Norton Ghost

Install a search engine

You can download and install Google Desktop for free from the Internet. Visit desktop.google.com.

See “To install Google Desktop”.

Enable Google Desktop support

A Google plug-in for Norton Ghost is required before you can use Google Search to locate and recover files.

The plug-in is installed for you automatically when you enable this feature.

See “To enable Google Desktop support”.

Enable search engine support when defining or editing a backup job

When you define a backup job, or edit an existing backup job, enable search engine support.

The next time the backup is run, it creates a list of all the files that are contained in the resulting recovery point. A search engine such as Google Desktop can then use the list to generate its own index. You can then use the index to perform searches by file name.

See “To enable search engine support for a backup job”.

Note:

Recovery points that already exist when you enable this feature cannot be indexed. This restriction is because the generated list of files that search engines require for generating searchable indexes are appended to recovery points as they are created. After you enable this feature, run each of your backups to create a new recovery point that contains the required information for indexing.

Note:

If your backup destination is on a network drive, be sure to add the location to the Google Desktop preferences.
