From NTI, 5-in-1 Home PC Backup Software ($60)

NTI Corporation introduces NTI Backup Now EZ 5, the new version of its home PC backup software.

Like its predecessor, this 5th edition delivers an easy-to-use solution for protecting PC data. In addition to cloud backup, file and folder backup, and PC backup, two solutions for social media backup and mobile device backup are included, making this version an integrated 5-in-1 solution.

Social media backup enables users to backup their contents in Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube accounts.

Mobile device backup supports both iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. A downloadable iOS or Android app works in conjunction with a PC resident agent to deliver this convenient solution, which helps users backup photos and videos on their mobile devices. This feature enables users to free up storage space on their smartphones or tablets, thus allowing them to take more photos and capture more videos. Other enhancements in version 5 include expanded support of public clouds including Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, and Google Drive in addition to NTI Cloud. The total free space available on these supported clouds currently amounts to 22GB, which is a free bonus to users.

“Backup Now EZ has always been rated as best-in-class backup software for home PCs; its install base of more than 20 million users attests to its quality and reliability. True to its mantra of ‘Backup Everything’, this newest version adds two major backup categories to deliver nothing less than a complete upgrade, it’s worthy of attention from existing users and new customers alike,” says David Yao, NTI’s CEO.

NTI Backup Now EZ 5 is compatible with Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, and Vista. Its mobile app supports iOS and Android.

NTI Backup Now EZ 5 is available through the NTI online store and at select retail outlets for a $59.99 MSRP. During a launch promotion period that expires on 8/31/2016, NTI offers a special download price of $39.99, which is $20 off the MSRP.
