Hard drive crashes, viruses and other data-erasing disasters can happen any time. If you don't have backups you can lose irreplacable data like digital photos, business files, tax records, and other important information. It's not good enough to make backup copies of important files, you need to place them in a different location than the original files. That way, if your hard drive fails, you can retrieve your important files from a network drive, backup drive, FTP account, or even a web based email account. This software can backup your important files to multiple locations on a given schedule, compress your files, encrypt your files, and restore everything seamlessly.
