Have you ever wasted valuable time looking for a document on your computer? You know it’s “there somewhere” but you just can’t seem to find it. You eventually remember to use the Search function, but it takes a long time because you have so many files on your computer, and if you have a large number of documents containing the keyword in question, you spend even more time opening and closing each one until you locate the one you need.

As we all know our inboxes have turned into modern day filing systems – and just like in the ‘old’ days they can get chaotic and out of hand in no time.

In today’s world of virus attacks and power outages, computer crashes are not uncommon. With every crash comes the possibility of data corruption; even more so if there was a write operation in progress at the time of the crash.
Database files, by design, are among those most frequently accessed. Read and write operations happen all the time in a working database. Chances are high that the next power outage will happen just at the moment a database was updating or adding a record. In that case, after your computer reboots, you will not be able to access data in the database.
