Securing Your Data with Active@ LiveCD

Did you know that deleting data by conventional means doesn’t make any difference other than mark the previously occupied space as available? This is something you need to think about if you’re planning to recycle, donate or decommission old storage devices. By using Active@ KillDisk, you can securely purge all data from your storage devices by overwriting them with ones and zeroes.

Backup and Disaster Recovery Made Easy

Active@ LiveCD also provides a last line of defense against lost data or malicious software attacks by way of Active@ UNDELETE, which you can use to recovery deleted files. You can also back up your entire system by making a byte-by-byte copy that includes your operating system, all your applications and personal files. This is also particularly useful when replacing your system hard drive or transferring your operating system over to another computer.
