BackUPMAX backs up and restores files, but so do other services.
BackUPMAX Personal Edition takes a step further by allowing users to erase sensitive data remotely from lost or stolen computers and can actually help you to recover a lost or stolen computer.
More than 637,000 laptops are lost each year at US airports alone according to a survey by the Ponemon Institute.
A laptop is stolen every 53 seconds and according to the FBI, 97% are never recovered.
"BackUPMAX Personal Edition will actually snap pictures and movies of the thief using a computer's built-in camera. It can listen to sounds in the room. It can even discover its location," explained software developer Rob Cosgrove, the founder of the Online Backup industry, "It sends all this information silently to your BackUPMAX account where you can view it."
Users can log into their BackUPMAX accounts on the web. From there they can order their lost computers to shred files using Military-grade DoD 5220.22-M protocol. Users can also locate their computers on a map using an innovative process that does not require a GPS or other special hardware or software on the lost computer.
Users can view video and snapshots, listen to room sounds, query the wireless network card and system information – all of which can help locate the computer and prosecute the thief.
Of course, BackUPMAX has all the normal online backup features, plus some including web-based restore, cross-platform backups and restores, user-defined backup sets, configurable file retention policy, user-defined private keys, and very high security.
BackUPMAX Personal Edition is for laptops and personal computers. Subscriptions start at $9.95/month for 10GB. BackUPMAX Business Edition is for Servers, and starts at $89.95/month. Only the Personal Edition contains the Remote Security Suite.
