Norton Backup file recovery function?


.

I had a system restore performed on my PC recently as it was infected with a virus. I re-installed Norton 360, which I had previously, with the back-up function and was tempted to try and see if any of my lost files were backed up involuntarily by Norton. I’m just worried about fortuitously restoring the viral file that was removed. Does Norton allow you to select files, and is this safe enough? Is there any chance that Norton would have backed up my work involuntarily or would I have had to have set this up beforehand?

Norton backup needs to be set up first. So if you never did that, then it did not back up anything. Depending on how you set it up, and what you told it to back up. It’s only for backing up some things. It does not do a full image back up. I like programs that do a full image back up. That way if you get infected, you can just select a back up that you did before you where infected. This back up will not be infected. You should be able to look on your hard drive for the norton back up folder and see what’s in there.

I’ve check every google search and tried them all…the only thing that I want to be able to do is run VMware whether its the workstation or server version and be able to keep the virtual machines running after I log off the hosted windows 2003 server. they say to run each the server and the workstation as a service and I’ve tried both and they still show that the virtual machine logs after I log off the server. I even check the services and it shows it’s in there (I’ve even used firedaemon with no luck) and it still shows that the service runs but the virtual machines STILL turn off, I check by by logmein and it shows that the computer is no longer connected when I log off the server. Can someone delight help me by coming up with some sort of solution? I really need to be able to run the virtual machines on 2003 server with any vmware server or workstation.
Thanks

Hello,

This should work with VMWare Server. This does not work with Workstation without some hacking. VMWare Server was meant to run the vm’s as a service. I do this all the time on Windows Server 2003.

For a quick test start an RDP session to one of your virtual machines from a workstation or another server. Then, close the vmware server console without end down your vm’s. Log off the host server. If you can still connect to the RDP session, then your VM is not end down.
