"Continuing our dedication to providing users with a dependable, leading-edge hard disk backup and disk upgrade solution, Casper 5.0 incorporates new technology designed to significantly enhance the reliability and speed of the copy process. Automatic Copy Verification ensures that copies are not corrupted by faulty RAM, a defective cable, failing disk or bad controller interface, while the addition of AccuClone virtually eliminates problems caused by poorly engineered or misbehaving third-party drivers and applications that can significantly degrade backup performance. Casper 5.0 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 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. In addition, with features such as 1 Click Cloning, Integrated Scheduling, and Advanced Power Management support, Casper makes anytime right for a backup - while you work, while you sleep--anytime. Having a fully automated backup and recovery solution running entirely from within Windows makes disaster recovery easier and more convenient for the consumer - and that’s what Casper is all about. There’s no doubt that Casper 5.0 is the best Casper ever."
