Maxtor has introduced a server backup solution dubbed the OneTouch II Small Business Edition that comes integrated with EMC Dantz Retrospect Express HD Server software.

Priced at $799 (RRP) the 200GB solution provides easy installation, automatic backups, quick restore features, remote notification, and simple storage management for small business Windows servers. The company estimates the drive will backup up to 300GB of compressed business files, accounting records, emails.
“Most small businesses do not have IT staff and rely on solutions that are easy to install and easy to use, so extending our Maxtor OneTouch product into the small business server market is a natural fit,” said Edwin Tien, Country Manager, Australia and New Zealand.

The great thing about the solution is that anybody can set it up. There are no complex menus or commands, and no in-depth technical knowledge is required – just plug in the USB complete a setup wizard and the Retrospect Express HD Server software helps protect database applications that must run 24×7, or files accidentally left open at the end of the day.

The drive has a user-friendly interface for easy drive management as well as Maxtor DriveLock technology to password protect the contents of the drive in case of loss or unauthorised use.
