Arctor
D2D Backup D2D
Online Hard Disk Backup made smart, easy and powerful
Arctor is an easy-to-use and very powerful hard disk backup
solution (D2D - disk-to-disk) with a innovative concept
behind it:
- Today's
cheapest and fastest backup media are hard disks
- So
why not simply use a hard disk for your backups?
At
a current price of $1.30 per GB or less, no other backup
medium is cheaper than IDE hard disks. And backups on
hard disks are much easier and faster to restore!
Large
enterprises have used automated backup solutions based
on tape libraries or the more modern "D2D backup"
for years. With Arctor also small and medium sized companies
can set up a reliable backup solution with fast restore
capabilities at a fraction of the costs.
Arctor
offers enterprise computing concepts at SoHo prices
Because D2D backup up to now was targeted at enterprise
level computing the available solutions cost $20.000
and more. The Arctor solution requires a standard PC
with one or more large disk drives (or a RAID system
of any type).
Appropriate
hardware can be purchased new for as low as $700 (e.g.
a machine with 120 GB drive and DVD writer). Add $30
to $300 for our software and you have an "almost
enterprise" network attached backup system for
a workgroup or a small business.
By
the way: Since Arctor's hardware requirements are quite
low, even an outdated Windows workstation with a larger
disk drive will be sufficient, too.
What the Users Say
"I am really enthusiastic about Arctor. I worked
for days to set up an automatic backup with some other
folder synchronization software which was complicated
to use. After that working with Arctor's interface was
a real treat!" M. Lauer, EDS-Systematics
