- It has saved our Marketing team countless hours of lost or corrupted files being able to be restored over the years.
- Although the cost has gone up just like any other software, it is still affordable for the amazing tool it is.

- Restoration is very easy, especially when a file or folder was deleted mistakenly.
- Downtime is costly, good backups really save a great deal of money.

- Low cost for peace of mind.
- The few times I've had to restore files, it would have been a huge deal if I didn't have this tool available to me.
