Save My Hard

If you don’t pay close attention, you may end up deleting everything on a hard disk when all you were trying to do was format a flash drive. Anyone can make mistakes, but some are more costly than others.

Save My Hard is a relatively simple program designed to prevent just such a scenario. It runs in the system tray and displays an alert whenever you attempt to format a large drive, thus saving potentially important files.

The setup process is remarkably straightforward, and the application is launched and sent to the system tray as soon as the installation is completed. If you set Save My Hard to start with the OS automatically, you never have to worry about your hard drives again.

The protection service and notifications can be disabled at any time, and you can also control which drives should be protected; to do so, just set the maximum size of the drives that you should be allowed to format. Since flash drives are usually quite small, you will still be able to format these at any time.

Once everything has been configured, you can just let the program run in the background and focus on whatever else you need to do. Save My Hard is very unobtrusive, so it will never get in your way.

When you attempt to format a drive that is protected based on your configurations, the application displays an error message and blocks the format process. If you are certain that you wish to delete everything on the drive, simply disable the protection service from the program’s system tray menu.

When it comes down to it, Save My Hard is a very simple application, but it performs the job it was designed for without reproach. Just install it, set the drive parameters and never worry about formatting one of them accidentally ever again.
