BE PREPARED: NORTON SAVE & RESTORE NOW AVAILABLE ============================================

Would you be protected if your hard drive suddenly failed?

Norton Save & Restore 2.0 helps prepare for this and other emergencies by creating a backup copy of your entire hard drive or any folders you choose.

 

One advantage of Norton Save & Restore is that it can perform backups on the fly without interrupting your work or restarting the computer. Or, you can schedule a backup at certain times, when a user logs off, when new software is installed, or based on other events. Your data can be saved to a wide variety of media, including CD-R/RW, DVD-R/RW, USB and FireWire storage devices, and network drives.

 

Norton Save & Restore 2.0 is available through TechSoup Stock for administrative fees of $15 to $70 (compared to retail values from $50 to $1000), thanks to a generous donation from Symantec. The software comes in packages of 1, 5, 10, and 25 licenses.
