news::: (COMTEX) B: QUARTERDECK: Quarterdeck introduces safe and simple cloni B: QUARTERDECK: Quarterdeck introduces safe and simple cloning of hard disk drives JUL 2, 1998, M2 Communications - Quarterdeck (NASDAQ:QDEK) has launched DiskClone Regular Strength and DiskClone Extra Strength - two simple and easy to use products for solo computer users and IT managers to copy hard disk drives, whilst maintaining all existing data, files, folders, partitions; and settings. With the imminent release of Windows 98 many computer users will need to upgrade to larger capacity hard drives. DiskClone Regular Strength is an ideal product in this situation for transferring valuable data on an existing hard drive to a new one, ensuring that users transferring hard drives do not need to go through the time consuming task of copying and then reinstalling data and operating systems from floppy disks. Equally IT managers are coping with more and more PCs in their organisation and subsequently face the issues that come with having to regularly upgrade PCs, losing all data and settings when a PC crashes, as well installing new PCs as working machines. DiskClone Extra Strength allows IT managers to make an exact image of a hard drive onto a Zip or a Jaz drive - an ideal scenario for disaster recovery and new PC installations. The drive image can also be saved on to the network and has the option of being password protected so that security and software piracy is not an issue. Commenting on the new DiskClone products, Christine Allenet, European marketing director for Quarterdeck, said: "Figures from MC show that 16 to 18 million computer users will upgrade from Windows 95 and 3.x to Windows 98 during its first year of release, and the majority of these users will require new. larger hard drives to run their systems at optimum levels. (Quarterdeck is in the business of making computing as easy and trouble free as possible for individual PC users and IT managers alike - both versions of DiskClone save users time, effort and money by making upgrades and installations simple."
