What to do if I forgot to backup my files?

Actually, backing up important data is a must. But sometimes people ignore this rule and get into trouble in case of computer crash, or when some malware deleted files or even formatted the disk.

Using data recovery software can help to solve such problem. Usually, data recovery program scans the entire hard disk drive surface and rebuilds all the system data: from partitions and logical drives, to files and folder structure.

However, the disk recovery software can help only if the disk drive still can work and is not damaged physically. In all other cases nobody can guarantee successful recovering of your data.

So, the only really reliable method to keep your important data safe is to make backup copies of it periodically. Don't forget to do this!

AQUATRA releases Backup Expert 2.0

Computer crashes and hard disk failures are an unfortunate matter of "when", and not "if". Prepare yourself for upcoming system crash, minimize your losses and save time on restoring your PC back to full operation!

If you lose all data because of computer crash hard disk failure, what data would you try to restore? Would you refer to your backup media for recovering Windows and installed products such as Microsoft Office, or would you simply re-install them all from their original CDs? Most people don't bother to back up Windows and program files as they can be re-installed quite easily. But can you afford losing all your personal files, emails, family snapshots, office documents and accounting spreadsheets? You can't re-install your files if you don't have a backup, and you won't have a backup if you don't create one first! You already spent hours of your time to create these documents and customize Windows to perform your tasks, so do you really want to do it all over again?

If you have a fresh backup copy of your files handy, you can restore your original documents and settings, including the smallest details such as email accounts or Windows desktop background, in a matter of minutes!

Just a few years ago you literally had to be a hi-tech professional to successfully create and use data backups. In the past, you had to know exactly what you want to backup and where the files were, which is not easy at all if you try to think for a moment about an exact disk location of your email messages or email accounts. But even if you happened to know everything about your files and settings, you would need a separate tool to compress that data in order to fit on a finite number of CD or DVD discs, and after that you'd need yet another tool to actually burn the archive to those CDs. Oh, and you'd need to remember to create archive volumes of certain size so that they fit on the CD or DVD media. And if you managed to do all that, you'd have to guard these disks with your life against anyone wishing to peek into your private data as no privacy protection is assumed if you take such route!

Backup Expert can burn your data on a CD, DVD, Blu-Ray, or HD-DVD disc, save it to a USB flash, store it on an external hard drive, or even use a remote computer on a local network or over the Internet to store your data over FTP!

Can you afford not having your home insured? Can you drive a car without insurance? Stop taking chances with your important data! Back up your documents and settings easily and securely with Backup Expert software. Download a free evaluation copy of Backup Expert from official website and protect yourself against data loss and hardware failures.

File Backup vs Disk Backup

File backup software saves user data on the file layer. Disk backup software creates a copy of disk at the low level.

File backup is easy for common user, but if the system crashes, the user has to reinstall the system before restoring data.

Disk backup may restore even a crashed operating system, but it works only on the same hardware. If you replace a computer, or some of its part with the new one, you may have a problem to restore the data.

Both types of backup software are useful, so you may choose any of them depending on your requirements.
