Auckland, New Zealand (PRWEB) January 26, 2005 -- Cristalink Limited has released a new version of Firestreamer-DVD, software that enables the native Windows Backup Utility (NTBackup) to directly access DVD media.

Firestreamer-DVD emulates a virtual tape drive and seamlessly integrates with Microsoft's NTBackup and Removable Storage Manager, making all the features of NTBackup available for DVD burners, including media spanning, data compression, volume shadow copy, and Windows Automated System Recovery (also known as bare metal restore).

The software operates on Microsoft Windows 2000, XP and 2003 Server, and is fully compatible with Microsoft Small Business Server 2000 and 2003. This makes Firestreamer-DVD an attractive server grade backup solution for home users and small businesses, when the amount of data to back up does not exceed 30-60 GB.

Firestreamer-DVD costs $30 USD for a single-user license, and may be ordered securely online. A fully functional version of the software can be downloaded for a free 30-day trial from Firestreamer's website at http://www.firestreamer.com.
