- Central Point Software announced Central Point Backup 7.2 for Windows, a
- new release of its full-featured backup program that is optimized for
- Windows. New features include Windows 3.1 enhancements, additional tape
- support and increased virus detection.
-
- "Central Point Backup 7.2 for Windows provides optimized functionality for
- complete and automatic operation under Windows," said Bill Henderson, vice
- president and chief operating officer at Summit Memory Systems, Inc.
- Central Point Backup is currently bundled as standard software with
- Summit's tape drives. "Central Point Backup's new Windows enhancements,
- combined with continued ease-of-use, solidify its leadership position in
- the Windows backup market."
-
- Windows 3.1 Optimization
-
- Central Point Backup 7.2 for Windows has been developed to take full
- advantage of Windows 3.1. The ability to "drag and drop" has been added
- enabling users to select files they want to back up from the Windows File
- Manager. These files then can be dragged over to the Central Point Backup
- icon to be processed. In addition, the user interface has been modified to
- make file selection and viewing of the file tree even easier.
-
- Increased Tape Support and Virus Detection
-
- Central Point Backup is the first mainstream backup package to support tape
- drives. In Central Point Backup 7.2 for Windows, all QIC 40/80 compatible
- and Irwin drives are now supported, including drives from IBM, Compaq,
- Wangtek, Summit, Mountain, Colorado Memory, Archive and others. This
- increased tape support, combined with the Background Backup or Automated
- Backup options, make data protection even easier, especially for
- unattended backups.
-
- Central Point Backup 7.2 for Windows recognizes an increased number of
- viruses. Using the same technology as the best-selling Central Point
- Anti-Virus, Central Point Backup 7.2 for Windows can now detect more than
- 1,000 viruses, up from 400 viruses in the previous version. In addition,
- files can be searched for viruses without actually doing a backup, even on
- a scheduled basis.
-

-
- Central Point Backup 7.2 for Windows has a suggested retail price of $129
- and will be available from major software distributors and resellers in
