PRAGUE, Czech Republic: avast! BackUp, the simple and automatic online backup solution, has been launched by AVAST Software. Because accidents can always happen, but data loss doesn’t have to.
Computers don’t last forever and hard drives have a limited lifespan. Which leads to an interesting paradox: People are putting more and more data – from tax records to their film and music collections – on devices with a limited lifespan. Most of the time, there are no problems. But then, there are the other times. Whether the cause of the accident is spilled coffee, an electrical surge, or even a ‘natural’ breakdown, the result is still the same: lost data and lost memories.
To be safe, computer users need to regularly backup their data. “To be fully effective, this requires getting additional hardware and establishing a regular backup regime – steps most people forget to follow,” said Vince Steckler, CEO of AVAST Software. “With avast! BackUp, there is now an easy way to keep your valuable data safe from coffee and mechanical breakdowns.”
avast! BackUp automatically backs up your data to a remote, in-the-cloud location. No extra hardware. No scheduling issues.
- ·Smart and easy - Set it up once and forget about it. After the initial backup, smart technology ensures that new or changed files are automatically synchronized within avast! BackUp.
