FarStone DriveClone Pro 6 Ensures Immediate Recovery

High-quality Snapshot Backups, and Complete Data Protection Snapshot – a crucial technology developed by FarStone – provides continuous data protection by tracking and backing up all sector level changes on a system in a hidden partition of the hard drive protected from malware, accidental deletions, viruses, and hacker attacks.

IRVINE, CALIFORNIA — March 12th 2008 —Starting today, computer users' major concerns about complete data protection and prolonged recovery time are answered by DriveClone Pro 5, the latest version of FarStone's disk imaging backup and restore software for home and SOHO users.

Users can efficiently protect their entire computer including valuable photos, videos, music, documents, and programs using DriveClone Pro 5. DriveClone Pro 5 does not just back up data on remote servers; its noteworthy Snapshot technology automatically backs up all changes onto a protected partition of the hard drive. The partition's complete protection from viruses, Trojans, and hackers conveniently grants users easy accessibility, allowing them to restore their data any time – even without internet access – within seconds.

DriveClone Pro 5 backs up to a variety of devices including protected hidden partitions on a hard drive, rescue discs, network folders, external USBs, or even CD/DVD media.

"With DriveClone's Universal Restore feature commercially available, we like to think that we're effectively providing business-class technologies for everyone concerned with having complete system recovery, but at an affordable price.
