Free Mac data loss prevention tool kit
Paragon Software released the free Rescue Kit for Mac OS X – Lite which allows users to recover quickly and easily from system problems by rescuing important data and restoring their system back to its original state.
The software helps to prevent data loss in the event of a disaster such as a system crash or other mishap.
