How To Help Your PC Survive a Power Outage
GoBack Software Offers PC Users Added Layer of Protection Against Lost Data
Milpitas, Calif., February 5, 2001 - As unexpected power outages strike random areas of California on a regular basis, PC users find themselves in jeopardy of losing hours of productivity. Roxio, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Adaptec, Inc. offers users a supplement to traditional back-up methods with its GoBack software.
"Despite significant drops in power usage, rolling blackouts continue with no relief in sight," said Tom Shea, Chief Operating Officer of Roxio. "Due to widespread uncertainty, the need to take additional PC safety measures, with products such as GoBack, is essential."
Often times system files can become corrupted when a power failure abruptly interrupts normal operation. This corruption can cause a PC system to loose the ability to boot up after the power outage. GoBack is able to restore the system to the state it was in prior to the corruption.
Other measures that can be taken to ensure your PC is protected include:
- Supplying critical machines with an uninterruptible power supply.
- An image backup of your hard drive and system settings on CD - a product like Roxio's Easy CD Creator 4 Deluxe allows you to do this.

GoBack protects both system settings and user content, thereby reducing the need to reconfigure systems or recreate data when PCs fail.
