ORINDA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 19, 2000

Dantz Development Corporation announced today Retrospect(R) Exchange Agent, a new software application that performs unattended backups of critical Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) Exchange Servers required to operate on a 24/7 schedule. Unlike other Exchange backup agents, the Retrospect Exchange Agent operates as a stand-alone backup application and peacefully coexists with other backup software, including VERITAS (NASDAQ:VRTS) Backup Exec and Computer Associates (NYSE:CA) ARCserveIT.

"Exchange administrators are no longer locked into expensive, proprietary backup solutions. Retrospect Exchange Agent provides complete protection for Exchange databases at no cost," commented Craig Isaacs, Dantz vice president of sales and marketing. "Our solution can save organizations hundreds of dollars for each Exchange server deployed, regardless of backup software choice."

"Businesses rely on 24/7 systems like Windows 2000 and Microsoft Exchange Server to stay competitive," stated Stan Sorensen, group product manager, server applications, Microsoft Corp. "Reliable backups are imperative, and Dantz's Retrospect Exchange Agent gives our customers an excellent option for safeguarding their data."

The Retrospect Exchange Agent utilizes Microsoft APIs to perform full and incremental backups of Exchange Server databases to a local hard drive. Any backup software may then back up the Retrospect Exchange Agent backup files.

Dantz will be at PC Expo in New York, June 27-29, in the Microsoft Partner Pavilion (Booth No. 2436).

Retrospect's Backup Server(TM) automatically protects notebooks that occasionally connect to the network, while true verification and multiple, rotating backup sets provide additional levels of security.
