SIGuardian Lite is the tool what allows you to control health of your hard drives and prevent data loss of failures. Using S.M.A.R.T. technology included in all modern drives SIGuardian Lite estimate end date of hard drive lifetime, so you can make backup copy of all data.
S.M.A.R.T. stands for Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology.

When the safety threshold is crossed (20 for most attributes), it means that a hard-drive is unstable and you should back up your data.

DataCocoon
$39.95 - MCQN Ltd.

DataCocoon ? Easy, automated, off-site backup software for Windows. "We couldn't make backup fun, so we made it easy." Runs when you aren't using your computer and stores any new or changed files on any FTP server, encrypted to keep them private. Getting files back is as easy as backing them up, retrieve either individual files, everything you've backed up or even files which you've recently deleted from your PC. Try it FREE for 30 days!

DataCocoon keeps all the important stuff on your computer safe from harm. Your digital photos, emails, documents, spreadsheets... in fact, whatever you choose will be backed up securely on the Internet.

Because a copy of your data is stored on the Internet, you are not only protected from your hard disk crashing or from a virus deleting your files, but also from disasters such as a fire destroying your backup CDs at the same time as your PC.

Features:

* Easy to use. The Settings Wizard guides you through the configuration process; from where your data will be backed up to finding all the files which need to be backed up.

* No maintenance. Once configured, you don't have to remember to backup - backups are performed automatically at a time you choose.

* Secure. All your backed-up data is encrypted using the same high-level encryption used to keep your credit-card details safe when shopping online.

* Peace of mind. Because your data is stored over the Internet, not only is it safe from hard drive failure - it is safe from fire and theft too.

* Retrieve files you recently deleted. Files that you delete aren't immediately removed from the backup, so if you realise that you need that document you deleted last week, it is easy to retrieve.

* Easy to get your data back. If you have to get something from your backup, the Restore Wizard will guide you through. Whether you need to get absolutely everything, just a few files, or something you accidentally deleted, all is accomplished in a few easy steps.
