A glitchy hard drive can really ruin an appraiser’s week. When you’re busy, you need to minimize the technical problems that get in the way of being productive. But what happens when your hard drive fails completely? How badly would that affect your deadlines and future turn times? For many appraisers, losing working files is a catastrophe, and can take hours or days to replace or rebuild the computer so they can work again.
So, what do you do in the meantime? You could get a new hard drive or a new computer, and some appraisers have TOTAL installed on backup computer somewhere in the house or the office for just this sort of scenario. Regardless of whether you have a backup machine or simply buy a new one off the shelf, once you get TOTAL and Vault installed on the other computer, you can download your most recent reports to continue working on them in just two or three minutes.
Vault also comes with Exact to back up your settings, which makes migrating to a new machine absurdly simple. Learn more about Vault here to see why Vault with Exact is the best online storage for appraisers.
