So, let’s figure out the answers together," said Aleks Dow, the head of Handy Backup Analytics Department.

Novosoft announced a report on major factors forming the price of the most popular backup software solutions. The key finding: the most common among vital yet lacking proper user management issues of secure data storage is the efficiency of ultimate system restore, specifically the options for proper Windows system recovery ( http://www.handybackup.net/system-recovery.shtml ).
