StorageSync User’s Guide 
  File Revisioning 
StorageSync can be used to back up the same file up to 20 times as different versions or 
revisions. With File Revisioning, you can select the file version(s) you want to restore or 
restore only the latest versions. This feature is particularly useful for managing frequently 
modified documents that require version control. 
Why StorageSync? 
Your valuable data is at the mercy of the next goof-up, catastrophe, hacker, or virus. In fact, 
the loss of data ranks as the greatest fear of most computer users and organizations alike, and 
it always seems to happen at the worst possible time. Recovery, if possible at all, can cost 
precious time and money. 
Data loss occurs for a variety of reasons: 
  Accidental deletion 
  Hardware or software failure 
  Computer theft 
  Human error 
  Computer viruses 
  Natural disasters 
  Environmental hazards 
  Power outages 
  File corruption 
  Virus attack 
Backing up your data with StorageSync is your only insurance against data loss. 
The High Cost of Lost Data 
Data loss can be very expensive. For businesses, lost data is not only costly in dollars, 
downtime, and productivity, but also in terms of survival. According to the National Archives 
and Records Administration in Washington, D.C., 93% of companies that lose their data for 
10 days or more due to a disaster filed for bankruptcy within one year of the disaster. 50% of 
businesses that found themselves without data for this same time period filed for bankruptcy 
immediately. 
For avocational computer users, lost data can make files irretrievably ruined. This means all 
the personal finances, tax information, MP3s, digital photos, and address book information 
that took months, and even years, to compile are all just a fading memory. 
From this, you can see that data is a valuable resource and should be managed as such, like 
cash, facilities or any other asset.
