    Online backup is just that….backups of your important files that are kept offline, not in the 462 GB that you still have available on your machines hard drive.

    These are kept by Norton on there servers so that in case your computer or your computer’s hard drive fails, you do not lose everything.

    It is up to you to decide if your data is important enough to pay extra to keep a second copy safe and secure off-site. tempo1

    Online storage has nothing to do with your hard drive. I just have a hard time understanding how users can install a program and then not learn anything about it. Backup programs always need help from the user. So when you first install Norton you had to have set up online backup. Now it’s full. Norton wants you to buy more space for backups. I have no idea what you are backing up or why you have used all your space. Just open Norton up, go into setting and find the backup part of Norton and turn it off. Ed G
