The SanDisk Cruzer Titanium Plus even helps protect the user against accidentally deleting important files. Files deleted from the drive can be easily recovered by signing into the online backup account. "This is true 'set it and forget it' data protection. Many users have told us they worry about losing their data, and now SanDisk is reducing that anxiety through an innovative new form of online backup," said Hezy Rotman, vice president and general manager of SanDisk's USB Division. "We believe the Cruzer Titanium Plus will encourage people to use flash drives for storing important data, not just transferring files from one computer to another."
