Balancing user-friendly simplicity with a host of advanced options for increased precision, v8 continues to offer affordability, reliability, simplicity and speed. BackupAssist v8 is available globally as of 06.26.2014.

Cortex IT Labs delivers BackupAssist v8 with significant improvements to users’ backup, restore and recovery capabilities. It greatly improves the speed of both backup and restore times by implementing industry leading “fast incremental” technology.
