1.1.2 Data Safeguards and Data Recovery

With Novell iFolder, data stored on the server can be easily safeguarded from system crashes and
disasters that can result in data loss. When a user saves a file to an iFolder on a local machine, the
iFolder client can automatically update the data on the iFolder server, where it immediately becomes
available for an organization's regular network backup operations. iFolder makes it easier for IT
managers to ensure that all of an organization's critical data is protected.

1.1.3 Reliable Data Security

With Novell iFolder, LDAP-based authentication for access to stored data helps prevent
unauthorized network access.
