ALISO VIEJO, Calif., April 4, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Memeo Inc., a worldwide provider of digital life and information management solutions for the consumer and small business markets, today announced its high performance automatic backup software is now available for Macintosh users. Memeo LifeAgent(tm) is designed to help the Mac community manage, track and safeguard digital files in a simple, natural and effortless way. It offers Mac users the best of both worlds -- the same simple yet flexible and powerful features as Memeo AutoBackup with the same innovative and effortless functionality that exits on the PC software, but was designed from the ground up to take advantage of the capabilities of Macintosh computers.
There are millions of Macintosh users and very few options for friendly and yet robust backup and data protection for their burgeoning digital life. Memeo developed LifeAgent in response to many of these users' requests for the same great data protection enjoyed by PC users. It is the perfect companion for a Mac user's digital life. It protects all precious data and allows Mac users to effortlessly manage and access digital content such as photos, music, or corporate presentations from anywhere at anytime. By simplifying file organization and protection, valuable digital content will always be up-to-date, protected and available at your fingertips. With a simple 3-step set-up process, LifeAgent identifies what files are important and works quietly in the background to automatically share, sync and secure your digital content while saving changes made to any document.
"With over seven years of experience working at Apple Computers, I understand how important it is to offer the Macintosh community ground-breaking products and services, and we are happy to provide Mac users with a pioneering solution such as LifeAgent," Hong Bui, CEO and co-founder of Memeo. "Think of LifeAgent as an assistant for your digital life. Tell it what files are you want to protect, and it will dutifully and invisibly take care of the rest."
LifeAgent works on any available storage solution -- from USB hard drives and USB thumb drives to iPods, NAS devices or an online storage site, which provides the comfort of offsite protection. It also allows you to share photos online through Shutterfly. It is an active solution that works when the user works and runs silently and continuously in the background. Additional features of Memeo LifeAgent include the Smart Picks(tm) set-up wizard which allows users to easily locate important files (e.g. Documents, music located across your computer, etc.) and Mac specific applications such as iTunes, iPhoto, iDVD, iMovie, Mac mail, calendar, and PM info, and Safari bookmarks and settings.
In addition, the User Interface shows the status of all continuous backups so users can be confident their files are safe. In the event a file is lost, LifeAgent's powerful search feature instantly finds anything from one file to a whole computer's worth of data and restores it to use again. You can search by name, file type, directory, backup location, or a combination of search criteria, and restore files to their original folder or a new location. Memeo LifeAgent can even keep multiple versions of a file. LifeAgent also includes the ability to create password-encrypted backup plans for added security.

Other Memeo products are available in over 10 languages including Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Spanish, German, French, Italian, U.K. English, and Brazilian Portuguese.
