DATATRUST PROTECT ONLINE BACKUP SERVICE PROTECTS WINDOWS SERVER 2003

Leading online backup service releases new version supporting Windows Server 2003

ROSEVILLE, CA, (PRWEB) October 5, 2003 - U.S. Data Trust Corporation (www.usdatatrust.com), a leading provider of data protection and recovery services for business PC servers, today announced protection for Microsoft's Windows Server 2003®.

Customers using the latest version of Microsoft's server operating system, Windows Server 2003, can now take advantage of the powerful data protection capabilities of the DataTrust Protect Online Backup Service. U.S. Data Trust is one of the first online backup service providers to release a software update supporting Windows Server 2003.

"As our customers migrate to the latest Windows operating system, U.S. Data Trust is ready to support their data protection needs." said Paul Hrabal, President of U.S. Data Trust. "With our primary focus being the protection of Windows-based PC servers in the small to mid-sized business market, it is vital that our service stay up to date with the evolution in Windows-based computing."

The DataTrust Protect service is designed for customers with servers that reside outside of major data centers-such as remote or branch offices, or mid-sized businesses-and who have primarily relied on in-house tape backups to keep their data safe. Analysts estimate that nearly 50 percent of tape-based backups fail to restore properly, exposing these businesses to significant risk. Conversely, U.S. Data Trust guarantees recovery of all business-critical data and allows companies to return to the state of their business prior to a data-loss event.

DataTrust Protect Online Backup Service is sold as a managed service with plans starting as low as $199 per month. Installation is simple and can usually be completed within 20 minutes. Once configured, DataTrust Protect runs automatically in the background with the U.S. Data Trust Service Operations Center monitoring the backup operation 24 hours a day.
