Storix, Inc. Introduces Backup Data Encryption and Microsoft Windows Backup and Restore Options for Version 5.2 of System Backup Administrator

Business Wire, June 20, 2005

SAN DIEGO -- Storix announced the release of System Backup Administrator (SBA) Version 5.2. As the premier Linux and AIX backup and disaster recovery software solution, Storix SBA provides centralized management of system and data backup for one system or the entire network, and includes the most complete and flexible bare-metal recovery available. Storix SBA now provides optional 128/192/256-bit Backup Data Encryption and Microsoft Windows and MAC OS X system backup/restore features, along with a host of other new included features.

"The addition of Windows and OS X support will allow us to greatly expand our customer's data backup and restore capability. We've had many requests for these utilities in the past and with this new addition we can address those data protection needs directly," explained Anthony Johnson, president of Storix, adding, "And since Storix SBA supports backup of Linux, AIX, Windows, and OS X, our customers can now perform all of their data backup responsibilities with a single application." Mr. Johnson continued, "The optional Backup Data Encryption feature, which meets stringent AES requirements, further protects the customer's data. And coupling Backup Data Encryption with our existing Overwrite and Retention Policy functionality will broaden our customer's ability to comply with governmental regulations."

Storix SBA excels in its unique abilities to accomplish remote or local, "bare-metal" restorations of Linux and AIX systems. Not a typical image restore, Storix SBA provides an Installation/Recovery Interface, providing the user with the flexibility to recover an existing system, or reconfigure the OS to operate on a different hardware configuration, while supporting LVM, software RAID, and various filesystem types. The Interface can also be used to migrate healthy systems to new hardware configurations, or to provision new systems. This significantly reduces planned and unplanned downtime and the resulting downtime associated costs. Storix SBA has the only Installation/Recovery functionality that is this complete and flexible.
