Norton 360 Backup lockup

We tried our first Norton 360 backup the other day. The backup size was about 33 gb and we had a 25 gb limit.

The real problem came when we tried to delete the backup. Unfortunately the documentation could be a lot more clear. It looked like we should be able to open up My Computer, navigate to the Norton Drive and delete it from there. However, when we right clicked and clicked Delete, Windows Explorer seemed to hang and not actually delete the backup or files inside of it.

I will try to establish a chat with Norton when I get some free time. I’d also like to know exactly how the ‘automatic’ backup works. Will it just copy files during idle time or does it have to do the entire backup in one shot.

The concept has a lot of promise but we seem to be getting off to a rocky start.
