Press Release Body = December 12th, 2005 - The newly developed backup software,
BackupAssist, offers small and medium sized organizations a simple, reliable and
affordable backup solution now used in over 61 countries worldwide. The success of
BackupAssist has been due to its vision: a powerful, fast-to-setup alternative to
major brands of backup software that gives small and medium businesses the features
they require without unnecessary bells and whistles, all at an appropriate price.

\"Our design specification was 'an uncomplicated backup software designed for Windows
Servers, that\'s priced affordably, is easy to use, and provides a dependable and
foolproof backup system for small and medium businesses,'\" says BackupAssist CEO,
Linus Chang. "It really caught on, and now IT consultants all over the world use our
product because their clients love it."

BackupAssist sends straightforward instructions to you or your secretary by email,
such as, \"Please place the tape labeled Wednesday in the tape drive.\" You don\'t need
an expert to run your backups, and the possibility of human error is minimized.

\"I\'m glad that we found BackupAssist," claims Gary, an IT Consultant from Computers
at Ballarat, Australia, "While we realize the importance of backups ourselves, it
has always been difficult to sell to clients in small to medium business when we had
to include software with a $1000+ price tag. BackupAssist will make the sale much
easier not only because of the price tag, but because we know that it works so
well.\"

BackupAssist also emails result logs - you can check the status of each backup from
your own computer or even offsite. There\'s no need to access the your servers to
view logs.

BackupAssist began when a system administrator and friend of Linus Chang mentioned
that he was having trouble setting up a backup schedule through the existing Windows
function, but alternative products were cost-prohibitive for his client. "This
alerted me to a gap in the market for small business," explains Linus, "Between home
backup software and big-corporate solutions, the first just isn't enough and the
second is like hiring a construction company to build a shed."
