SHANGHAI, CHINA (June 20, 2006) - NewTech Infosystems, Inc. (NTI), a pioneer in advancing backup and recovery solutions, announced today the availability of Version 3 of its award-winning back up application, NTI Shadow™. NTI Shadow is the industry"s most convenient, continuous, native format backup solution. In high demand since it was first launched in August 2005, NTI Shadow puts an end to losing valuable video, photo, music, and data files that have been modified. NTI Shadow v3 maintains real-time, continuous backup of all changed files as you work and also includes an advanced scheduler that enables users to set backup start times by minute, hour, day, week, or month.

NTI Shadow supports U3™ smart drives as well as Windows XP®, Windows 2000®, and Macintosh® OS X v10.3+ environments. In addition to conveniently executing backup jobs transparently in the background without disturbing the user, NTI Shadow does not take up valuable resources that could slow system performance. For added security, NTI Shadow is equipped with NTI Intelligent USB Device Detection™ so that jobs configured to back up to a specific, removable U3 smart drive or other USB storage device can only be executed when that unique device is detected on the system.

With its U3 smart drive support, NTI Shadow will appeal to consumers, business professionals, and students who move between PCs at work, school, home, libraries, Internet cafes, airports, or client sites. With NTI Shadow and a U3 smart drive, people on-the-go can work on any PC taking NTI Shadow with them to complete their work without carrying a laptop. When a U3 smart drive is removed from any computer, all system settings, program files, and application data are removed so no personal or private information is left behind on the computer while all work is saved on the convenient U3 smart drive. The user can then transfer their updated files to their home or office system.

"Effective back-up for important documents, files and data is critical to mobile computing today,” said Kate Purmal, U3 CEO.  “With the Simplified Chinese version of NTI Shadow now easily available from U3 Software Central, U3 smart drive users in China can benefit from all the advantages of truly mobile computing while at the same time ensuring the integrity of their data.”

 
Easy to install and use, NTI Shadow will back up to virtually any system-attached drive including U3, USB flash, mobile storage devices, PMP players, internal and external hard drives, NAS devices, and more.   Users can schedule multiple and concurrent back up jobs in their native file format which means no additional proprietary software is required to restore files. Restoring is literally as easy as drag and drop.

The step-by-step wizard included with NTI Shadow simplifies setup and scheduling.  The Job Summary Tool enables users to verify backup job configurations before starting automated backups.

Version 3 of NTI Shadow offers optional automatic file filtering for specific file types (video, picture, audio, and document) as well as custom file type filtering so users can select specific file types for backup. (*.pst, *.xls, and more).  Then, for the ultimate in version control, users can elect to save an unlimited number of versions, a specific number of versions (1-10) or no versions to ensure that backups are always kept in sync with the original file.
