“Last month my laptop hard drive started making a lot of noise. When my laptop came back repaired, it was a simple procedure to restore it to the state it was before the hard drive started acting up.”

Best Laptop Backup Solution

Notebook computers are the perfect tool for busy on-the-go executives -- powerful, compact and portable. But those same attributes make them the most vulnerable to a variety of data loss risks.

With tiny components and connections packed in a compact case, laptops are delicate and can easily overheat, suffer hard drive failures or power outages, making the data they store extremely vulnerable.

Laptops are also frequently dropped and damaged, lost or stolen from cars, airports, offices and homes. WIFI (wireless network) connections also expose your data to viruses to hackers.

Why Laptop Backups Rarely Happen

Coupled with the extreme vulnerability of laptops is the disturbing fact that most users don't store their data on a centralized server, and rarely if ever back up their hard drive.

  • Don't regularly connect to a corporate network or server;
  • Don't travel with a backup device such as an external or tape drive, and even if they do, they are subject to the same type of risks (loss, theft, damage, corruption, etc).
  • Are often sales people who don't have the time or expertise for complex solutions.

Remote Data Backups: the best Laptop Backup Solution

Automatic + Flexible Scheduling = Regular Backups

Three Remote Data Backups scheduling features are especially useful for getting mobile notebook users, who may not fit the 9-to-5, always-at-the-office mode, to perform regular backups. To change these options in the program, select Options, then Backup Schedule (see screenshot):

  1. As a laptop user, you will not always have access to an Internet connection. To ensure you back up whenever you can connect, choose the "Backup on connection to network" option, and set the "...if not backed up for X hours" to suite your preferences.
  2. To automatically prompt for backup each time you shut down, and check "Prompt for backup each time Windows Exits".
  3. To run a backup and then automatically shut down, right click on our system tray icon, then select "Run a backup, then exit Windows".

Superior Laptop Data Security

Even if you are using a wireless (WIFI) network connection, rest assured your data is still completely safe from hackers, as it is transmitted in ultra-secure 128-bit AES encrypted format through a Secure Socket Layer (SSL).
