Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Backup NOW! Deluxe Suite delivers a total solution for all your data backup needs. It is the first and only software title to provide full-image backup and specific-file backup exclusively for your CD-R/RW and DVD-R/RW drives.

NTI Backup NOW! 3.0 Deluxe Suite

Two products in one:

• 1) File and folder backup: backup selected files and folders from local and mapped drives.
• 2) Full image backup: backup your entire drive or hard drive partition, allowing you to save all your data and Windows settings!

Powerful features:

• Extensive backup device support*: CD-R/RW, DVD-R/-RW/-RAM, DVD+R/+RW, internal/external/networked hard drives, MO, Zip, and Jazz, USB pen drives, and more!
• Drive spanning*: use multiple CD/DVD drives for unattended backup jobs.
• Automatic media spanning: Ideal backup software for large backup jobs! Backup Now! automatically spans your backup across multiple CDs.
• Widest array of supported drives in the backup software market: chances are, yours is supported.
• Bootable CD and floppy creator: create a bootable disc to ensure recovery in case of a system crash.
• Automatic backup scheduler: You don't even have to be home! You can start your backup jobs anytime you like--when you're at work or while you're sleeping, if you're in the shower or even walking the dog--anytime! Just set the scheduler and leave your computer on!
• Intra backup restart: protects you against the possibility of having to restart an interrupted backup job.
• Password protect specific backup jobs: For added security, you can protect your information from prying eyes. Just don't forget the password!
• Incremental and differential backup: Would you want to backup everything, every time? Of course not, no one would! With NTI Backup NOW!, you make your first backup of your entire system, then the next time you can choose to only backup new or changed files. Now that's smart!
• Backup in-use system files, hidden files, and even the Windows Registry: when you make a full-image backup you capture everything--you can make an exact duplicate of your system and restore it to its prior state!
• On-the-fly compression--increase backup speed and store 1 GB of data or more on a single 650 MB CD!
• Network (remote) drive support*: save backup images on Network (remote) drives.
• Simplified disaster recovery support* for Windows NT, 2000, XP.
• Advanced File filtering* for improved control of your backup jobs.

With more than 1,000 viruses and worms being unleashed over the internet every day, anyone who has important documents, data or content on their PC needs to carry out some type of regular backup and disaster recovery program. Having used more than six different programs over the past five years we have found that Backup NOW! is one of the easiest to use and most versatile products we have found for our small business network and notebook computers. It really is two backup/recovery products in one package. Now we duplicate and backup our complete server and user systems every three months and do weekly and daily incremental backup. We've only had one near disaster with a worm infestation on one of our systems and were able to quickly recover all of the data. But the software really shows its value when people accidentally delete (rather than save) files they are working on. They don't have to start from scratch because BackupNOW! lets them bring back the specific file to the state it was the evening before. If your office is like ours and running on adreneline that feature alone is worth 3x the cost of the product. We like the fact that BackupNOW! saves to so many different types of media. On the office network we use DVD-RW because we can overwrite a thousand times and can randomly access the disc for recovery. On our notebooks we save to CD-R because the media works anywhere and costs almost nothing. But best of all the software simply works the way we like to work. That's one less thing we have to worry about in our business !

5.0 out of 5 stars The software works fine at 2K, XP & Advance Server versions, September 13, 2004

I tested this software and it works fine at Windows 2000, XP Pro, & 2000 Advance Server versions.

It very simple to use, only 3 choices --
1. Back up the current system to CDs / DVDs. You can't back up the boot system in other media like external / internal hard drive.
2. Back up another partition (non-system partition) to other drives / medias.
3. Restore the image.

It's fast. I installed 2 O/S in my computer and run backup each other to another internal hard drives.
