Future Systems Solutions Announces New Casper™ 5.0

 

Powerful, Easy-to-Use Hard Disk Backup and Disk Upgrade Utility Adds Automatic Copy Verification; Boasts Major Speed Improvements

Indianapolis, IN – June 10, 2008 - Future Systems Solutions, Inc. (www.fssdev.com) announces Casper 5.0, a new version of its highly-acclaimed hard disk backup and disk upgrade utility.  Casper 5.0 enables the creation of a complete and immediately-bootable PC backup for use when disaster strikes.  All Windows Vista, XP, and Windows 2000 users will benefit from Casper 5.0 by taking advantage of enhanced backup capabilities such as:

• Creation of a complete, immediately-bootable backup replacement for a failed or corrupted hard disk.
• Stress-free, rapid recovery. The backup can be tested for viability immediately after being created, and when the backup is needed for use, no special rescue disks or time-consuming restoration of a PC image is required. 
• Integrated scheduling with Advanced Power Management.  Complete PC Backups can be made unattended, at any time - day or night - even while a user is performing other computing tasks.

Designed to provide a powerful, convenient, and easy-to-use tool for backing up hard disks or upgrading to larger hard disks, Casper 5.0 offers significant features and benefits for all Windows users.

• New!  Automatic Copy Verification™ -- sets a new standard for reliability by ensuring a copy is not corrupted by faulty RAM, a defective cable, failing disk, or bad controller interface during the cloning process.
• New!  AccuClone™ technology enhances cloning performance and virtually eliminates I/O degradation and other problems caused by poorly engineered and misbehaving third-party drivers and applications.
• New!  SmartStart™ allows users to quickly repeat a prior copy using automatically saved copy settings.
• New!  SmartClone™ enhancements eliminate severe performance degradation affecting many systems as a result of new, more aggressive filtering techniques employed by today’s leading antivirus and antispyware implementations.

Other Enhancements:

• Usability enhancements, including new streamlined wizards and Active Accessibility improvements
• Exclusive support for disks with Dell MediaDirect HPA partitions
• Support for new OEM partitions
• Additional program options
• ...and more

“Continuing our dedication to providing users with a dependable, leading-edge hard disk backup and disk upgrade solution, Casper 5.0 incorporates new technology designed to significantly enhance the reliability and speed of the copy process.  Automatic Copy Verification ensures that copies are not corrupted by faulty RAM, a defective cable, failing disk or bad controller interface, while the addition of AccuClone virtually eliminates problems caused by poorly engineered or misbehaving third-party drivers and applications that can significantly degrade backup performance.  Casper 5.0 also incorporates major enhancements to our exclusive SmartClone technology to eliminate diminished cloning efficiency affecting many systems as a result of new, more aggressive filtering techniques employed by today’s leading antivirus and antispyware programs.  The result is performance gains from 25% to over 200%.  Ease-of-use has always been of great importance in the development of our products, and Casper 5.0’s new SmartStart feature continues this tradition by enabling users to quickly repeat a prior copy using automatically saved copy settings,” said a company spokesman.  He added, “A combination of groundbreaking technologies and vital enhancements enable Casper 5.0 to rapidly create and maintain a complete, immediately-bootable, highly-dependable backup replacement hard disk for a PC.  SmartClone’s exclusive update process creates complete, up-to-date backups in the same amount of time required by other backup and disk imaging solutions to perform a differential or incremental backup to a proprietary archive file. In addition, with features such as 1‑Click Cloning, Integrated Scheduling, and Advanced Power Management support, Casper makes anytime right for a backup - while you work, while you sleep – anytime.  Having a fully automated backup and recovery solution running entirely from within Windows makes disaster recovery easier and more convenient for the consumer - and that’s what Casper is all about.  There’s no doubt that Casper 5.0 is the best Casper ever.”
