Disk
Copy and Clean Software
There are a lot of companies offering disk Copy and Clean Software in the
market. Basically what it does is copies all your files from one location
and “cleans” (meaning deletes the original file) it from its original
location.
However, before purchasing a disk copy and clean software you should know
the features it must have to make sure that you are making the correct
choice.
Automatic Transfer Without any Hitches
First off, it should be one-click software. It should automatically transfer
everything from your old hard drive to your new hard drive without missing
any of your programs, settings, preferences or data.
It should have no installation required and must be run from a CD and should
be able to work with all Operating Systems.
Another important feature of this kind of software is it should allow you to
not re-install anything. It should also give you the option to copy
partitions or everything into your new hard drive this includes expanding
partitions to allow it to fit into the new hard drive. Basically, the first
thing it should be is to become extremely user-friendly and allow normal
technologically challenged people (like me) to use it easily.
Information Security
This is very important when buying a copy and clean software it should
ensure that your data is truly erased and unrecoverable since most of the
other techniques like deleting files, folders or formatting stuff, all the
data still resides on the hard drive. Your Disk Copy and Clean Software
should make your transfer and deleting permanent and unrecoverable. This is
extremely important since there are a lot of cases of identity and
information theft that have cost a lot of damage to people’s reputation and
finances.
It is not only about cleaning your data from the hard drive, it also needs
to have security over internet access since most of our databases have what
we call “spyware or other programs implanted from the internet.
These programs are barely detected since they don’t portray themselves as
viruses but instead only get database information like passwords, visited
sites and other simple data.
Finally after this is done, it should be able to verify and validate that
the transfer has been completed successfully and while double-checking is
still a must, this feature will at least grant you some sort of assurance
that everything is done properly.
Other Requirements
Lastly, it should exceed the US department of Defense Security Standards in
order to ensure that it will do all of the above.
This certification is only granted to companies that have gone through a lot
of testing and have passed their extremely strict standards. If the software
you are buying has all these, then you can be sure that it is one of the few
reliable programs in the market today
