ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Oct. 10, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Memeo Inc., a worldwide provider of digital life and information management solutions for the consumer and business markets, today announced a major upgrade to its flagship product -- Memeo AutoBackup 2.0. The new version is more robust with the ability to handle up to 500,000 files and offers new features that further simplify and improve the user experience.
Memeo AutoBackup is designed to seamlessly protect personal files such as photos, videos and music. It also allows small business users to easily backup work files such as presentations or spreadsheets. With its Zero-Touch(tm) data preservation technology working silently in the background, Memeo automatically backs-up any new file addition or change without human intervention.
"Technology advances at a record pace and today nearly everyone on the planet relies on digital data to run their everyday lives and businesses," said Hong Bui, CEO and co-founder of Memeo. "We are always striving to simplify the user experience of protecting important digital files, and the first version of AutoBackup did that splendidly. Now, with AutoBackup 2.0, what was great is even better. AutoBackup 2.0 allows our customers to easily protect and restore any of their vital data simply and reliably."
New features of Memeo include its new, more intuitive Smart Picks(tm) set-up wizard, which allows customers to easily locate files that they most likely will want to protect (e.g., My Documents, music located on hard drive, etc.). Advanced users can drill down into the setup process with fewer steps to create more sophisticated backup plans, such as defining path "exceptions" that specify what paths to backup and which ones to exclude. The redesigned User Interface shows the status of all continuous backup jobs so customers will always know their data is completely protected. In addition, the new restore wizard easily and quickly locates and restores specific files. For additional security, Memeo now includes the ability to create password-encrypted backup plans, which allow you to specify a password to protect backup files.
Memeo's new OneClick Restore(tm) is a stand-alone application that provides a trouble-free way to restore important files with just a couple clicks of the mouse. For convenience, Memeo copies OneClick Restore to a specific backup destination so you can instantly recover your files in the event of a computer crash or other catastrophic loss. The feature also expedites searching and browsing for backup files and offers the simplest way to transfer files to a new computer or when upgrading to a new operating system.
Unique to AutoBackup 2.0 is its ability to create multiple concurrent backup plans to a wide range of backup destinations. For example, users can create a backup plan that encrypts and saves Quicken tax files or precious photos to Memeo Internet Disk Offsite Storage solution while simultaneously backing up photos and music to an external hard drive or NAS (Network Attached Storage) device. When on the road, users can protect their documents to a USB flash drive or iPod. The flexibility of Memeo AutoBackup 2.0 provides limitless and the most efficient options to safeguard digital content. AutoBackup is also compatible with Memeo's new AutoSync software, which removes the complexities of data organization by simply identifying content that a user wants to keep up to date with certain the computers or other devices such as a USB flash drive, iPod, etc. When used together, AutoBackup and AutoSync complete the digital data user's experience with a combination of easy-to-use protection and synchronization tools.
