Summer, sun, braaivleis and backups

With the holidays ahead, are you worried about leaving your computer behind? Your hardware might be insured, but running the risk of losing all your software and data can really put a damper on your vacation. Starship Systems' NEBULA Back Pack is an affordable and complete solution in managing your personal back-ups. By using an easy plug-and-play method you can now clone your entire computer - simply by plugging in a USB hard disk, starting your PC with the CD provided and following the user-friendly prompts.

Even if your company have full backup procedures in place, we understand how important your computer's configuration and installed applications are. Once you've created a clone, complete restoration in the event of a system failure, theft or even when upgrading is quick and straight forward. No time is wasted reinstalling separate applications or copying files, and your previous installation can be up and running exactly like it was in a flash. Gone are the days of writing stacks of CDs and having only backups of data files!

Benefits

  • Even complete technophobes can take responsibility for their own backups.
  • Laptops can be backed up when- or wherever - no need to be on a network.
  • You can either clone your hard drive completely, or select specific files for backup.

    NEBULA Back Pack is offered as either a full solution that includes a USB hard disk, software CD and carry bag, or just as a software package if you already have an additional USB hard disk handy. The Back Pack range includes various options from a free "Clone now, purchase later" version, to the full Back Pack Proper that includes compression, disk management and several advanced settings.

    What is cloning?

    A clone is an exact backup of your entire hard drive as is - from the first block of data to the last. It backs up all your data, as well as your operating system, system settings, preferences, e-mail and installed software. Restoring a clone will format your PC exactly the same as it were on the day you created the clone.

    Clones can be restored on existing or new hardware and even virtual machines in case of hardware failure (after replacement or repair), theft or when upgrading.
