information on your PC is to back up your files
regularly. In case you lose your data, Norton 360 lets
you restore them later. For example, you accidentally
erase an important file or your PC has a hardware
malfunction thatdestroys some files.In thiscase, you
can restore your lost files from your backup.
You can also use backup to keep your PC's permanent
disk from becoming filled with old and seldom-used
files. After you have backed up such files, you can
remove them from your PC and restore them later if
you need to use them again.
