The Complete Data Protection Strategy

(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) BURBANK, CA, August 27 / MARKET WIRE/ --

In today's business environment data protection
is, obviously, mandatory. Data that was at one time stored as hard-copy
valuable documents, ledger sheets and reports now exists in bits and bytes.
Where it once was protected in locked, fireproof filing cabinets and safes
it now must be protected from loss or harm by electronic means. For most
companies, that means backups performed weekly or every few days.

Today's business environment also means every penny carefully spent and
every second of employee time scrutinized for efficiency. Instant reaction
to such factors as market conditions or competitor moves is a must if an
enterprise is going to stay alive. When data is lost -- even if temporarily
-- it means lost money, time and forward motion.

An accidentally deleted file can mean a portion of a business coming to a
screeching halt. A cry for help comes into the IT help desk over the lost
file. The IT person currently on help desk duty asks hopefully if the user
has checked the Windows Recycle Bin. Yes, the user replies, but no luck --
the data was saved across the network to a server and can't be retrieved
through the Recycle Bin. The IT person then initiates a search through
backup. If that file existed when the last backup was performed, then
several hours later the user will receive an older version of the file
which he or she will then have to spend some time to bring back to its
current state. But if that file has been created since the last backup, the
user will have to start from scratch. This could mean hours, days or weeks
of lost time, as well as lost income.

In the old days, company information was protected in real time -- its
physical existence meant that it never went anywhere and was always

accessible. With periodic backups, however, real-time protection and
real-time recovery are not possible except in the most high-end systems.
What can be done for everyone else?

The answer is a real-time data protection software solution that allows the
real time recovery, with an instant click of the mouse, of any accidentally
deleted file. While the Windows Recycle Bin will allow recovery of any file
saved on a local hard drive, it will not recover files saved across a
network to a server -- as most files are in today's enterprises. Real time
data protection replaces the Windows Recycle Bin with one of its own,
allowing recovery of files even if they were saved across a network.

Such a solution will save a company tremendously in lost time and money. An
accidentally lost file can be instantly recovered by the user, not even
necessitating a call to the help desk. And most importantly, business can
keep forging profitably ahead -- as if the lost file never even happened.
