Backup Now Has Made It Easy To Make Archiving To CD R/W And DVD R/W!

NTI offer backup software solutions for PCs. Today a good Backup and Recovery solution must be flexible enough to easily accommodate the escalating hard drive sizes and storage options. The solution must also be reliable and available at a low cost.

NTI Backup Now is one such software for PC backup and restoration. The Deluxe Suite version offers a complete file backup and image copy solution. It’s ideal for home PC users or small business owners as a safeguard against data loss.

By using inexpensive CD-Recordable / CD-Rewriteable drives as the storage medium the users of this full-fledged data backup program can not only make file backups of their data but they can also create disk images of entire hard disk partitions.

The familiar Windows computer interface renders the task of backing up your data look very easy. You just have to select the files which you want to backup along with the destination CD drive (CD burner) where the files will be sent. In order to save time, as an alternative, you can also perform incremental or differential backup and save only the new or modified files from the latest known full backup.

The program has the ability to perform file backup from multiple disks and even from remote locations. The NTI backup software is also featured with a scheduler facility which allows unattended backup operation. Using compression, the program can store up to 1.2GB on a single CD.

Besides offering all common backup and restore operations, the program provides classical configuration choices like backup verification and option to either append or overwrite on to the media. It can also write on to a new media with or without software compression during backup operation.
PS: As of now this kind of hardware compression prevalent in tape backup drives is not yet supported by CD-RW drives.

While preparing a backup job you can omit files by type (using wildcard characters) or by the date modified and you can password-protect the backup job to gain added security.

Back Now also generates itemized reports ( that can be customized according to one’s needs) highlighting the outcome of the performed operations with relevant statistical data.

BackupNow is perfect for large data backup jobs as both the File and Disk Image backup can span multiple discs. Moreover at the time of backup even the Operating System files that are in use get saved.

This provides total protection against system crashes as the failed system can be quickly revived. You do this by using the bootable CDs and the Full-Image backup.

If you already posses another backup utility that handles CD-RW media, then NTI backup software is not probably what you need. But for new buyers BackupNow is definitely a good option with its advanced feature and a bargain in view of its double duty performance of file backup and drive imaging.
