Data Protection & Privacy
Data Protection
With a disclosure package running on a stand-alone PC, your data is only as safe as your hard drive. Every hard drive manufacturer provides estimates on the AVERAGE number of hours of operation before your hard drive will fail. It WILL fail; it's only a matter of time. How often do you make backups of your hard drive?
With NetFile Professional, your data is backed up every night. Once a week, the data is permanently archived to CD's and shipped to a remote data vault for long-term storage. Wouldn't you feel better knowing your data was safe?
Privacy
