PC Security: Protection
You Can Afford
by Ainuddin Mohamad
There are
numerous ways you can lose the information on your computer.
Your child decides to play Chopin on your keyboard, a power
surge, lightening, a virus, or even simple equipment failure.
Therefore, backing up the contents of your hard drive is an
absolute MUST. By regularly making backup copies of your
files and storing them in a separate location, you can
typically get some, if not all, of your information back in
the event your computer crashes.
While a
regular backup to floppy, CD, or zip drive will save your
files, wouldn’t it be great if you could create an exact copy
(a drive image) of your hard disk? That means backups of all
your files, programs, and user settings. This would
definitely save you time when it came to reloading. Acronis
may be able to help.
Acronis True
Image 9.0 is a robust disk-imaging utility software that
copies the entire contents of your hard drive including data
and operating system files, personalized settings, and more,
onto another disk or disk partition. Its layout is easy to use
and navigate. It also includes wizards which can walk you
through both backing up and restoring your computer.
Highlighted features include:
·
Secure Zone — allows
you to save data to a special hidden partition located on your
hard drive which would eliminate the need to purchase an extra
hard drive.
·
PC Cloning — you can
upgrade to a new system disk without needing to reinstall the
operating system and applications, or configure user
settings.
·
Acronis Snap Restore
- lightening-speed restore of your PC from an image. You
can start working in seconds while your system is still being
restored.
Acronis
provides a free test-drive of its product and a 30-day money
back guarantee. When you are ready to purchase, you can
either download for $49.99, or if you so desire, order a boxed
version for $59.99. With Acronis True Image Home 9.0, you can
rest easy that your family pictures, personal documents, tax
returns, resumes, and other important information will not be
lost forever.
