SUMMIT SAFEGUARD - Protect your data!
Summit SafeGuard
One of your most important assets is the precious information you have spent years compiling, but how safe is it?
Do you:
- Always compact and repair all your updated Summit data files every day?
- Always compact and repair all your Summit data files immediately after any system or network problem or failure?
- Only backup your Summit data files after making sure that they have compacted cleanly?
- Always backup your Summit data files any day that you have changed the information in them?
If you can answer Yes to all of the above questions, or you wouldn't really mind re-entering a day's work, a week's work, or maybe a few month's or even year's work, then read no further. If, however, you would like to safeguard this asset, read on.
Why Use Summit SafeGuard?
In a perfect world, data loss would never take place. In the real world, however, this is what happens:
The data you lose could be a PowerPoint presentation, a Word document, a FoxPro file, a Summit data file, or another Microsoft Access data file. The best ways to protect yourself from loss of information are good computer housekeeping practices and a backup regime that incorporates rotating media and off-site storage.
Summit SafeGuard will help you avoid file corruption, and give you early warnings of corruption, in Summit data files and other Microsoft Access files.
Summit SafeGuard was designed to address the following problems:
| Summit data files (or other Microsoft Access files) are not compacted as often as they should be |
Summit SafeGuard helps by: Running as a stand-alone product, unattended, at a nominated time every day after the office has closed. Every file on your pre-determined list is compacted every day and you get a full report of what's happened. This means that you no longer have to worry if all your Summit data files are being compacted on a regular basis. |
| Opening a corrupt data, which can cause further damage to the file |
| Summit SafeGuard helps by: Running a safeguarded compact of each file. This ensures that there has been no data loss and no internal compact errors have occurred.
If a file is too corrupted for Summit SafeGuard to compact, the fact that no data has been lost means that specialist data recovery companies have a much better chance of recovering all your data. This means that you will know of any corruptions in time to get them fixed, before the data files become unrecoverable. |
Corrupt data files are inadvertently backed up |
Summit SafeGuard helps by: Making alternative backup copies of successfully compacted files over a weekly rotation, and by highlighting problem files on a daily basis, allowing you to ensure that corrective action is taken prior to your next backup. You can time your backup to start after Summit SafeGuard has completed it's compact and backup cycle, which means that you always know you have a clean, backed up, data file. |
| Hardware fails |
| Summit SafeGuard enables you to keep the alternative backup copies in any folder on your hard drive or network, not just on your file server. You can quickly rename and use one of these files. |
