Scheduled to be available in late September, Symantec’s Norton Ghost version 10 targets consumer backup with a number of features that make it easier for the less IT literate.<\/p>\n

One such feature is storage detection, which automatically detects when new storage devices are added to the computer and determines which drives should be backed up and identifies optimal storage destination locations.<\/p>\n

Recovery is made a little more intuitive by basing them on points in time rather than disk images. Recovery points can be event-triggered, but users can create personalized recovery points based also. Symantec has implemented performance throttling to adjust system resource usage to more effectively utilize resources when creating recovery points.<\/p>\n

A simplified interface reduces complexity requiring less interaction and navigation to perform tasks and clear words and phrases make it easier to understand. Similarly, the Symantec Recovery Disk is improved and updated to support a wider array of devices.<\/p>\n

For the security conscious backed up data may now be encrypted (128-, 192- and 256-bit AES) to ensure it is not accessible to unauthorised users.<\/p>\n

Finally, there’s a centralised management console that shows backup and recovery status for all drives on a system and the levels of data protection assigned to each as well as recommendations based on backup activity.<\/p>\n

Norton Ghost 10.0 should go on sale later this month with US retail pricing listed at US$69.99 for the full version and US$49.99 upgrades, including competitive upgrades.<\/p>\n
