(NAPSI)-This holiday season, you can give someone--maybe even yourself--the gift of peace of mind with a practical present that can be appreciated year-round. By wrapping up a secure, fire-resistant, waterproof hard drive, you can help friends and family back up their important data in case of a fire, water disaster or even computer crash and protect their valued and irreplaceable information. It doesn't just take a mass flood or fire; a leaky roof, burst pipe, computer virus or even a small house fire can damage or destroy data saved on a laptop or computer. Backup Tips To back up data and files securely, proper planning is key. Here are a few hints that can help: • Identify and decide which data cannot be lost under any circumstances. Copy valuable files and data onto jump drives, DVD-R or CD-R discs, tapes or to removable disc drives that connect to systems via USB ports. • Use a scanner and make digital copies of important papers, including birth certificates, mortgages, Social Security cards, tax forms, etc. Save them as PDF files and copy them to a folder on a fire-resistant, waterproof, external hard drive. • Routinely back up data at least every week. • For large volumes of data that require quick restoration, look for specialized software for continuous data copy or use an e-vaulting company to which you can send data electronically for secure backup and storage. • Store valuable data and files on a hard drive that will protect irreplaceable information should a disaster occur. SentrySafe developed the world's first and only fire-resistant and waterproof 160GB hard drive to protect data from fire, floods and computer crashes. For even more memory, SentrySafe launched a second-generation 250GB hard drive. Learn More For more information, visit www.sentrysafe.com.
