• 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By the way: Since Arctor's hardware requirements are quite low, even an outdated Windows workstation with a larger disk drive will be sufficient, too.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
