This can be a serious problem for system builders, who end up having to deal with the computer mishaps that ensue. The free video that looked so inviting online may contain a Trojan that hijacks a system, and the freeware application that someone just installed may disable a system altogether. Malware-related tech support issues are on the rise, and system builders are often taking the brunt of it. What if a small, integrated application acted as a kind of system safety net, offering hassle-free recovery from software-related data loss? Users could roll back their systems to a known good point, and Tech Support would never have to answer the call! THE DRIVECLONE PRO SOLUTION FarStone Technology, a California-based manufacturer of data backup and recovery software, has developed DriveClone Pro (www.farstone.com/software/driveclone-pro.htm), a hard drive imaging utility with an included system snapshot feature that lets users quickly recover their entire system, even when Windows cannot boot. The software has already been adopted by major system builders in the United States and Taiwan. It used to be standard practice for system builders to ship a factory disc with computers. This factory disc reinstalled the OS and software that came with the user system, but the user would lose everything they had installed or saved on their computer since the day they had received it. Consumers and businesses now expect more out of a computer, and often hold the builder responsible when they cannot recover lost data. The DriveClone Pro solution offers vendors the kind of built-in recovery they need to satisfy customers and stay competitive in an industry where profits are often based on the slimmest of margins.
