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 Standard. By making regular data backups home
and small office users protect themselves against hard drive
crashes, hardware failures, virus attacks, theft and other conditions
that threaten security and data loss. WinBackup 2.0 is a solution
that 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 home users and
small businesses. 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.
"The release of WinBackup 2.0 Standard
marks an important milestone for Uniblue", said Bosse Malmberg,
Chief Executive Officer at Uniblue. "More and more people
and businesses are becoming aware of the importance of backing
up their data whether it is personal emails to loved ones, family
photographs or financial and other business records. Also, people
and businesses want backup software that is simple to use, fast
and gives 100% accurate restores. We felt that the previous
version of WinBackup would not be able to give our customers
the performance and reliability that they need. 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.
WinBackup 2.0 is definitely one of the fastest and most reliable
software packages in its class."
With the explosive growth of data and electronic
communication, backups are crucial even to the home and small
office user. The threats of hard drive crashes, hardware failures,
virus attacks, theft and other conditions that threaten security
and data loss are very real. Ease of use is critical to greater
take up and to more regular use of backup software among small
offices and home users. In addition, backup software must be
fast and completely reliable. It must provide value for money
through its wealth of features.
"By creating a system of shortcuts to the
more popular Windows applications, including all common web
browsers and email programs, and to the 'Documents and Settings'
folder, non-technical users are able to backup all their important
data at the click of a button. This shortcut library will expand
immensely over time", explains Emil Malmberg, Chief Technical
Officer at Uniblue. "We made sure that our graphical user
interface is extremely user-friendly and intuitive. The philosophy
was to create a strong software package that allows users to
simply install it and start using it immediately."
"The most important focus of WinBackup
2.0 Standard is to ensure that the data is backed up and restored
quickly, securely and accurately. We revisited the compression
algorithms to increase the speed of backup and restore. We also
rewrote the encryption engine to ensure that small offices and
business users can protect their data with passwords and AES
128 bit level encryption. We have also included CRC verification
algorithms to greatly enhance the accuracy of restore"
continued Malmberg.
"WinBackup 1.0 has won many awards and
industry acclaim for its ease of use, speed, reliability and
wealth of features. We believe that WinBackup 2.0 Standard will
be even more successful" says the Swedish CEO. "Whether
you run a home business and need a safe and intuitive way to
ensure that all of your critical files are safe and secure,
or you're a home user who wants to protect your financial information,
personal email, family pictures, and other irreplaceable files,
WinBackup 2.0 Standard provides you with what you need".
