LOCKSTEP RELEASES BACKUP FOR WORKGROUPS VERSION 4.1
Disk-Based Backup Software Now Supports 64-bit Windows Server 2008
 

Scottsdale, Arizona USA, 30 July 2008 --  Lockstep Systems, Inc. today announced the release of Backup for Workgroups version 4.1, which now supports 64-bit Windows Server 2008. Backup for Workgroups is a disk-based automatic backup software program designed for Windows servers, desktops and laptops.

“With the introduction of Exchange Server 2007, which only runs on 64-bit Windows Server 2008 or 2003, many small companies are now finding that they now have both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows computers running in their operations,” said Karl Forster, president of Lockstep Systems, Inc. “As these businesses install new Exchange Servers, Backup for Workgroups can backup both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows computers.”

Designed for small businesses, Backup for Workgroups is easy to use and delivers key enterprise-class features at an affordable price; keeping overall data protection costs to a minimum. It operates as a client/server application, with the server side software centralizing the storage of the backup data to disk-based media. The Backup Client software is installed on each computer to backup and ships as both a native 32-bit and 64-bit application. The Setup program installs the appropriate version of the Backup Client based on the version of Windows that is running.

Pricing & Availability
Backup for Workgroups is available direct from Lockstep Systems, Inc. The suggested retail price is $99 per client and $199 per Open-File Add-On with volume discounts available. Current Backup for Workgroups users should contact Lockstep Systems, Inc. for upgrade details and pricing. New users are invited to download the 30-day trial software. Reseller inquiries welcome.
