copy
any data that may be in the middle of being updated or accessed on the desktop
or server. Cold backups are particularly useful for databases. They ensure that
no files are written to or accessed at anytime during the backup so you have a
complete recovery point.
You can also use the Symantec Recovery Disk CD to create recovery points if you
experience any of the following:
■ A level of corruption prevents you from starting Windows on the computer.
■ Norton Ghost does not function properly while it runs on a Windows operating
system.
■ You want to back up the condition of a damaged system before you recover.
For example, if a server or desktop is severely damaged, you can use the
Symantec Recovery Disk CD to back up what remains of the system. Then, you
can recover what you can later, after you restore an independent recovery
point.
