Roxio Launches BackOnTrack Online

Roxio(R), a division of Sonic Solutions(R) , the leader in digital media software, today launched BackOnTrack(TM) Online, a digital media storage solution that automatically and continuously protects personal data and precious family memories. Trivially easy to set up and maintain, personal content is encrypted and uploaded to a remote and secure Roxio online backup center. In the event of computer data loss due to a crash, system theft, human error or even natural disaster, consumers' digital files can be quickly restored from any Web-connected computer. Consumers can begin safeguarding their digital lives today through a risk-free, 15-day trial available directly from Roxio at http://www.roxio.com. A 12-month subscription offering unlimited storage space is available for $49.99.

BackOnTrack Online complements the recently released Roxio BackOnTrack Suite, a client-based backup application that offers components for system restoration, disaster recovery, as well as data backup to disc. Using both solutions in conjunction can comprehensively protect against the risk of any computer data loss.

"Losing irreplaceable photos of your baby's first steps, a family reunion, or video from your wedding would be devastating, yet the majority of consumers are still not protecting themselves from this possibility," said Alexander Hars, director of product marketing, Roxio division of Sonic Solutions. "Unfortunately, hardware disasters can happen to anyone at anytime. As a company that enables consumers to manage and enjoy their photos, videos and music, we naturally understand the importance of protecting all these precious multi-media projects and content. With Roxio BackOnTrack Online, our customers can now quickly and conveniently backup their digital content and enjoy the peace-of-mind of knowing that their lifetime of memories is secure."

Powered by the award-winning backup solution provider Carbonite, Roxio BackOnTrack Online offers a number of features designed to simplify and streamline the otherwise complicated and often time consuming data backup process:

    Fast and Easy: BackOnTrack Online takes the complication and guess work
out of data protection with a streamlined installation process, automated
data uploading, and a straightforward User Interface design and workflow.

Unlimited Storage: BackOnTrack Online offers unlimited storage capacity so
users don't have to pick and choose the files to backup. Lengthy videos,
extensive photo and music collections, or even the entire contents of a
hard drive can be easily uploaded to Roxio's online backup center.

Completely Automated: With BackOnTrack Online, consumers can set it once
and forget it. New and changed files are automatically detected and
uploaded whenever the computer is connected to the Internet. To maintain
system efficiency, BackOnTrack Online will upload content to the Internet
after the computer is idle for a few minutes.

Safe and Secure: All files are automatically encrypted for privacy before
being transferred to Roxio's secure remote backup center and can be safely
recovered from any Internet-connected computer.

Easy Restore: Allows consumers to quickly recover everything or individual
files or folders using the BackOnTrack Online Drive, which appears as a
standard drive on Windows "My Computer".
