Wipe data

Wiping data is a process which allows users to completely erase data from a disk. When data is wiped, the sectors of the disk where files and folders were situated physically are rewritten with zeroes (the data can't be recovered) in contrast to a process of ordinary files deletion when only the pointer to the file in the file allocation table is deleted (files in this case can be restored).

Testimonials and User Comments

I was using Norton Ghost® previously, but it doesn’t come close providing the value and ease of use I have found with Acronis True Image Deluxe. Thanks for a great product!
