New Wireless Network Backup Solution

Posted By: Ryan Friday, July 16, 2004 11:13:01 AM

Bachmann Software today launched the newest product Mobile Backup. Mobile Backup gives Palm OS handheld owners for the first time the choice of backing up their valuable handheld data to either their network or an available memory expansion card.

Mobile Backup shares and leverages the same core Windows networking capabilities that are built into Bachmann’s popular FilePoint file manager, enabling fast backups of their handheld files to desktop computers and file servers over a wide variety of wireless connections including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, even wide area CDMA and GPRS smartphone connections. Full and incremental backups are supported, as are selective file backup and restore. An option to backup to an available memory expansion card is also offered for scenarios where a wireless network connection cannot be made.

“Mobile Backup is yet another example of us delivering on our vision of integrating handhelds and smartphones into the office and home-based networks we use every day”, said Glenn Bachmann, president and founder of Bachmann Software. “We are living in an increasingly mobile world, and we felt it was time to step up and provide a backup solution that offers users the peace of mind associated with backing up their critical data to a safe, stable network location”.

Bachmann Mobile Backup is priced at $29.99 USD [BUY]. It unclude native windows networking support for Windows 2000, XP, NT, and Windows 98.

If it only had Macintosh Support....

....then I would buy it....but I am cutting down my time with Windows unfortunately......

Intel PXA27X, Motorola's ARM Processor, or Texas Instruments OMAP? Pick one Palm Enthusiasts, the choice should be yours. When handheld makers make you choose the ARM Processor, you win.

It doesn't have to specifically. Bachman's product uses Windows SMB/CIFS file networking. Macintosh supports Windows SMB/CIFS file networking (just turn it on in OS X). Therefore it would be better said that Macintosh supports Bachman's.

Each day brings one less reason to confine one's self to Windows.

Just when I switch to Linux

I guess that is one of the problems with switching to Linux: being behind the curve on products like this.

If the post from cbowers is right (in this same story), then Linux should also be very capable of "supporting Bachman": you only have to install/enable Samba (SMB/CIFS). Possibly your distro already includes it.
