Smart Data Guardian & PC Resilience Suite

Published on 07/09/2025Marketing Opportunities

Niche Opportunity: Many users often move important folders like 'Documents' or 'Downloads' to secondary drives for extra space or better organization. However, this setup can lead to data loss if that drive fails due to issues like power outages. Current backup solutions might not cover these mapped folders or lack detailed recovery options for non-OS system components. The problem goes beyond just losing data; it also means the hassle of repairing or reinstalling the OS and setting up a personalized user environment all over again. A SaaS product, like a "Smart Data Guardian & PC Resilience Suite," could address this by providing smart, location-agnostic backups for critical user data (documents, photos, game saves, browser profiles). This ensures that even if the mapped folders are on a failing drive, the data remains safe. Additionally, it could offer system health monitoring (like SMART data for drives and power supply stability warnings) and guided recovery tools to restore user environments and common application settings after hardware or minor OS issues, without needing a full OS reinstall. The SaaS model would allow for continuous monitoring, cloud storage integration, and up-to-date recovery protocols for new Windows versions and common application updates.

Product Form: A desktop application with cloud storage integration, offered on a subscription model based on storage size and features (e.g., versioning, number of devices).

Expected Revenue: $10-$30 per month per user, depending on storage and advanced features. With 2,000 users, this could generate $20,000 - $60,000 per month.

Hi friends! I have a few SSDs in my PC with two of them being for gaming and one being strictly for windows. My windows SSD is small (250gb) and my documents is large due to my gaming habits

This worked! I’m having to reinstall/repair windows as it seems to have corrupted some things but honestly, that’s a whole lot less inconvenient than having to rebuilt my pc again if it fried

If you can't get BIOS to even recognize it, it is toast, BIOS has to see it before any OS or recovery software can. Recovering those files is theoretically possible but will cost thousands.

If you had your documents folder mapped to that drive, go into your user profile, right click the documents link that is there, go to the location tab and change it to one of the other drives

It was only games and such on that drive, thankfully so easy to replace. I have backups saved in other locations for pictures. My computer is just fussy because things were installed on that
