How to Turn Off Backups in Norton 360

You can turn off backups to save hard drive space.

Norton 360 protects your computer from virus and spyware and also creates backups of your hard drive. This enables you to restore your hard drive if a virus infects your computer. However, Norton's automatic backups can use more hard drive space than you wish. You can turn off backups to save hard drive space or to manually choose the folders you wish to back up.

Instructions

1. Open Norton 360 and click on "Settings" at the top of the main window.

2. Uncheck the "Backup" option beneath the "Quick Controls" list on the right. If you wish to turn on backups in the future, simply check the "Backup" option again.

3. Click "Close" to save your settings.
