Zevrix Solutions (http://www.zevrix.com) announces the release of
Instant Backup 1.6, an update to its simple solution to securely back
up data on-line and locally. Instant Backup is designed to back up
the most important and sensitive projects just when you need it, to
ensure they're always extra safe.

Instant Backup is not a replacement for the complete computer backup
systems, such as Time Machine. The power of Instant Backup is in its
simplicity and flexibility which allows you to securely backup
selected files and folders just when you need it. And FTP backup
protects your data against theft, fire or other disasters that could
affect your hardware.

Instant Backup allows to create and save groups of settings for FTP
and local backup which can be shared between users. The program can
also automatically create a compressed disk image (.dmg) for each
file or folder you drop on its icon. For the complete backup
security, the disk image can be encrypted and password protected. The
number of previous backups to keep can also be specified.

The new version allows to transfer files and folders as is without
creating a disk image, as well as manually reorder the list of saved
backup settings.

Instant Backup 1.6 can be purchased from the Zevrix Solutions web
site for US$14.95, as well as from authorized resellers. Demo is also
available for download. Instant Backup is a Universal Binary and runs
on Mac OS X 10.4 and higher.
