Norton external back up storage, does it work automatically?

[ Edited ]

Hello

 

My computer had gone completely bust, it does not start up. I have discovered that the hard drive of my computer does not work. I have installed the Norton external back up system. My question is; does the external back up from Norton work automatically as you work with your computer or have you to do the back up yourself.  Who ever can answer this question, I would be grateful. Thank you, bye

Hi GTA,

 

It may help if you can tell us exactly which product you've installed.

 

However, in all cases there is at least a small configuration step that you'll have to perform. For example, for Norton 360, you'll have to at least save a Backup configuration. This is a user initiated step. If you accept all the defaults, then Norton 360 will back up files automatically. The default schedule is once daily while the machine is idle.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Regards,

 

Jon
