Losing important data through a hard drive crash, the theft of a computer or as a result of accidental file deletion is a very unpleasant experience indeed. Losing important work documents, an entire movie or music collection or irreplaceable photos can cause a lot of suffering, both financially and emotionally. We are all aware of the risks that are associated with storing data on a hard drive, however many of us still haven’t implemented a reliable data back up solution and run the risk of data loss each and every day. So what is a quick and easy method to safeguard your data?
Easy back up with an external hard drive and ShadowProtect software
For a data backup system to be completely robust, the back up of your data or back up device should be stored in a safe place, preferably in a completely different location to the device you are backing up. This is why external hard drives make a perfect back up tool, as after the data transfer has been completed, the external hard drive can then be easily moved to a safe location.
While you can just ‘drag and drop’ files from your computer to an external hard drive to create a backup copy, Advanced Computers recommends using ShadowProtect software as its powerful array of features makes backing up and restoring your data a breeze.
Key features:
Backup – Fast and reliable disk-based backup that captures full, differential and incremental point-in-time backup images of your entire system. This includes the operating system, applications, configuration settings and data. Schedule full and incremental backups for automatic protection of everything on your Windows server.
Recovery – ShadowProtect provides rapid recovery a number of ways: full bare metal recovery through a bootable recovery CD; recover to similar hardware; or recover to dissimilar or virtual environments with Hardware Independent Restore (HIR).
File and Folder Recovery – Quickly browse to specific files and folders in your point-in-time backup images to perform granular recovery of your data.
In a nutshell, you install ShadowProtect on your PC and use the easy to follow graphical user interface to determine what you would like to back up (certain folders or complete operating system), how often you would like to back it up and what media you would like to back it up to (CD / DVD or external hard drive in this example).
If you ever need to restore data from your back up image (on your external hard drive), you just plug your external hard drive into your computer, reinstall the ShawdowProtect software if required, then with a few clicks of your mouse your data will be restored.
