Mac OS X Bootable ABSplus Now Available -- New Mac OS X-Bootable Automatic Backup System Provides Easy Backup and Elegant Disaster Recovery in an Instant -- COSTA MESA, Calif. (August 12, 2002) - CMS Peripherals(R) today announced the new ABSplus previewed at Macworld Expo in New York is available immediately, starting at $299, from all major distributors, Apple resellers, corporate resellers and directly from CMS at <http://www.cmsproducts.com/>. The new, easy-to-use ABSplus is the first ever backup solution and restoration/recovery system for Mac(R) OS X with complete system bootability. "Even if you don't know a gigabyte from a horse bite, the CMS ABSplus is so easy to set up and use, even your grandmother could do it," explained Bob "Dr. Mac" LeVitus. "And once it's up and running, she doesn't have to do a thing -- the intelligent hardware and software do the work for her." "The ability to boot into Mac OS X from an ABSplus backup opens up a wealth of possibilities, including recovering from any kind of disaster instantly," said Ken Burke, president of CMS Peripherals. "Since files are archived in native file format you can access your entire system immediately. The new svelte design compliments the ease of use for which ABSplus is known, and the shock mounting can withstand even the most rugged travel conditions." The new ABSplus provides a native file format backup allowing the user to boot straight into an exact copy of their system on Mac OS X by simply plugging their ABSplus unit into the FireWire port, holding down the option key and starting the machine. ABSplus Makes Backup Easy The patent-pending ABSplus software makes the backup process hassle-free by automatically launching a backup when the drive is plugged in. Initial software setup is a quick install with a settings choice of "express" for all standard options, or "advanced" for custom settings. Several options have been integrated for fast, easy recovery from disasters as small as a single corrupt file or as large as a complete hard drive failure. The award-winning FireWire ABSplus can also be used as additional storage with enough high-speed throughput for streaming audio and video files. Designed to defy extreme travel conditions, this ABSplus is newly redesigned with shock mounting for unprecedented durability and able to withstand a non-operating shock of more than 1000Gs.
