OS/2 Users - Special Competitive Upgrade Offer
for Warp 4 "Merlin" Backup
WOODBURY, MN., October 28, 1996 - Computer Data Strategies, Inc., the market
leader in backup software for OS/2, is pleased to announce a new competitive
upgrade program for users of other OS/2 based backup software. Until the end
of the year (12/31/96), users of ArcSolo, Back Master, Backup Wiz Fast Back,
Novastor, Seagate Backup, or any other OS/2 backup program can upgrade to Back
Again/2 Professional 4.0 for only $49.00, plus a small shipping and handling
charge*. This latest version of Back Again/2 Professional 4.0 is fully Warp 4
"Merlin" enabled and retains 100% backwards compatibility with earlier
versions of Back Again/2 software.
"We are getting a lot of calls from businesses and users who have found that
their current backup software is no longer good enough", said Brent Bowlby,
President of CDS. " They are discovering that many packages do not work well
-- or even at all -- under Warp 4, whereas Back Again/2 4.0 is tuned to take
advantage of Warp 4's many improvements. Those who are moving to Warp 4 should
make a backup first, and Back Again/2 is the perfect answer, since our
software is correctly configured to work well with all versions of Warp".
Back Again/2 Professional 4.0 supports backup to SCSI and ATAPI/IDE devices,
including single or multiple tape drives, hard drives, network drives,
removable drives such as Iomega's ZIP, JAZ & Bernoulli, optical drives and
even to floppy disks. In addition, the stand-alone restore facility can be
used with these backups to restore whole systems or replicate network clients.
An entire system including OS/2, network software, applications and customized
desktop can be installed in a matter of minutes.
"Other tape software companies leave backup support for Warp as the last thing
on their priority list", said Martin Burke, Vice Presi dent of Sales, " For
us, support for OS/2 is our main focus - that's why our demo version is on
the Warp 4 CD set as well as why we keep winning all the reviews. In addition,
BA/2 4.0 is updated to take advantage of the Warp 4 "look and feel. Our free
Scheduler Utility Package, and our support for multiple tape drives running
simultaneously at full speed are giving us a strong advantage with corporate
backup users. Contrast those features with the fact that much of our
competition's software doesn't even run under Warp 4."
Back Again/2 also provides other OS/2 specific features, such as "User Exits"
(run specific pre and/or post backup system com mands), and the ability to
control backups and restores from REXX scripts. The Scheduler Utility Package
is a complete "cron" utility for any timed function, not just backup and is
included at no extra charge. Any backup set, program, REXX script etc. can be
set to execute at any specified date and time by simply dragging it into the
folder. The stand-alone disaster recovery capability allows for complete
recovery from the (modified) utility diskettes and a tape.
This $49.00 competitive upgrade offer is good through the end of 1996 and is
available directly from Computer Data Strategies. Users can even try it out
free by downloading the demo version from the CDS web site at:
http://www.cds-inc.com or from the Warp 4.0 Application Sampler CD (included
with Warp 4.0). Visitors to the web site will also find a complete list of
products features, autho rized resellers and other information.
