Conducting complete and incremental backups for notebooks with one manageable device is now possible through an Apricorn product, EZ-Backit. This 2.5-inch hard drive portable backup device for notebook computers can be ordered via resellers from AXiZ, Apricorn`s distributor in SA.
"Mobile road warriors have been looking for a seamless, go-anywhere, backup device," says Patrick Reeves, mobile product manager at AXiZ. "Especially ideal for mobile users, EZ-Backit is a true plug-and-play backup solution."
The device comes with two types of backup software, including Apricorn`s EZ-GIG software, which makes an exact mirror image of a hard disk drive. The companion backup software enables users to perform incremental backups and schedule automatic backup sessions with a simple "point and click" operation.
EZ-Backit`s one-step restore feature allows freedom from data loss worries. EZ-Backit is available with a 6GB, 12GB, 18GB or 25GB hard drive and supports Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000 and Windows NT.
"Backup is frequently overlooked as a preventive measure to losing critical data. Many view the process as tedious, time-consuming and unnecessary," says Reeves. "EZ-Backit simplifies this process for both end-users and IT managers looking to lessen backup requirements of server hard drives and costs. HP`s endorsement lends a high level of validation to its efficiency and importance in our increasingly information technology-dependent world."
