Examples of use

The advantage of SecurDat over other backup programs is real time backup, i.e. the files are backed up almost in the same moment as your applications are saving them on your hard disk. If you use your computer as a professional tool and you make money with it, then you probably often make data backups, for example on tape (DAT or similar), usually in the evening after a work day (possibly also not so often due to lack of time or laziness).
But what if you have worked hard on your computer several hours from morning until afternoon, and then suddenly still before the evening backup a data accident happens? There could be many causes:

·	Virus infection

·	Computer crash

·	Operating error

·	Power failure

·

etc. etc.

If you get an hourly wage of US$ 200 (e.g. highly qualified software engineer) and lose the work of 5 hours, then you have a loss of US$ 1000, not to mention business delays and the anger. If you however use SecurDat, then you always have several versions of backup copies; in this way also a unnoticed data loss in a documnet which you have saved several times could be reversed.

You see, SecurDat can earn you a great financial profit, if avoidance of losses is defined as profit, which is usual in business.

Some examples of use:

·

Programmer: If you continuously work on a single project, then define the project directory as source directory in SecurDat. Enter the relevant project or source file types into the 'Only these files' list, or exclude the files which can be restored from the source text files (e.g. DCU files in Delphi) as well as the backup files (~?? files in Delphi). Activate the Autostart option for SecurTray. Activate the 'Save all files together' option. Use Folder Number Variables.

·	Student writing dissertation: Set up your programs to save all their data files into a single common directory. If you use your computer also for other purposes besides your dissertation, then create a shortcut to SecurTray on your desktop.

·

Government office employee: If your computer is part of a Windows® network, you can setup your backup directory on the network server. This backup directory then can be used also by other employees which use SecurTray on their local workstation computer. This has the additional advantage of increased data safety, because the backup data are separated from the workstations. The network administrator moreover may restrict access rights, so no other applications or only defined applications can access the backup directory.

SecurDat actually is in use in many professional environments all over the world: Governments, weather stations, programmers, web designers, software engineers, but also in consumer environments.
