Intego to provide backup software to LaCie
September 2008 by Marc Jacob
Intego, the Macintosh security specialist, announced a strategic partnership with LaCie (Euronext LAC), the acclaimed vendor of
high quality storage solutions. LaCie sells more than 2 million DAS and NAS devices per
year worldwide. Intego will help ensure that Mac users around the world are protected in
case of data loss by providing two powerful, user-friendly solutions to back up data to
LaCie drives, starting with the LaCie 4big and LaCie Network Space in September 2008.
Intego will be providing two backup programs—Intego Backup Assistant and Intego
Backup Manager Pro—that are derived from Intego’s award-winning Personal Backup
X5, and will be bundled with LaCie’s products. Intego Backup Assistant will be included
with all LaCie hard drives and some of its network storage devices, and Intego Backup
Manager Pro will be provided with LaCie’s professional network storage devices.
Intego Backup Assistant and Intego Backup Manager Pro are comprehensive backup
solutions for Mac OS X, protecting users from data loss by systematically making copies
of their documents, applications, and system files. Intego Backup Assistant can back up
files to LaCie hard disks and network storage devices, and Intego Backup Manager Pro
can make backups to any hard drive, network volume, iDisk, optical disc or iPod. Intego
Backup Manager Pro can also make bootable backups of a Mac OS X startup volume
and synchronize data between two computers, such as a desktop Mac and a laptop.
