Backing up entire drives 63 Defining a drive-based backup See "About backing up Microsoft virtual hard disks" on page 205. If you use Microsoft's BitLocker Drive Encryption to encrypt the data on a data drive (any drive that does not have the operating system installed on it), be aware that Norton Ghost does not work with locked data drives. Instead, you must unlock the bitlocked drive before you can backup it up. Generally, you should accept the preselected option Add all related drives (recommended). Doing so can help you with a successful recovery, should you ever need to perform a restore in the future. If you deselect certain related drives you may experience an incomplete recovery or an unsuccessful recovery. Recovery point type options Recovery point set and Independent recovery point are the two recovery point type options that are available. Each option type is described in the table below. Table 6-1 Recovery point type options Option Recovery point set (recommended) Description Schedules a base recovery point with additional recovery points that contain only incremental changes that were made to your computer since the previous recovery point. Incremental recovery points are created faster than the base recovery point. They also use less storage space than an independent recovery point. Note: You can only have one recovery point set defined for each drive. The Recovery Point Set option is not available if you have already assigned a selected drive to an existing backup and specified Recovery Point Set as the recovery point type. This option also is unavailable if you select an unmounted drive that cannot be part of a recovery point set. Independent recovery point Creates a complete, independent copy of the drives that you select. This backup type typically requires more storage space, especially if you run the backup multiple times.
