Company Focus: Provide Trusted Backup and Recovery Solutions

The Challenge

• A virus or spyware penetrates your anti-malware protection and corrupts your system
• You accidentally delete a critical financial file or a cherished family photo
• Your son or daughter downloads a new game and your system slows to a crawl
• Your computer won’t boot and you see the “Blue Screen of Death”
• The company server is corrupted by a power spike or is attacked by a malicious hacker

Any of the above scenarios can lead to a digital disaster that wastes time, money, and resources "Trusted backup and recovery solutions" is based on the idea that everyone should have the ability to immediately return their computer to working order entirely on their own, without the need for outside technical support, and to do it without the typical hassles involved. Small businesses typically have limited resources to deal with IT issues, and rightfully so, they should be able to focus on what they do best running their business. FarStone’s software products provide easy to use and easy to understand methods for maintaining and protecting PC resources from otherwise non-recoverable system issues and unexpected data loss.
