A Word From Our CLIENTS
"Panurgy’s Total Data Protection saved significant data from being lost! Recently, Ransomware attacked a PC on our network! An entire volume on a shared drive was encrypted and the virus was spreading. Quickly, Panurgy removed the “host” PC from the network and was able to remove the infected files on the server. After the encryption files were deleted, Panurgy began a file restore of the files from our latest backup. We were up and running again quickly. Following this experience, I am a believer in Panurgy’s Total Data Protection. We were able to avoid a potential loss of significant data, which could not have been restored if we did not have the backup data at the ready with Panurgy."
