Roxio BackOnTrack Online Launches in the UK
Safeguarding your digital memories on the web
5 March 2008 — Roxio®, a division
of Sonic Solutions® (NASDAQ: SNIC),
the leader in digital media software, today announces the UK-launch
of BackOnTrack™ Online, a digital media storage solution that automatically
and continuously protects personal data and precious family memories.
Easy to set up and maintain, personal content is encrypted and uploaded
to a remote and secure Roxio online backup centre for future access.
In the event of data loss due to a system crash, theft, human error
or even natural disaster, digital files can be quickly and easily restored
from any Web-connected computer. A risk-free 15 day trial is available
so consumers can sample the benefits of BackOnTrack Online. A one year
subscription offering unlimited storage space is available for £39.99
or a two year package is available for £69.99 via www.roxio.co.uk.
"Losing irreplaceable photos of your baby's first steps, a family
reunion, or video from your wedding would be devastating, yet the majority
of consumers are still not protecting themselves from this possibility," said
Alexander Hars, director of product marketing, Roxio division of Sonic
Solutions. "Unfortunately, hardware disasters can happen to anyone
at anytime. As a company that enables consumers to manage and enjoy
their photos, videos and music, we naturally understand the importance
of protecting all these precious multi-media projects and content.
With Roxio BackOnTrack Online, consumers can now quickly and conveniently
backup their digital content and enjoy the peace-of-mind of knowing
that their digital memories are secure."
Powered by the award-winning backup solution provider Carbonite,
Roxio BackOnTrack Online offers a number of features designed to simplify
and streamline the otherwise complicated and often time consuming data
backup process:
Fast and Easy: BackOnTrack Online takes the complication
and guess work out of data protection with a streamlined installation
process, automated data uploading, and a straightforward User Interface
design and workflow.
Unlimited Storage: BackOnTrack Online offers unlimited
storage capacity so users don't have to pick and choose the files to
backup. Lengthy videos, extensive photo and music collections, or even
the entire contents of a hard drive can be easily uploaded to Roxio's
online backup centre.
Completely Automated: With BackOnTrack Online, consumers
can set it once and forget it. New and changed files are automatically
detected and uploaded whenever the computer is connected to the Internet.
To maintain system efficiency, BackOnTrack Online will upload content
to the Internet after the computer is idle for a few minutes.
Safe and Secure: All files are automatically encrypted
for privacy before being transferred to Roxio's secure remote backup
centre and can be safely recovered from any Internet-connected computer.
Easy Restore:
Allows consumers to quickly recover everything or individual files or
folders using the BackOnTrack Online Drive, which appears as a standard
drive on Windows "My Computer".
