| COSTA MESA, Calif. (January 16, 2004) – CMS Products® today announced its new BounceBack Professional, was honored with a MacMinute Showtime Award. The Showtime Awards were presented to new products announced or demonstrated at the 2004 Macworld Conference and Expo in San Francisco. As MacMinute Editors explained, the Showtime Awards represent, "the twelve products we found to be the most all-around 'cool' and intriguing demonstrated to us -- or hand tested by us -- during Macworld Conference & Expo in San Francisco." Specifically regarding BounceBack Professional, MacMinute Editors said, "The backup and restoration application, once bundled with CMS' ABSplus hardware devices, is now a US$99 standalone product. It makes the backup and restoration product easier than ever before." "BounceBack Professional brings easy-to-use backup and restoration to a greater number of people," said Ken Burke, president of CMS Products, Inc. "As data becomes more irreplaceable, providing easy backup and restoration is infinitely more important. We're thrilled to be recognized by MacMinute for achieving our goal, especially considering they've evaluated every major product on the market." Bounce Back from Disaster The easy to use BounceBack Professional is a simple way to quickly recover from a disaster. BounceBack Professional only takes a few steps to select a FireWire drive as the designated backup drive. Once identified as the BounceBack Professional device, CMS' patent-pending "Automatic Launcher" technology makes backing up a breeze by automatically sensing when the drive is connected and backing up the system. Additional incremental backups are automatic with BounceBack Professional simply by plugging in the designated drive. BounceBack Professional can activate incremental backups with a connected desktop FireWire drive on a designated schedule or on power-up. Booting from the backup allows users to "run" their system on any Mac OS X machine and quickly restore files or an entire system. |
