GFI Backup 2009 allows home users to keep regular and updated copies of all important files and also assists in the safeguarding of data – in case something should go wrong. This particular product is GFI’s first release of a recovery product designed specifically for home users.
According to the CEO of GFI Software, Walter Scott, “Security threats do not only affect businesses but home users as well. In many cases, loss of data for individuals is heartbreaking because memories, personal documents and important files are lost due to hard disk failure or virus attacks,”. Scott goes on to say: “We firmly believe in helping people be better prepared and we are doing this by giving home users a full-featured backup software product for free.”
GFI Backup 2009 is an easy-to-use backup and recovery software solution that allows users to backup all their important files and, when needed, recover data within minutes using the product’s wizard-driven interface. GFI Backup 2009 does not use a proprietary format – all data is saved to a common ZIP file, making it easy to restore data to a computer that may not have GFI Backup installed on it.
Data can be stored on nearly every storage device available such as internal or external hard disks, local area network (LAN) locations, CD/DVD media, removable media devices (USB sticks, memory sticks, flash memory, floppy disks, etc.) and remote locations using FTP with upload auto-resume. Data can also be protected with military-strength 256-bit AES strong encryption.
GFI Backup 2009 is currently available for home users. The company will release a small business/corporate version later this year.
“At GFI Software, we believe that we should do what we can to help our customers protect their data – whether it be important business information or personal memories. We view ourselves not only as a vendor but also as a partner that understands our customers’ needs and is actively doing something through our “We Care” initiative to help them through these tough economic times,” added Scott.
