Future Systems Solutions Launches New Casper Secure™ Drive Backup for PGPŽ Whole Disk Encryption

First PC Backup Solution Designed for Users of Whole Disk Encryption Technology Fills Critical Need for Equally Secure Backup, and Faster Backup and Recovery Capabilities

Indianapolis, IN – June 9, 2009 /XpressPress/ - Future Systems Solutions, Inc. (www.fssdev.com) announces Casper Secure™ Drive Backup for PGPŽ Whole Disk Encryption, the first and only PC backup solution to confront the problems affecting users of whole disk encryption technology. While whole disk encryption technology ensures sensitive data remains fully secured on a PC, traditional backup programs and disk imaging solutions fail to deliver the same level of security for a backup, and make the recovery process unnecessarily difficult and extremely time-consuming. Casper Secure Drive Backup was engineered specifically to address each of these problems and provides the following unique capabilities:

ˇ Creates a complete backup of a whole disk encrypted drive that retains all of the encrypted data in its original encrypted state.

ˇ Saves time by creating a fully updatable backup of a whole disk encrypted drive in a single step. Other products require two separate, extremely time-consuming steps to accomplish the same goal.

ˇ Produces a backup of a whole disk encrypted drive that can be used immediately as a complete and permanent replacement for the original whole disk encrypted drive, or restored to a new drive without performing a separate, day-consuming re-encryption step.

ˇ Provides a near-instant recovery capability for users of whole disk encryption by creating a fully bootable backup of a whole disk encrypted Windows system drive, including a backup that can boot and run directly from an external USB drive.

ˇ Quickly duplicates a whole disk encrypted drive to a larger drive without requiring a laborious and time consuming backup, restore, and re-encryption process.

ˇ Creates or restores a whole disk encrypted backup to a drive that is either smaller or larger than the original.

ˇ Supports fast, encrypted differential backups of a whole disk encrypted drive.

Additional Features:

ˇ Automatic Copy Verification™ ensures backups are not corrupted by faulty RAM, a defective cable, failing disk, or bad controller interface during the backup process.

ˇ Advanced Power Management support increases scheduling flexibility. Casper Secure Drive Backup can wake a computer in the middle of the night to perform a backup completely unattended, and then safely return it back to sleep.

ˇ Automatic Performance Throttling support was designed specifically to take advantage of new functionality available only in Windows Vista, improves responsiveness of other applications while Casper Secure Drive Backup performs a backup in the background.

ˇ SmartStart™ allows users to quickly repeat a prior backup using automatically saved settings.

ˇ 1-Click Cloning™ makes performing on-demand backups extremely fast and convenient.

ˇ Fully integrated scheduling enables complete PC backups to be performed at any time – day or night – even while a user is performing other computing tasks.

“In recent years, due to increased awareness of identity theft and the need to protect the confidentiality of information, enterprises, SOHOs, and consumers in greater numbers have resorted to the use of whole disk encryption technology to safeguard their data. Unfortunately, as many such users have discovered, adopting this technology leads to a new challenge: how to facilitate a viable disaster recovery program that does not compromise data security. When using standard backup and disk imaging tools to backup whole disk encrypted drives, data is either left exposed and unprotected on the backup, or additional, time-consuming efforts are required to assure the data remains encrypted and fully secured on the backup. Likewise, the recovery process with these tools necessitates a separate restore and time-consuming re-encryption process that can easily require more than a day to complete on many systems. Addressing these significant problems, Casper Secure Drive Backup for PGP Whole Disk Encryption is the first and only solution to create a complete backup of a PGP whole disk encrypted drive that retains all of the encrypted data in its original encrypted state. No longer will backups of confidential or private data be accessible by unauthorized users,” said a company spokesman. He added, “And because the backup of a whole disk encrypted drive can be used immediately as a complete replacement for the original, or restored to a new drive without performing a separate, day-consuming re-encryption step, recovery is fast. In fact, a backup of a whole disk encrypted Windows system drive is immediately bootable after creation – even from external USB drives, which makes recovery near-instant and particularly beneficial for road warriors using whole disk encryption to safeguard their laptops.”

Casper Secure Drive Backup for PGP Whole Disk Encryption supports on all versions of Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Windows 2000. It works with any hard disk recognized by Windows, including all SATA, eSATA, ATA/IDE, SCSI, USB, and Firewire drives – even hardware RAID arrays.
