13 Chapter Recovering files, folders, or entire drives This chapter includes the following topics: ■ About recovering lost data ■ Recovering files and folders by using file and folder backup data ■ Recovering files and folders using a recovery point ■ Recovering a secondary drive ■ Restoring using LightsOut Restore About recovering lost data Norton Ghost can restore lost files, folders, or entire drives by using recovery points or file and folder backup data. You must have either a recovery point or file and folder backup data to recover lost files and folders. You must have a recovery point to recover an entire drive. To recover recent changes that were made to a lost file or folder, your backup data must be at least as current as the changes that were made to the lost file or folder. Recovering files and folders by using file and folder backup data If you defined a file and folder backup and need to recover files, you can recover them from a recent file and folder backup.
