Symantec to Protect Photos, Music, Financial Data and More with New Norton Save & Restore

Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq: SYMC) today announced Norton Save & Restore, a highly intuitive automated backup and recovery solution for consumers, which is scheduled for wide availability in late March. With simple installation, setup, and built-in automation, Norton Save & Restore will make it easy for home PC users to preserve valuable digital content, such as photos, documents, music, and financial information. A recent IDC study suggests that while nearly 60% of consumers are concerned or very concerned about loss of data folders on their PC, more than 68% confess to not making backup copies to protect their data.

“Home computer users, especially families, store a wide range of important information on their PCs, from financial data to photos, email, address books, music, and more,” said Rowan Trollope, vice president of consumer products and solutions at Symantec. “At the same time, threats to the safety of that data are increasing, including spyware, hacking attacks, tampering, and theft as well as hardware and software failures, user error, and even natural disasters. By simplifying backup and recovery, Norton Save & Restore helps protect the digital treasures that consumers care about most.”

Norton Save & Restore offers users quick and simple ways to save the items they consider most important through pre-defined backups of common folders and file types. For added convenience, Norton Save & Restore can also perform scheduled, on-demand, or event-driven backups to a wide range of media. Utilizing the disk imaging power of Symantec’s award-winning Norton Ghost, Norton Save & Restore also allows users the option to create an exact image of their entire hard drive without leaving the operating system or rebooting.
