London, UK, May 8th 2008 – Paragon Software Group (PSG), the technology leader in innovative data security and data management solutions, today announced the release of Rescue Kit for Mac OS X - Lite. The new software allows users of Mac OS X systems to recover quickly and easily from system problems by rescuing important data and restoring their system back to its original state.
Paragon's Rescue Kit for Mac OS X - Lite helps to prevent data loss in the event of a 'worst case' disaster such as a system crash or other misfortune. This innovative solution assists in the recovery of vital data to another destination such as a removable drive, another hard drive or network volume. The new tool kit comes with fully automated wizards that allow users to easily backup and restore partitions.
“In the event of a serious system malfunction, the ideal recovery solution would enable you to employ a recovery tool 'after the event to get your system up and running in as little time as possible, with no loss or corruption of your sensitive data," said Konstantin Komarov, CEO of Paragon Software Group.
Using Paragon's Rescue Kit for the Mac OS X - Lite, users can now skip the time consuming process of application setup and customization that is now required to become operational. The Paragon Rescue Kit restores the Mac to its original state and was created to enable users to be up and running quickly. It is the only solution which can perform a sector-level backup, enabling end users to backup and restore the entire system much faster than typical utilities available today. The product incorporates Paragon’s unique NTFS for Mac™ technology, which allows rapid reading and writing of data to NTFS volumes and easily transfers data between Windows and Mac partitions. The Rescue Kit also includes a File Transfer Wizard, which gives end users complete access to any file system, even those not supported by the OS or even if it is on an un-mounted partition (i.e. drive letter is not assigned).
"No one can afford to lose all the information on their computer, and the lost productivity can be devastating. Our Rescue Kit helps users get up and running in no time. It does what it says - and comes to the rescue - with an optimized solution," Komarov added.
Key Features include:
- Bootable Recovery Media – Performs a full backup/restore and/or file/folder rescue even if the operating system cannot be loaded
