How To Recover Data Before Self-Destruction

You can use LAlarm laptop alarm to recover data on a stolen laptop. The following steps configure LAlarm to transfer your data to your gmail account in case of laptop theft.

1. Enable account lockout: Run Setup > Click Options link > Lockout tab > Configure link. Or see the LAlarm manual for enabling account lock and auditing policy.
2. Enable Data Recovery (see Enable data recovery topic in the manual)

Note:

• The file will be emailed to your email account when an account is locked out. For example, a thief attempted to logon to your account with incorrect passwords for a number of times.
• If you have important data on your laptop, you should backup the data daily. This data recovery function is not intended to substitute the daily backup.
• Please read the LAlarm product manual before using LAlarm. The LAlarm manual is accessible by pressing the [Help] button in the LAlarm setup program.
