Intego Personal Backup X4:
The Essential Tool to Backup and Protect Mac Users’ Digital Lives

Paris, France, November 17, 2005 – Intego, the Macintosh security specialist, has been awarded a Best In Show Award by the staff of Macworld UK magazine for Personal Backup X4, the latest version of the best-selling program for backing up, synchronizing, and archiving files, and for cloning hard disks. The editors of Macworld magazine gave this award to outstanding products that were presented at the London MacExpo 2005, which took place from October 27-29 in London. Intego is proud to receive this award, especially from such an exacting and knowledgeable jury.

Intego Personal Backup X4 is the essential tool for backing up and protecting Mac users’ digital lives. Personal Backup X4 can manually or automatically back up files, synchronize data between two computers or volumes, move files from one volume or partition to another, and clone bootable Mac OS X volumes. Users can choose from one-click operations or custom-defined scripts.

Operations can be carried out with a click of the mouse, or users can create scripts for regular backup operations, defining exceptions, selecting multiple sources, setting schedules, and even setting up sequences of multiple backup operations. Users can also clone their Mac OS X startup volume to ensure they have a bootable backup at all times.

“We are very proud to receive this award for Intego Personal Backup X4,” said Laurent Marteau, CEO, Intego,  “We know that Macworld’s editors are very demanding, and that they only select the finest new products for these awards. Backing up data is one of the most essential elements of computer security, and users have irreplaceable files on their Macs: personal photos, music, videos, work files, and much more. Personal Backup X4 provides users with the fastest, most comprehensive tool for protecting their files on Mac OS X.”
