SPOOK is software based two-in-one solution for all your data backup and security needs. It has been specially designed for general computer users who are not experts. The kind and volume of data may vary between users but the question of safety remains the same. There is nothing worse than losing critical data without having a backup. Although conventional software like MS Backup and other similar shareware utilities try to provide a solution to this critical problem, a common user still remains without data backup or security.

If a floppy or a part of it is bad during backup, the whole process needs to be repeated and sometimes is not successful even after several attempts.

Automatically checks the floppy(s) and marks the bad regions during backup. Will always carry you through at one go, taking care of all disk problems.

Of course third-party software like Norton Disk Doctor, Scandisk etc. can be used to prepare a set of good disks before backup, but for a few days only after which the user stops taking backup. After all time is money.

No separate software or checking required. A built-in disk doctor ensures that data is always put to the verified sectors giving multiple advantages.. saving of time, no reception and reliability.

Still after taking backup on 6 disk(s) for 6 months using a precious 1/2 an hour daily it won't be a surprise if the restore process fails on the 2nd disk due to a simple bad sector and the software refuses to continue. 80% of your data is lost while the remaining 20% is unusable.

The data would be restored safely when you need it most even if the media gets partially damaged. Although utmost care is taken during backup, the floppy may still fail but spook will not. All files across all disks would be restored except those which happen to reside on those bad sectors.

If your data is very large splitting across multiple disk has to be done either through separate software or through complex commands.

Excellent data compression esp. of data files. The data is automatically compressed and split across multiple floppies as required. No extra command or effort required on the part of user.

Data can be backed up only to a single target i.e. either to a floppy or to hard-disk at one time. When data security is an issue one target is generally not good for anybody.

More than one target can be specified at one go i.e. it can be backed up inside the hard disk and to one or more of your floppy disk(s) at the same time. It is as easy as typing A:;\C:\DOS\MEM.EXE; C:\DATA\DATA.SPK instead of just A:

Most utilities are not menu driven and need long and complex commands from the user to be operated successfully.

Select the files visually and specify the password and destination(s), SPOOK does the rest.

Directly access is protected by password. Booting from floppy would by-pass most such protections.

No directly access protection is provided as it is considered to be a half-hearted approach to critical issue like data security.

A lot of standard encryption tools are available.
(Of course, their crackers or breaking tools are also available as easily)

Uses a proprietary method, which is amazingly fast and secure. Algorithm technique varies with password and data, avoiding pattern traps.

Some security software, store the password in some from which provides a possibility of hacking it out.

Password is 20-character alphanumeric providing almost infinite combinations and is not stored in any form and hence no chance of breaking it.

Encryption method or algorithm is fixed and does not change according to the password or the data being secured.

Complex encryption coupled with compression changes the form of data twice thus making it extremely secure. Checksum ensures reliability.

Even after encryption the data is kept as files and therefore no hiding of data or CONCEALMENT is provided.

CONCEALMENT is what sets aside SPOOK. Disks used for storage through SPOOK will appear and behave perfectly like empty disks and programs into which data is stuffed will run normally without any change. Data INVISIBLE to outsiders.
