ANNOUNCES RELEASE OF WINBACKUP 2.0 PROFESSIONAL, THE NEW BACKUP
AND RECOVERY MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE FOR THE SMB MARKET.
WinBackup
2.0 Professional delivers ease of use, superior performance,
guaranteed reliability, reduced cost of ownership, full features
and wide backup media coverage.
7th September 2005 -
Uniblue Systems, a leading provider of backup and recovery management
software for the SoHo and SMB market, today announced the release
of WinBackup 2.0 Professional.
The latest market research shows that about
60% of small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) do not backup
and are thus prone to the threats of data loss arising from
human error, hard drive crashes, hardware failures, virus attacks,
theft and other adverse conditions. Central to any Information
Security strategy and architecture is a powerful backup and
recovery management solution. WinBackup 2.0 Professional allows
SMBs to regularly and faithfully reproduce their continually
evolving data assets and to recover these assets when and if
disaster strikes.
WinBackup 2.0 Professional focuses on reducing
the time to setup and administer regular backups through an
easy-to-use and powerful software. Its intuitive graphical user
interface allows users to set-up backups and restores immediately
at the click of a button. With its new compression engine, WinBackup
2.0 is one of the fastest backup and recovery management solutions
available to SMBs. The enhanced encryption and data verification
algorithms also guarantee data security, integrity and accuracy
of restores. WinBackup 2.0 is a cost-effective software package
that has a wide variety of features and allows the backup of
data on home computers, workstations and laptops to a variety
of media including CD/DVD, Tape, hard drives and shared resources.
Backup Needs of SMB:
"Businesses are becoming aware of the importance of backing
up their data to prevent data loss", said Bosse Malmberg,
Chief Executive Officer at Uniblue. "They want powerful
protection for their data and minimum downtime when disaster
strikes. Moreover, their business demands that they are up and
running 24x7, so the time-window available for implementing
a backup strategy is becoming smaller and smaller".
"The release of WinBackup 2.0 Professional
marks an important milestone for Uniblue", continues Malmberg.
"We felt that the previous version of WinBackup would not
be able to give our customers the performance and reliability
that they need today. These needs call for a highly sophisticated
backup and recovery management engine that reduces the overall
cost of ownership. Also, we believe that a larger number of
SMBs will start backing their data, if the software is simple
to set up and use. We have spent the past two years in development
rewriting the backup and recovery engine from scratch to create
an easy-to-use and intuitive product that delivers superior
performance, guaranteed reliability, value for money, full features
and wide backup media coverage".
Email Backup:
"Email backup and restore is a different kettle of fish"
exclaims Malmberg. With file-centric backup companies can only
backup and restore single mailbox database files. This just
doesn't do the trick. Restores become long processes with 100%
business continuity not being guaranteed. We had to think about
providing something over and above file-centric backup. WinBackup
Professional 2.0 takes email backup and restore a step further
with the WinBackup Outlook Agent which allows users to backup
individual emails and folders" states the CEO.
Ease of Use:
WinBackup 2.0 Professional specifically addresses the need to
have an easy-to-use backup software. The package has a system
of shortcuts to the more popular Windows applications, all common
web browsers and email programs, and to the 'Documents and Settings'
folder. The Shortcut to Outlook lets employees backup and restore
their single mailbox database file, registry settings, user
preferences and templates directly. In this way, non-technical
users are able to backup all their important data at the click
of a button. This shortcut library will be continually updated
to further enhance the ease-of-use functionality of WinBackup.
The graphical-user interface is also extremely user-friendly
and highly intuitive. It has been designed with the aim to allow
users to install it within minutes and to start using it immediately.
WinBackup minimizes the time to deploy the solution, the need
for product training and greatly increases the likelihood of
employees backing up their data on a more regular basis.
Performance and Reliability:
The most important focus of WinBackup 2.0 Professional is to
ensure that the data is backed up and restored quickly, securely
and accurately. Speed becomes critical in avoiding employee
downtime during backups and restores. The compression algorithm
has been rewritten to increase the speed of backup and restore.
The encryption engine ensures complete data protection with
varying levels of security including AES 256 bit level encryption.
WinBackup 2.0 Professional guarantees data integrity and guarantees
100% accurate restores through bit-level and CRC verification
algorithms. WinBackup Outlook Agent and the Outlook Shortcuts
also guarantee 100% accuracy of email restore. The software
provides SMBs with the functionality of enterprise-level software
solutions and contains specific features that minimize the overall
burden on profits thus greatly reducing overall cost of ownership.
Availability and Pricing:
WinBackup 2.0 is available immediately through the Uniblue Partner
Network members and directly from the Uniblue Website. Trial
versions are available free-of-charge from the Uniblue Website.
