Offsite Backup - The Missing Link

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard has arrived and one of its major new features known as Time Machine® has brought ease and simplicity to Mac users' performance of local backups. We applaud Apple’s commitment to this very important computer support function. While Time Machine® is a positive step forward, it does not address the offsite component necessary to complete a proper backup plan to protect your valuable files.

Getting your critical files offsite is a must! While purchasing extra hard drives and manually swapping those drives to get them offsite is one way to solve the problem, it’s by no means the best way.

Time Machine® Timelines

• August, 2006 -- Apple announces Time Machine® with Leopard • August, 2006 -- Initial design of Continuum • October, 2006 -- First developer release of Continuum • December, 2006 -- Second developer release of Continuum • January, 2007 -- MacWorld Apple demos Time Machine • February, 2007 -- Third developer release of Continuum • March, 2007 -- Apple delays Time Machine • April, 2007 -- First beta release of Continuum • June, 2007 -- Second beta release of Continuum • October, 2007 -- expanding beta release of Continuum • November 2007 -- limited public beta release of Continuum

Business owners and creative professionals understand the benefits of outsourcing backups so that they can remain focused on their core business tasks. Having to divert attention throughout the day to take care of support functions serves only to lessen overall effectiveness. And, when things get busy, these support functions tend to be the first things neglected, which is the exact opposite of what you would want to take place given their importance.

The Continuum Solution

The sole purpose of Continuum is to integrate tightly with Mac OS X Leopard’s Time Machine® to provide unprecedented, cost-effective total backup protection and leverage the mature infrastructure of our award-winning offsite backup solution. The benefits are obvious with the most important being to eliminate the need to ensure the offsite component of your overall backup strategy is being met easily, conveniently, consistently, and securely.
