Back Again/2 Professional Edition
Version 3.10
Complete Backup and Recovery for OS/2 Warp
OS/2 Warp users take note! Backup and recovery of your system just
got faster and easier than ever before. Back Again/2 Professional
Edition, version 3.10, has arrived and now features support for the
new ATAPI/IDE tape drives!
Back Again/2 is a high performance, feature rich backup solution for
IBM OS/2. A complete backup scheduler is built in, as are multiple
levels of data compression. Network integration and universal
naming convention (UNC) support enable Back Again/2 to protect your
network servers against data loss. While other backup applications
limit your backups to the number of drives that can be concurrently
mounted on the system, Back Again/2 is under no such constraints
thanks to full support for the universal naming convention present
in both IBM LAN Server and Novell Netware. Naturally, Back Again/2
fully supports the high performance file system (HPFS), extended
attributes, long file names, and backing up files in use by other
applications.
Back Again/2 is also the only utility available for OS/2 that
exploits the latest ATAPI/IDE tape drives such as those available
from Conner Peripherals, APS Technologies, and other vendors.
At speeds of up to 33MB/min, capacities up to 4MB, and a price tag
under $500, these new tape drives represent a significant step
forward in tape storage technology at an unprecedented
price/performance ratio.
While some applications support only tape drives, Back Again/2
delivers support for many different types of devices including not
only SCSI and ATAPI/IDE tape drives, but Bernoulli Boxes, SyQuest
removable hard drives, magneto optical drives, IBM LAN Server and
Novell Netware network drives, and IBM AS/400 PC Support drives as
well. And with the high-speed floppy diskette support, Back Again/2
is ideal for laptop users.
Another powerful feature of Back Again/2 is the standalone restore
utility which can be used to restore an OS/2 system from a complete
backup in as little as eight minutes, without having to first
re-install OS/2. In addition, the standalone restore utility can
also be used to replicate network clients; an entire system
including OS/2, networking software, applications, and a customized
OS/2 desktop can be installed in a matter of minutes.
Registered users of Back Again/2 v3.xx will be able to obtain an
update to v3.10 from the Computer Data Strategies, Inc. bulletin
board effective Monday, September 11. There is no update charge
for registered users to obtain the update via the BBS; a small
shipping and handling charge will be effected for those customers
who wish to have a diskette mailed to them.
Back Again/2 Professional Edition v3.10 is available through leading
OS/2 resellers as well as directly from Computer Data Strategies. If
you are currently using another backup solution, be sure to ask
about our competitive upgrade program! Dealer inquiries are welcome,
and volume pricing and site licensing programs are available.
