Just guessing, but probably Norton Save & Restore.

Looks like Norton 360 is to compete with (or to supplement) Windows Vista built in backup for Business and Ultimate versions.

Also to compete with Windows OneCare.

Looks like the backup function is to either local or to online storage. I found some more info under System Requirements:

Quote:

Important: Norton Ghost and Norton Save and Restore can coexist with Norton 360. However, if you have any other existing Norton products running, such as Norton Internet Security or Norton AntiVirus, you'll need to uninstall those products to participate in the beta. After the beta test period, be sure to reinstall your Norton products so you'll continue to have Norton's award-winning protection.
