This application will store all of your account numbers in one place; from rewards cards to frequent flyer account numbers, this app will give you quick access to any account number, no matter how infrequently you use them.

    Like you said backing up and securing your data is vital and most people do not do this. I use DataVault to store all my passwords and this app works well.

    I use LastPass to store all my accounts. I love this application because I can use it on my mobile phone and any web browser that I use on either my laptop or desktop. It is such a versatile application, and very secure.

      Yeah, I have a daily backup for just that reason. Disasters are inevitable, after all.

    I was not aware about WaveSecure, BURPsync applications. I am happy to see other alternatives to protect data. I usually take backups on other HDs or on DVDs periodically.

    Now a days a blogger saves lots of data in net. But he faces trouble when the data hijacked or opened to all. I have never heard any of these apps. But as you said I need to use them from now on.

    Great list of apps. I reckon these are extremely important for those who have considerably important data. The password storage software are really useful in managing passwords. The data erasers are also a must for data security.

    The most important part of information technology is somewhat ignored- security and protection of data. I hope your apps will help users in getting their data secured.
