That’s Not a Hard Drive, It’s a Weapon: FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 06-20-08

June 20, 2008 by Sallie Goetsch Leave a Comment

The pre-release MiniStation DataVault seemed so light, so airy, so harmless, as Jay Pechek passed it to me in the Market Bar in San Francisco’s Ferry Building. “The Defense Department actually classified this as munitions because of the level of encryption,” he explained. Unlike many devices, where you can bypass a Windows password by accessing it through DOS, there is no backdoor on this … [Read more...]

How do YOU Back up Your Computer? FileSlinger™ Backup Reminder 12-28-07
