Yes, we’re blushing – but we’re not so humble we won’t share this great review from FindMySoft www.findmysoft.com
Selkie Rescue Data Recovery – Data Recovery, Backup and Migration Tool
“Did your computer crash and you need to recover important files from it? Did a virus compromise your computer, encrypted an important file and now you can’t access it? Do you need to move all your important stuff from one computer to another with ease?
If you answered “Yes” to all the questions above, then know there is a specialized piece of software that can do all those things with ease. This piece of software is called Selkie Rescue Data Recovery (formerly known as Lifeboat Data Rescue). This Tugboat Enterprises-developed application, which weighs in at little under 22MB, can do three things and do them well.
First of all you should know that you can use Selkie Rescue Data Recovery to bring back to life files from a computer that crashed. The cool thing is that Selkie Rescue Data Recovery can recover these files even if your operating system refuses to boot up. Selkie Rescue Data Recovery can bypass the operating system because it is a bootable CD-based file server.
Second of all, you should know that Selkie Rescue Data Recovery can backup important files. To my mind, you should always backup any piece of information that you consider important. Should a virus compromise our system and encrypt that file for example (something that ransomware does all the time), you need not sweat it because you have a backup. Locate and remove the virus safe in the knowledge that you have a backup of that important file – so you will not lose it.
Thirdly, but definitely not lastly, Selkie Rescue Data Recovery can be used as a migration tool. You can easily migrate files from one computer to another by using the functionality that Selkie Rescue Data Recovery provides.
Selkie Rescue Data Recovery is three tools in one: data recovery tool, backup tool, and migration tool.

It’s a good example of exposure that is already optimized and helping our company get a little bit more traffic, and in this business, every little bit helps!
There are many blog pieces and tech news items suggesting that Microsoft is failing. A lot of them point to the fact that for the first time since there have been Operating Systems, the Windows OS dropped below 90% market dominance in November 2008, and then continued to slide while Mac OS continued to creep up. In December 2009 Mac’s represented just under 9% of the marketplace. In 2009 Windows moved back over 90% and those who predicted that Windows 7 would have no impact were wrong, since Windows 7 has continued to pick up a larger share of the OS market, and by the end of 2009 Windows had again moved to over 92% of the market.
It’s astonishing that any one OS can dominate a market so effectively, especially considering there are alternatives and some of them with better reputations for stability or customer service.
One of the more interesting articles about Microsoft’s potential to fail is actually more focused on the corporate culture that is now eating itself alive and obstructing the kind of innovative thinking that was needed to make Windows a market giant. No innovation means eventual loss of market share and an inability to compete as other products evolve.
Dick Brass writes with conviction about the obstacles to ongoing success in his New York Times Op-Ed piece which says:
“Microsoft has become a clumsy, uncompetitive innovator…
“Microsoft’s huge profits — $6.7 billion for the past quarter — come almost entirely from Windows and Office programs first developed decades ago. Like G.M. with its trucks and S.U.V.’s, Microsoft can’t count on these venerable products to sustain it forever. Perhaps worst of all, Microsoft is no longer considered the cool or cutting-edge place to work. There has been a steady exit of its best and brightest.
“What happened? Unlike other companies, Microsoft never developed a true system for innovation. Some of my former colleagues argue that it actually developed a system to thwart innovation. Despite having one of the largest and best corporate laboratories in the world, and the luxury of not one but three chief technology officers, the company routinely manages to frustrate the efforts of its visionary thinkers.”
It’s a valid observation and one that Microsoft should take to heart. Many companies that grow big become bureaucratic, and like governments or large institutions they obstruct their own future success. Unlike governments or institutions, they are accountable to the marketplace and the marketplace will eventually punish them. Like G.M. and so many others. To read more of Dick Brass’ article see:
It’s always great to have recognition from industry leaders, and 3D2F.com is a great site for software downloads that has just published its review of Selkie Rescue. It reads:
“Selkie Rescue – a professional recovery tool that anyone can use”
If you ask your friends and colleagues about the most efficient method of protecting their information, they will most probably mention regular backups. However, few of us perform backups on a regular basis and we often start regretting our ignorance only after we have a huge problem and no solution at hand. Data corruption may cost a fortune depending on the importance of the lost information and the degree to which the data has been damaged. However, you can save money, time and countless nerve cells by using specialized software that will help you restore your information and get back to work as soon as possible.
Selkie Rescue is a perfect example of such an application. Simple, intuitive and always efficient, it restores information even in the most hopeless situations and generally enables users to continue working with their files in under 30 minutes, which is incredibly fast compared to the regular routine, which involves locating a data recovery service, contacting them, scheduling your recovery and waiting for the results. The principle of the program’s operation is simple — when your OS crashes after a virus attack, a power failure or a hardware malfunction, Selkie Rescue recovers and transfers the data from the broken computer containing your files to the destination system. Moreover, this software can be used as a powerful migration tool that will greatly facilitate the transfer of files from one system to another. You will be surprised how easy the whole process will be, so don’t hesitate to try Selkie Rescue in action!

There is such a buzz about ‘cloud hosting’ from the gigantic tech companies. When you are Microsoft or Google, you can create a buzz just by emailing a memo to your staff saying ‘everybody talk about cloud hosting’ and as long as some of them do it, voila, instant buzz.
So, other than it being a really cool phrase, what does it mean? Cloud hosting, or cloud computing, is a lot like having a gmail or yahoo mail account, except instead of just having your email, it has your everything in it. Your EVERYTHING: accounts, banking, baby photos, documents, things you forget are in your computer until it’s too late. All of that, on a computer somewhere far away, with all the data going through cables across the continent or beamed somewhere. It’s a ‘cloud’. So you use the keyboard and monitor at your desk, and all the things you ’save’ are saved in the ‘cloud’ and this is going to make your life better, according to the people who love cloud computing.
The main reason they tell us we should love the cloud is that it’s a big, secure, friendly system. All your data is protected by the really expensive infrastructure and its security settings. Things are encrypted and backed up and behind firewalls, etc., etc. Just press ’save’ and let them do the rest. Some tech reviewers love it. Consider the Globe and Mail’s Dakshana Bascaramurty writing about how the cloud can protect you in case you’re in the middle of a presentation and you get the Blue Screen of Death. Then, all your data is safe on the cloud even if your desktop crashes.
But I ask – how do you know it’s safe? It might be THERE but how do you know it’s securely stored? Also, what if something happened to the cloud? Human error is something you can always count on, and disasters happen all the time.
So, if you have the Blue Screen of Death and your data is on your desktop, why not just reach for an easy solution to get access to the trapped data? You can use Selkie and have the files you need almost immediately, then move the whole contents of the hard drive to another computer automatically if you like.
Call me paranoid, but I don’t trust ANYONE with my data. When I was a teenager I remember sending in rolls of film to be developed and sometimes there were photos missing! We’d get the negatives back, and I’d flip through the pictures looking for the photos I was waiting for but they weren’t in the envelope. You know why? Because HUMANS were involved and they wanted the photos and they took them. You know how often humans peek into things they shouldn’t? Every day.
So, forget the cloud hosting – and keep Selkie handy. Be paranoid AND protected!
