Zevrix Solutions has announced 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.
Pricing and Availability: Instant Backup 1.6 can be purchased from the Zevrix Solutions web site for $14.95 (USD), 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.
