Overview
Hypertec's Firestorm USB powered external hard drives are high performing units with stylish aluminum outer casings that are lightweight yet strong. Simply plug a unit in and enjoy the luxury of high speed data storage for music, video, documents, spreadsheets and any other data! Firestorm external hard drives are supplied with EMC's award winning Retrospect Express backup and disaster recovery software, providing proven data protection capabilities in an easy-to-use software package. Designed for safety and security, Retrospect Express protects your desktop or notebook against loss due to viruses, user error, damaged hardware, hackers, or even lost or stolen computers.¦Retrospect's patented Progressive Backup saves time by backing up only new or edited files after the first full backup, whilst automated grooming of older backup data ensures that backups fit within the allotted disk space. Retrospect Express performs accurate restores without bringing back unwanted files and folders that were previously deleted, renamed, or moved, avoiding confusion and potential costly mistakes. Not only does Retrospect Express provide fast backups, but it is also easy for all to use and offers protection in the form of data encryption. In addition to EMC's Retrospect Express, Firestorm units are supplied with HDDErase disk sanitization software, and Truecrypt 256bit AES encryption software to ensure your data is not only safe, but 100% secure.¦Version 7.6 (available as a free upgrade) of EMC Retrospect integrates EMC Mozy, an online backup package which includes 2GB of free on-line storage space. Users now have the choice of backing their data up to their Firestorm hard drive, or backing up online to EMC's safe and secure datacenter. In the event of a catastrophic failure users can easily restore their data to any computer, from anywhere, over the internet without having to install any extra software or make any configuration changes.
