ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Nov. 6, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Memeo Inc., a leading worldwide provider of digital life management solutions for the consumer and small business markets, today announced its LifeAgent(tm) content management and data backup software for Mac users is now compatible with the latest Operating System (OS) offered by Apple, Mac OS(r) X Leopard. In addition to Leopard support, LifeAgent also now includes added support for Apple iDisk as a backup destination.
Since its original release, Memeo's LifeAgent has stood out as the most powerful and effortless tool for digital content management and protection for Mac enthusiasts. With an even more advanced feature-set, LifeAgent is the premier alternative to Apple's Leopard embedded backup software, Time Machine. LifeAgent offers greater flexibility and functionality in a more user-friendly interface. In addition to Leopard and iDisk support, LifeAgent has been enhanced to consume fewer resources while scanning for and backing up files and offers improved file change monitoring for Leopard users. Memeo has also added support for creating backup plans to older AFP network drives giving Mac users added preference options. The installer has also been reduced by 40% increasing the performance during download. Since all existing backup plans are preserved, current users can seamlessly upgrade to the latest version of LifeAgent without losing any of their current settings.
"Memeo is committed to providing Mac users with a simple yet robust alternative for backing-up and sharing digital content in the home or office," stated Chris Halim, CTO of Memeo. "With the newly enhanced LifeAgent, organizing and protecting your business documents, vacation videos, and memorable pictures is even easier with options that help you manage your digital life."
Memeo developed LifeAgent in response to Mac users' requests for the same great data protection enjoyed by PC users. LifeAgent runs quietly and continuously in the background and allows users to backup content to any existing storage solution including USB thumb drives and hard drives, iPods, NAS devices, networked computers or offsite to a Memeo's secure online storage account, Memeo Internet Disk. Starting from $2.99 a month, Memeo Internet Disk is a cost effective alternative for .Mac customers who want extra protection for their most precious photos and irreplaceable files and added convenience of accessibility from anywhere.
Additional features of LifeAgent include the Smart Picks set-up wizard, which allows users to easily locate important files and Mac specific applications such as iTunes, iPhoto, iDVD, iMovie, Mac mail, calendar, and Safari bookmarks and settings. It also offers an effortless file search and recovery feature that allows you to find and restore anything from one file to a whole computer's worth of data. 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. And, the software's password-encrypted backup plans provide added security and peace of mind.
