BullGuard Releases Backup 8.0 at Euros 40 per Year
New features include improved encryption and compression options as well as 10GB of online backup.
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on March 20, 2008 at 3:37 pmBullGuard releases BullGuard Backup 8.0, the second version of its
stand-alone backup offering. New features include improved encryption
and compression options, a larger Online Backup Drive and a unique
Support experience. BullGuard has been developing backup technologies
since 2003.
With BullGuard Backup users can easily set
up, schedule and configure their backups. An upgradable 10GB Online
Backup Drive is included in the subscription. Backups to local media
are also supported as are email backups for Outlook, Outlook Express,
Windows Mail and Thunderbird email clients.
“My favourite
new feature is the integration of our Online Drive with Windows
Explorer,” says Theis Søndergaard, CTO and Co-Founder of BullGuard.
“The Online Drive shows up as a drive in Windows Explorer allowing
users to simply drag and drop files to and from the Online Drive. This
makes the Online Drive much more accessible.”
Under the
default scheduling setting, BullGuard Backup 8.0 will automatically
launch backup profiles to run when the computer is idle, making sure
backups are performed regularly and without interrupting the user.
Other scheduling options are also available.
In BullGuard
Backup 8.0 files are compressed before being transferred to the Online
Drive, significantly speeding up the transfer process. Users also have
the option of compressing their files during storage, allowing more
files to be stored. As in the previous version, files are encrypted
during transfer, but users can now also choose to encrypt files during
storage.
Remote access, the revolutionary new feature in
BullGuard’s Support structure that was first introduced in BullGuard
Internet Security 8.0, is also part of BullGuard Backup 8.0. “With
remote access, users can grant our supporters temporary access to their
computers. This will enable our Support team to handle questions even
more efficiently”, says Søndergaard. Users can access BullGuard Support
24/7 via email or live chat.
Backup 8.0 is available immediately. A one-year subscription costs €40.
