Spare Backup Bundled on Sony VAIO PCs

Spare Backup, Inc. announced that its flagship application, Spare Backup, will be bundled on all Sony VAIO PCs shipped to retail.

Spare Backup is the first totally automated online backup service that intelligently selects, secures and stores files without any user intervention, automatically backing up documents, email, music, photos and other PC files on a continuous basis according to a schedule and parameters of the user’s choice.

Additionally, the configuration on new VAIO computers enables customers to transfer their data from their old computer to their new PC at no cost. The software bundle also includes a PC migration service that enables users to easily retain and move all of their content should they upgrade their computer in the future. Customers will be presented with the opt-out offer upon initialization of their computer.

"Spare Backup, Inc. is extremely pleased with the addition of Sony PCs to our list of distribution partners," said Cery Perle, CEO of Spare Backup, Inc. "Both parties are working diligently to expand our partnership. Sony has a reputation for delivering quality products, solutions and services to its customers and we are excited that they view Spare Backup as the type of value added service that provides consumers the critical tools needed to maximize and protect their personal content in an increasingly digital age."

Spare Backup is the only company to offer true PC archiving, retaining content until the customer deletes the information from Spare Backup, not just the PC. Spare Backup is also the only company that allows consumers a choice in automatic throttling to minimize CPU impact. Customers can throttle while working on their PC (CPU), while working online (bandwidth) or when working on a low-end machine (auto-pause feature).

Additionally, Spare Backup’s controlled specialized customer key process allows for the tightest security protection of customer content in the industry. Content backed up to the Spare Backup system is protected in RAID 6 data centers making Spare Backup an excellent digital insurance policy.
