Data Protection Solutions (DPS) Introduces Full-Service Hard Drive Migration Utility

EzBackup®_IM - Migrate All Data From Existing Hard Drive to New, Higher-Capacity Hard Drives Quickly!

Hollywood, FL, March 22nd, 2006 – Data Protection Solutions (DPS), leading provider of patented disk-to-disk (D2D) mirroring, backup and restore solutions, today announces the release of EzBackup®_IM Data Protection Software. EzBackup®_IM gives companies and end-users alike the ability to create a one-to-one, bootable mirror image copy of their entire system and data on a new hard drive. This unique software solution now enables Windows® users to perform image backup of their entire system and data, and migrate to a newer, higher capacity hard drive at a rate of 1 minute per GB. A new feature to the EzBackup software solution introduction in EzBackup®_IM includes the EzExpander™, which gives users the ability to expand the partition of the new hard drive to the full or other capacity of the user’s preference.

As part of its continued development, Data Protection Solutions continues to advance its strategic approach to continuous data protection by strengthening, simplifying and delivering backup solutions that take features found in the enterprise, such as bare metal recovery (BMR) and delivering them economically for use with edge-of-the-network devices such as PCs, laptops, workstations and departmental servers. Users can now enjoy simple, more reliable and lower cost disk-to-disk technologies with one-step restore capabilities and now simplified hard drive upgrades.

“We believe that backup should be easy and offer complete migration without the significant cost and inconvenience normally associated with upgrading hard disk drives,” says Steven D. Hammond, President of Data Protection Solutions. “EzBackup®_IM offers end-users an efficient upgrade method.” For manufacturers of hard drives, motherboards, and enclosures, the EzBackup®_IM software is a perfect fit to bundle with products to give your customers both product and solution with the ease of total system migration. EzBackup®_IM software is available for purchase from DPS’s website at http://www.ezd2d.com/ezbackupbuyortry/ for only $19.99.
