Wipe data

Wiping data is a process which allows users to completely erase data from a disk. When data is wiped, the sectors of the disk where files and folders were situated physically are rewritten with zeroes (the data can't be recovered) in contrast to a process of ordinary files deletion when only the pointer to the file in the file allocation table is deleted (files in this case can be restored).



Testimonials and User Comments


I downloaded your 15 day trial of Acronis True Image and find it to be superior in all ways to the competition. I have used Ghost and Drive Image for as long as they have been on the market. I have used them professionally at work and home. I am ashamed to say that while we in the I. T. department have a lot of heavy computer experience, we still have trouble with this process, very touchy. With Acronis True Image their is very little to confuse, the interfaces are extremely intuitive. I have tried to teach my wife how to use Drive Image in case I get hit by a bus and she needs to resolve a bad drive. She said that the drive will have to follow me due to the confusion of these competitive products. When I introduced her to Acronis True Image she was able to totally understand the process and feel 100% confident in restoring drives and files. We will definitely order when the new version is out. Thanks!!!
