Online backup help

can someone PLEASE tell me how to purge default sets that are online. I have three sets for one computer and the instructions say to choose the computer you want to purge in the actions list then click purge. NOW THE PROBLEM IS in the list there is no PURGE LISTED.   It ask you if you want to download and a couple of other options but, it will not let you purge that computer backup because, it calls it a default set. How many default sets does one computer need? HELP PLEASE it is using up all my space online and now if I cannot get rid of atleast two of the default sets I will have to purchase more space and I don't need THREE default sets.

 

PLEASE HELP ME

Hello Claire


Try the following so Norton 360 can retrieve the prior restore history.

 

  • Open Norton 360.
  • Click on Manage Backup Sets
  • Click Restore Files
  • Click View All in the upper right
  • On the next screen hit Refresh List
  • From there it will connect to the backend and retrieve your prior history

It may have you activate Online Backup first. Follow the on-screen steps if it does.

 

Hi Wesley

I followed your instructions & I was able to the locate the files, thanks. I began the restore but after it saying initialising it then said receiving files progress 0.0%. It doesn't however move off 0.0%.

I've bought a new laptop & installed Norton 360 & again followed your instructions but the same happens again in that the progress of the restore does not move off 0.0%

Please can you help?

Hi Claire

 

Please read the sticky on the top of the forum on how restore works. Best thing to do, after reading that, is start the restore and leave it alone. It is working but just not giving you an update since its still processing server side.
