Data Transfer and Backup

CA Desktop DNA Migrator 2007 enables easy and quick data transfer from PC to PC, saving countless hours of moving files, folders, email address books, settings and more to your new or upgraded PC. In addition, the product helps safeguard information with regularly scheduled backups to help ensure that data is recovered in a disaster event, like a system crash.

While not as ominous a threat as hackers and identity thieves, backing up data is a crucial aspect to PC maintenance. “For many people, their computer crashing and losing their personal files, pictures, music files and everything else is a frustrating and unnecessary emotional and financial loss,” continued Luft. “It is always a good idea to store your data to a disc and keep it in a safe place.”

Key features of CA Desktop DNA Migrator 2007 include:

* Improved Performance: Data transfer is up to 50 percent faster than previous releases
* Improved Automated Disk-Spanning: Automatically spans DNA files to the size of a CD-ROM and places the files in a folder on the desktop for easy backup to a CD-ROM, DVD or other removable media
* Easy-to-Use Wizard Interface: User-friendly interface quickly guides you through the steps to perform the migration
* Easy Backup: Schedule backups of your DNA file to run on a recurring basis and save it to a CD or DVD to protect your settings and data.
* Undo File: An undo file icon is automatically created and placed on the desktop, allowing easy return of your PC to its pre-migration state with a simple double click
* Web Update: Keeps software up-to-date
