It’s one week into the new year and how many resolutions have you kept so far? Here’s an easy one to make and keep: resolve that you’ll absolutely, positively back up every desktop and laptop you manage. As we’ve mentioned before, analysts say a startling number of PCs aren’t getting backed up — even when they’re connected to a network.

If you just received a brand new PC during the holidays, maybe you bought a laptop for yourself at an after-Christmas sale, or maybe you just installed Windows 7 on several hundred desktops that you manage –whatever the situation, now is the time to get organized and protect those systems.

Running ShadowProtect Desktop as your backup will make that incredibly easy. You can schedule it to backup the entire system and all of the data to a handy removable drive, or save your backup image files over a network. It’s very easy to set and forget, until you need to restore. Then you’ll be thanking your foresight (or management skills) for taking the time to have a simple disaster recovery plan in place.

And ShadowProtect Desktop fully supports Windows 7, starting with version 3.5x. You can download a free trial of ShadowProtect Desktop from the StorageCraft Web site and see for yourself how easy it is to use. What better way to protect your time and investment in a new operating system and/or new PC than to have a reliable backup? That’s one resolution that’s easy to keep.
