True Archival System for PC Systems
Offered by: Patri-Soft
STOWAWAY is a personal archival system for your computer.
STOWAWAY releases space on your hard disk by archiving
inactive files to offline storage media such as diskette.
The files and software on our PC systems are changing at a
rapid pace. We are constantly creating new data, trying new
software, and updating old systems. Our hard disks become
vessels holding massive amounts of information we want to
keep at our fingertips. In our fast paced world, much of what
we use today is old tomorrow! Old data and software clutter
our hard disks files and do little more than take up space.
These files get in our way when we search for the files we
need.
Deleting old files is not a solution, as we may have use for
them in the future, so we end up purchasing more hard disk
space to increase our storage capacity.
Although we do have need for larger hard disk to accommodate
today's larger software and more complex systems, we can also
use what space we have more efficiently. Hard disks are not
good storage locations for inactive data. Inactive data
should be stored in a place where we no longer have to deal
with it each day, but still have access to it if needed.
STOWAWAY is a solution to the storage and maintenance of your
inactive files. It manages the process of storing and
tracking inactive data on less expensive storage media such
as diskettes.
STOWAWAY automates the task of moving files to offline
storage and cataloging them so they may be quickly located
and restored when you need them. STOWAWAY is a data and
software archival system for your personal computer.
∙ Age and select files for archival automatically based on
your specification criteria.
∙ Select files to be archived from optional scrollable
selection lists.
∙ Locate archived files quickly using hard disk archive
indexes maintained by STOWAWAY.
∙ Formats new diskettes automatically when needed.
∙ Compresses the data for maximum use of storage.
∙ Recover files to their original or new location.
∙ Archive diskette, removable hard disks, or optical
disks.
∙ Transport archives to other systems using portable
archive volumes.
∙ Create multiple archive sets to keep archives for
different users on the same system.
∙ Assign archive files optional group names which provide
categories to keep and locate files with.
∙ Add optional descriptive text to archive files.
∙ Archive and restore directories or directory trees.
∙ Verify data is properly archived before deleting it.
∙ View WordPerfect and text files from file selection
lists to determine if a file is to be archived.
∙ Assign optional expiration dates to archived files so
they may be automatically deleted when no longer needed.
∙ Run STOWAWAY using command line parameters or menus.
∙ Examine context sensitive help at any time.
∙ Copy archive volumes easily to offsite storage.
∙ Archive files in a network environment.
STOWAWAY moves files to offline disks and keeps indexes to
them at your fingertips on your hard drive. You always have
the same access to inactive files that you had when they were
on your hard disk. The index is instantly accessible to let
you locate files. When you need a file again, Stowaway will
bring it back from storage for you.
