Casper 5.0 Tech Edition also incorporates major enhancements to our exclusive SmartClone technology to eliminate diminished cloning efficiency affecting many systems as a result of new, more aggressive filtering techniques employed by today’s leading antivirus and antispyware programs. The result is performance gains from 25% to 200%. Ease-of-use has always been of great importance in the development of our products, and Casper 5.0’s new SmartStart feature continues this tradition by enabling users to quickly repeat a prior copy using automatically saved copy settings," said a company spokesman.


He added, "A combination of groundbreaking technologies and vital enhancements enable Casper 5.0 Tech Edition to rapidly create and maintain a complete, immediately-bootable, highly-dependable backup replacement hard disk for a PC. SmartClone’s exclusive update process creates complete, up-to-date backups in the same amount of time required by other backup and disk imaging solutions to perform a differential or incremental backup to a proprietary archive file. Casper 5.0 Tech Edition greatly simplifies hard disk cloning for deployment to new computer systems. When used in combination with Microsoft's Sysprep utility, hard disk images can be sealed and deployed via direct disk-to-disk cloning. Providing even more power and flexibility is the Casper 5.0 Tech Edition Explorer. It enables users to perform advanced disk management tasks such as creating and removing disk partitions, changing the active partition, changing a drive letter assignment, and replacing damaged or missing boot records. The ability to boot a system and run directly from a CD-ROM disk or USB key and access external media devices including USB and Firewire hard disks makes Casper 5.0 Tech Edition an incredibly convenient tool. Computer professionals can experience an easy to use and convenient solution that makes disk duplication for hard disk upgrades, managed backups, and system deployment a breeze."
