Laplink Provides Free Competitive Upgrade for Ground-breaking Imaging and Restoration Solution

Bellevue, WA (PRWEB) September 30, 2011

Laplink Software, Inc. recently announced that it will be giving away Laplink DiskImage? for users that own competitive imaging products.

?We are set out to prove that Laplink?s imaging and restoration solution is the best in the industry,? commented Laplink CEO Thomas Koll. ?We offer the cutting edge in imaging technology, as well as a complete backup solution. These two features together are unmatched by any competitor.?

Because of the gap that exists in imaging software, Laplink is allowing customers to upgrade their existing imaging software to DiskImage for free, if they already own an imaging product such as Acronis TrueImage, Norton Ghost or Paragon Drive Backup. DiskImage is a complete data backup and recovery solution by using the latest technology in imaging software. It employs multiple imaging options with the ability to automatically create full or incremental images of a PC, even while it is in use. The software also includes functionality to restore an entire image to any PC regardless of hardware differences.

Laplink DiskImage provides the latest in imaging technology with Operating System Independent Restore utilizing the Image Assistant feature. Now users are able to rescue and restore an old image, or hard drive, to a new PC without overwriting anything. With any other imaging product, a restoration will overwrite contents on the destination PC, including the operating system. This is a significant problem when old images need to be restored to a completely new operating system, a problem that is solved with Image Assistant.

For users to obtain DiskImage with Image Assistant for free, the following criteria apply:

Repair4HardDisk Launches, Providing Free DIY Hard Disk Drive Repair and Data Recovery Guides

Berlin, Germany (PRWEB) March 18, 2009

Hard disk drive repair and data recovery usually requires special and expensive equipment, as well as expert knowledge. But for those who don’t have the time, effort or money to get professional support, there is Repair4HardDisk, a new Web directory of hard disk drive-related sites, featuring free do-it-yourself repair and recovery guides for hard disk drives (HDDs) from a number of different manufacturers.

“If you are having trouble with a hard disk drive and need to recover data, or even if you are feeling daring enough to attempt a repair, visit Repair4HardDisk for tips and tricks for success,” says Werner Heuser of Repair4HardDisk. “Repair4HardDisk is the premier Web site to visit for otherwise difficult to find information about resurrection methods for broken or damaged HDDs.”

Data is often very precious and should be handled with care by professionals. However, there are cases where individuals may consider performing the data recovery service themselves rather than pay for professional services:

Professional data recovery services are often expensive. Sometimes data isn’t worth the cost of recovery services because it can be recovered manually. In such a case, Heuser says, it’s nice to be able to recover the data yourself for free or at little monetary cost.
Individuals may not want to reveal secret data stored on a HDD to others, not even to professionals obligated to handle data in a trustworthy manner.
Professional services may take time to recover data. If time is of the essence, do-it-yourself data recovery can be a time saver.
People who are true geeks may find tinkering with a dead hard disk drive a strong challenge and measure of skill.

All guides available from Repair4HardDisk apply to both 3.5-inch desktops HDDs as well as 2.5-inch laptop and notebook HDDs. Repair4HardDisk also features special sections with guides that explain how to:

build self-made HDD racks and HDD mounting techniques
mount a HDD into an external HDD enclosure
cover all the silencing techniques known to get rid of a noisy and disturbing HDD

In instances where an HDD has gone beyond resurrection, Repair4HardDisk also features modding ideas for dead drives.

“With a vast range of informative guides, Repair4HardDisk is a truly unique site featuring everything individuals need to know to complete costly hard disk drive repairs on their own,” Heuser says.

New ReclaiMe Free RAID Recovery Software Makes RAID Recovery Really Simple and Free for Everyone

Volgograd, Russia (PRWEB) September 22, 2010

The ReclaiMe team believes the RAID recovery should be available for everyone. That?s why they?ve created ReclaiMe Free RAID Recovery – the free and simple RAID recovery software without a single configuration setting.

?How many times have you used free and really simple software recently? Probably not as often as you’d like,? said Elena Pakhomova, Senior Developer of ReclaiMe. ?It seems that software has become more and more complex and expensive ? but we want to change that. We work in the field of data recovery and handle the data lost from the various media. It’s not an easy subject; nevertheless, we wanted to make the process of RAID recovery as simple as possible for those who will be using our software. On top of that, we decided to make it free.?

So, the ReclaiMe team developed both a universal and free RAID recovery tool that was originally thought of as something that can be used without any special knowledge or training. After months of hard work the simple, functional and free tool named ReclaiMe Free RAID Recovery was born.

ReclaiMe Free RAID Recovery works with RAID5, RAID0, and RAID01/10 arrays which are commonly used by software and hardware RAIDs. The software recovers various RAID parameters, such as start offset, block size, member disks and data order, parity position and rotation. Once the array parameters are recovered, there would be several options to complete the recovery: create the array image file, write the array to disk, save layout to the XML file or just get the instructions and recover data.

?The main principle of our work is still the simplicity and availability of data recovery for everyone,? Pakhomova said.

ReclaiMe Free RAID Recovery software is available for immediate download at http://www.FreeRaidRecovery.com.
