ARSENAL DIGITAL SETS NEW STANDARD FOR EFFORTLESS PC BACKUP

June 17, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
CARY, N.C.––Arsenal Digital Solutions®, http://www.arsenaldigital.com/, a leading provider of data protection services, announced availability of a new online backup service designed specifically for consumer needs. PC Vault™ http://www.arsenaldigital.com/ provides consumers with effortless data backup and the reliability and security only a company with 24 petabytes of data protection experience can provide. The service automatically backs up files, such as music, photos and financial records, and securely transmits them to a remote data center, where they are available for recovery at any time through an easy-to-use and extremely intuitive user interface.
“Faced with a growing volume of often irreplaceable digital content, backup and recovery has evolved into an emotional issue for many consumers,” said Frank Brick, Arsenal’s chairman & CEO. “Unfortunately, traditional methods of backup are cumbersome and complicated, and the prospect of losing significant memories, money and time looms large. We designed PC Vault™ to help consumers easily secure their files offsite and quickly recover them when necessary.”
In a recent IDC survey, 69 percent of consumers said that they do not make backup copies to protect their data. “Consumers are increasingly generating and using digital files for personal use,” said Doug Chandler, program director for storage software and services at IDC. “Arsenal Digital’s PC Vault service is designed to let consumers easily back up these files and have them available for retrieval.”
Signing up for PC Vault™ http://www.arsenaldigital.com/ is as easy as buying a book online. Once set up, the service backs up files automatically and requires no ongoing action on the user’s part, which makes data protection truly effortless. If it becomes necessary, however, one click can initiate a manual backup, retrieve files, or allow the user to view the status and history of previous backups.
“I was surprised at how fast and easy it was to set up and use PC Vault™,” said Wendy Clarke, a University of North Carolina student. “It’s as easy to use as my iPod, and really comforting to know that no matter what happens to my computer, I won’t lose my papers, music and photos. And I don’t have to burn CDs or even remember to do a backup.”
PC Vault™ will be brought to market through Arsenal’s channel partners, which include many of the world’s leading service providers. The service, which is billed on a monthly basis, requires no technical skills on the user’s part to set up and operate, and comes with
Arsenal’s world-class 24x7 support and industry-leading experience. For more information or to purchase, please visit http://www.arsenaldigital.com.
