NTI Adds Powerful New Features to Backup Now! 3.0 Deluxe

The complete and easy backup software gets even better with the addition of support for a wide array of storage devices, along with powerful drive-spanning feature, and expanded disaster recovery support.

IRVINE, CALIFORNIA, September 5, 2002 - NewTech Infosystems, Inc. (NTI) today announced NTI Backup NOW!® 3.0 Deluxe, the newest version of its award-winning backup and disaster recovery software. NTI Backup NOW! Deluxe offers complete backup flexibility and is the only software package that provides full-image and file level backups using CD-R/RW discs. Version 3.0 extends the range of backup devices to include DVD, Hard Drives, JAZ, ZIP, MO, USB Pen Drives and more! Users can create a full file backup and then, in future sessions, backup only new or changed files. In case the PC is damaged or the notebook stolen, the bootable disaster recovery discs can easily recreate the entire system on a new computer. Of course, Backup NOW! can also restore individual backed-up files that have been lost or corrupted. NTI Backup NOW! 3.0 Deluxe is compatible with all Windows operating systems -- including Windows XP.

"NTI Backup NOW! is the most user-friendly and most complete backup and disaster recovery tool on the market today," says Bill Yao, President and CEO of NewTech Infosystems.
