Casper Disk Backup and Upgrade Software Optimized for Windows 7; Enables Windows to Boot and Run Directly from External USB Drives

Indianapolis, IN – December 16, 2009 - Future Systems Solutions, Inc. (www.fssdev.com) announces Casper 6.0, the latest version of its highly-acclaimed hard disk backup and disk upgrade solution.  Casper 6.0 enables the creation of a complete and immediately-bootable PC backup for use when disaster strikes.  All Windows 7, Vista, XP, and Windows 2000 users will benefit from Casper 6.0 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 6.0 offers significant features and benefits for all Windows users.

• New!  Enhanced support for all versions of Windows 7, including new functionality available only to Windows 7 users
• New!  USB boot capability.  Casper 6 creates a fully bootable copy of a Windows system drive that can boot and run directly from an external USB drive. (Requires a computer with BIOS support for booting from USB hard disk type devices)
• New!  Solid State Drive (SSD) and LDS support increases the life expectancy and enhances the performance of solid state and long data sector drives
• New!  SmartAlert™ email notifications let users know when a backup has been completed or only when a backup requires attention for true “set it and forget it” operation
• New!  Runtime controls allow users to quickly change power management and notification options after a backup is underway, regardless of how the backup was started

 

Plus:

·         Usability enhancements, including new larger icons, friendlier wizards, and accessibility improvements

·         Support for additional OEM partitions

·         Automatic update notifications

• …and more

 

“Casper 6.0 incorporates new technology designed to make backing up and upgrading hard disks an even faster, more reliable, easier to use, and feature-rich experience.  In Casper 6, Future Systems Solutions has incorporated product enhancements that enable the company to proudly expand upon a legacy that has earned Casper frequent acclaims from noted PC industry pundits.  Optimized support for all versions of Windows 7, the ability to boot a backup directly from an external USB drive, and solid state drive and long data sector drive support provide users with leading-edge backup capabilities.  Casper 6.0’s new SmartAlert email notifications advise users that an on-demand or scheduled backup has been completed, while runtime controls allow users to change power management and backup notification options while a backup is in progress,” said a company spokesman.  He continued, “As always, Casper rapidly creates and maintains 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 stress-free.”

Compatibility

Casper 6.0 runs on all versions of Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP and Windows 2000.  It works with any hard disk recognized by Windows, including all SATA, eSATA, ATA/IDE, SCSI, USB, Firewire, and solid state drives – even hardware RAID arrays. Also, Casper makes backing up or upgrading a notebook’s hard disk as easy as plugging in an external USB notebook drive.
