  12. TITLE     IBM PERSONALLY SAFE'N'SOUND FOR OS/2, VERSION 3                       
  13. ABSTRACT         Personally Safe'n'Sound for OS/2 (R), Version 3, provides a    
  14.           simple backup and recovery utility for OS/2 data.  This 32-bit        
  15.           application exploits the multi-tasking capability of the OS/2         
  16.           operating system.                                                     
  17.                  With Personally Safe'n'Sound for OS/2 you can choose the       
  18.           files, folders, or disks to be included in the backup, and can then   
  19.           specify where the data should be stored.  The data can be stored on   
  20.           diskette, harddisk, optical disk, or a central server on a LAN.       
  21.                  Personally Safe'n'Sound for OS/2 protects your system against  
  22.           data loss with a minimum of interruption.  It allows automatic        
  23.           user-specified backups, including multiple generations of backups on  
  24.           a variety of backup devices.                                          
  25.                  Since the automatic backup capabilities of Personally          
  26.           Safe'n'Sound for OS/2 run entirely in the background, there is        
  27.           minimal impact to your productivity.  Personally Safe'n'Sound for     
  28.           OS/2 also reduces the time and difficulty of retrieving data.         
  29.                  A simple graphical user interface facilitates the recovery of  
  30.           individual files or groups of files.

  46. OVERVIEW  DESCRIPTION                                                           
  47.           BACKUP AND RECOVERY FUNCTIONS                                         
  48.           The backup and recovery functions of Personally Safe'n'Sound for OS/2 
  49.           improve data security by automatically preventing the loss of         
  50.           valuable data.                                                        
  51.           AUTOMATIC MANAGEMENT OF BACKED UP FILES                               
  52.           With Personally Safe'n'Sound for OS/2 you can specify what data is to 
  53.           be backed up, where it is to go, and how often the backup is run.     
  54.           Once these parameters are set up, Personally Safe'n'Sound for OS/2    
  55.           manages the backup and retrieval process automatically without        
  56.           further user involvement.  Personally Safe'n'Sound for OS/2 exploits  
  57.           the multi-tasking capability of OS/2 so that all backup activity      
  58.           takes place in the background.

  65.           COMPANY-WIDE BACKUP STANDARDS                                         
  66.           By using a special set of control files, Personally Safe'n'Sound for  
  67.           OS/2 knows what files and folders to backup, when to back them up,    
  68.           and where to store them.  These control files can be shared across a  
  69.           LAN, allowing a LAN administrator to set up and manage a backup       
  70.           strategy for a whole LAN, or group of users.                          
  71.           PRODUCT POSITIONING                                                   
  72.                  Personally Safe'n'Sound for OS/2 provides security against     
  73.           lost data.  It is an insurance policy against hardware failure or     
  74.           human error.  Despite the risks, most users do not take the time to   
  75.           make backup copies of their vital data as this is a tedious,          
  76.           time-consuming and labor-intensive task.                              
  77.                  After an initial set up of Personally Safe'n'Sound for OS/2,   
  78.           users can work with confidence, knowing that their vital data is      
  79.           being protected automatically.                                        
  80.                  The security and benefits provided by Personally Safe'n'Sound  
  81.           for OS/2 can be exploited by the stand-alone PC user or the corporate 
  82.           user in a LAN environment.
