Unlimited Version Available for Free Download:
"Our experience in the backup market is, up to a certain extent, rather frustrating", exclaims Bosse Malmberg, Chief Executive Officer at Uniblue. "People just don't believe that they can lose their data to something as mundane as hard drive crashes and human error. They are very conscious about such threats as viruses and spyware and people walk that extra mile to protect their data from malware - but when it comes to ensuring that this data can be reproduced, it's a different kettle of fish."

"We have released WinBackup 1.86 in its entirety for free to address this particular problem. We believe that if people can get a powerful and award-winning backup and recovery management software, they will be more inclined to start backing up their data religiously in the same way they protect their data against spyware and viruses."

"This release is available at our new backup and storage website, backupanswers.com. Users may log on at any time and start their free downloads - no questions asked! We encourage people to use the product regularly to ensure that if disaster does strike, then they can easily resume where they left off".

Ease of Use, Efficient and Accurate:
"WinBackup 1.86 is generally considered as one of the easiest to use backup and restore products on the market", states Malmberg. "You can perform your first backup just following four simple steps - all it takes is about ten minutes. WinBackup features Windows-familiar user-friendly interface and a set of highly intuitive icons, to make it extremely easy to set up and run regular backups."

WinBackup 1.86 presents a Windows Explorer style interface to help anyone quickly locate the folders and files that require backup. With three distinct ways of selecting files, WinBackup 1.86 gives full peace of mind that all data is being backed up easily, efficiently and accurately. "As a home user you need the peace of mind that all your emails, family photos and documents are easily selected for backup and can be accurately restored", adds Malmberg. "Similarly, as a SMB you need to make sure that your employees are backing up all the data they create and maintain and that restores allow you to continue where you left off when disaster strikes. Either way, WinBackup 1.86 features a highly efficient and reliable method for reproducing all your data with 100% reliability".

"In this respect, WinBackup 1.86 guarantees that all data is restored since it has the appropriate mechanisms to verify data integrity. WinBackup maximizes reliability through a robust and strong recovery management engine that verifies consistency, accuracy and correctness of all business data", explains Malmberg.

"We are offering home and business users a no-pain-much-gain offer, i.e., ensuring 100% data recovery completely free!"
