Did Norton discontinue my ability to backup to local hard drives?

[bjm]

Notice: I’m now retracting my understanding posted 22-Oct-2024 [here]

my understanding…from Norton support Chat agent.
Back up to local drive will be available once cloud storage is full.

my understanding…per Chat Support agent:
While v24 backup feature is changed regarding backup to external drive. Backup to external local drive can be done once cloud backup storage will be full. Note: I’ve not tested this, at this time.

x.com/Norton … now advises 27-Oct-2024

Sorry to inform you Norton 360 v24.10.9535 does not have function to backup external drive.

I am sorry to inform you that if you wish to backup external hard drive then you need to download the old version of Norton…however, in new version of Norton we are working on it.

If you wish to download the old Norton version in this case, kindly get in touch with our technical experts by calling on these numbers: 18007456061 or 18007456034, they will surely help you by looking into this matter and taking remote access only if required.
