Lack of a Data Protection Plan: Vulnerability For Any Business

October 15, 2008

Be it a slip of the finger or an accidental move of a mouse, almost everyone has experienced that dreaded feeling of deleting something that we should not have. Perhaps even more astonishing, however, is the fact that such things need never happen. There is a whole class of data protection software out there which will undelete many of our most egregious and painful mistakes. The big question then, is why doesn’t everyone have such software on their systems?

It is generally acknowledged that there are several classes of software that you should never be without if you own a computer. Defrag and anti-virus software are obvious necessities. Anti-spyware software is now becoming just as important.

Certainly, data protection software has been around for a long time now, but a casual survey of almost any group of computer users will show that virtually no one has such software installed on their systems. And, this is even the case with big networks, where the value of a lost document could mean serious dollars lost.

The usual reason seems to be a misguided confidence in the recycle bin which is standard on most computers. However, the recycle bin is actually no protection at all when compared to the available undelete software on the market today, and large networked systems can be especially vulnerable if there is no recovery resources installed on the system.

The recovery capability of some rescue-ware can appear to be miraculous at times. There is software, such as Undelete 2009, which has the capability of recovering virtually any file that has been deleted from the home or networked computer. This software also provides version protection for Microsoft Office
