The second edition of the well-known external hard drive and removable media management solution has been announced recently by Datacatch. The new edition assists small business and home offices manage their ever increasing volume of important information backups and archives stored on removable media.

    Lindsay Lyon, chief executive officer, Datacatch, said: "Datacatch Librarian continues to simplify data backup and archive media management for small businesses and home offices. It's not just about backing up or archiving information; it is knowing where to find it when you need it. Smaller companies and home users keep critical files like financial accounts or a favorite photo archived on external hard drives and removable media. Having Datacatch Librarian keep track of exactly where you put it is like having your own personal library assistant to keep you organized. If you have it, Datacatch will find it."

    With an raising amount of data backups and information being stored on external hard drives or removable media - including critical files, financial records, software programs, family photos, and music files; it is easy to get disorganized. Datacatch Librarian brings the utilities necessary to search, retrieve, and manage a library of removable media including external hard drivea, optical discs such as CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray and HD-DVD, USB keys, and photo memory cards. By effectively throwing a net over a computer, Datacatch Librarian recognizes whenever external hard drives or removable media are inserted or connected and in turn, catches and organizes details about the media and the files it contains, including file and folder informations, as well as thumbnail images, so the data can be retrieved quickly.

    Jon Toigo, an IT veteran and author of numerous books on disaster planning and recovery, added: "Not having a plan or back-up system in place can result in a business closing for good. Disaster recovery planning does not have to cost a lot of money. A $1 piece of media, like a CD-R to store important data such as key customer lists, vendor details ad presentations, could make a big difference in being able to keep your business running." According to a recent Small Business survey by Office Depot, 71 percent of small business employees work at a company that does not have a disaster preparedness plan.
