1. WHY YOU NEED BACKUP XPRESSO?

A computer virus or disk failure could wipe out your files, including email databases and documents. Someone in your office, without any malicious intent, could mess up your system, leading to the same sad results. If your operating system was reinstalled, or your hard disk fails, you will have a hard time getting your email and documents back.

The bottom line is: your files and emails need a regular backup!

Of course you could look over your hard drive, find the important files and manually copy them to another location. This takes time, and can be a challenge, since most email programs hide their email databases somewhere deep inside program folders or obscure windows settings folders. The downside to this approach is that it is tedious and inefficient. You're unlikely to do this every day, or even every week, and what use is a backup when it's several weeks old?

2. HOW DOES BACKUP XPRESSO WORK?

Backup Xpresso will find email files for all major email programs and back them up. It will also backup any files or folders you ask it to.

And it can do it automatically, as often as you need. Backup Xpresso will also easily restore your files, folders and emails.

There are modules to backup of Microsoft Outlook® Outlook Express® and Netscape®. More modules for popular email clients will be available soon.

6. WHAT DO PEOPLE SAY ABOUT BACKUP XPRESSO?

After a virus infection, it took me 2 hours to reinstall Windows and my applications. Then it took me just 45 seconds to restore my mail and Documents with Backup Xpresso!
John, Boston, Massachussetts

Recently I had to take my PC to a computer shop. I only asked the service people to upgrade my memory and video card, but when I got it back, my computer wouldn't boot. When I complained about it to the manager, they promised to fix the problem. However, they returned my computer with a formatted drive and a clean install of Windows. Needless to say my documents and email weren't anywhere in sight. Luckily, I made a backup before it happened, and was up and running in a matter of minutes, thanks to Backup Xpresso. This program saved me many hours of frustration, I can't thank you enough.

My mother got a computer as a gift last Christmas. She quickly turned into a savvy computer user, using it for email, Internet and to organize her cooking recipes. My younger brother John (the family computer wiz) installed Backup Xpresso on her computer to automatically backup her documents and emails. Sure enough, one day the power outage crashed her hard drive and my mother called me on the phone and was almost crying, because she thought that many hours of her work on our family genealogy tree was lost. I asked John to come over to her house and take a look at the computer. He was able to restore all the work she did up till the day the disaster happened. Since that day I use Backup Xpresso to keep all my files safe.
Linda, Richmond, VA

I work as a secretary in a big recruiting office in Midwest. We receive a lot of email from applicants and corporate clients, and losing our recruiting database would be like losing our business. We use Backup Xpresso to keep our files and emails safely backed up on the server. Recently this proved a valuable practice. A virus infected our network, bringing down a few of the machines. Luckily, we were able to restore the files effortlessly with Backup Xpresso.

I am a system administrator at a small office equipment company. Our management wanted me to implement a procedure that would provide a daily backup of all important files on all the machines in our office. After reviewing several commercial packages, I chose Backup Xpresso, since it provides a scheduled automatic backup of both email and files. So far I've gotten nothing but "thanks" from the employees who lost their data due to error or computer malfunctions. Great product, I would recommend it wholeheartedly.
