Future Systems Solutions Launches Casper Secure™ Drive Backup 2.0 for PGP® Whole Disk Encryption

INDIANAPOLIS, July 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Future Systems Solutions, Inc. (www.fssdev.com) announces Casper Secure™ Drive Backup 2.0 for PGP® Whole Disk Encryption, a major update to the first and only PC backup solution to confront the problems affecting users of whole disk encryption technology. While whole disk encryption technology ensures sensitive data remains fully secured on a PC, traditional backup programs and disk imaging solutions fail to deliver the same level of security for a backup, and make the recovery process unnecessarily difficult and extremely time-consuming. Designed specifically to address these problems, Casper Secure Drive Backup 2.0:

• Creates a complete backup of a whole disk encrypted drive that retains all of the encrypted data in its original encrypted state.
• Creates a fully updatable backup of a whole disk encrypted drive in one step. Other products require two separate, extremely time-consuming steps to accomplish this.
• Produces a backup of a whole disk encrypted drive that can be used immediately as a complete replacement for the original, or restored to a new drive without performing a separate, day-consuming re-encryption step.

"In recent years, enterprises, SOHOs, and consumers have turned to whole disk encryption technology to safeguard their data.  Unfortunately, standard backup tools leave confidential data unprotected on the backup, and additional, time-consuming efforts are required to separately encrypt and secure the backup. Likewise, the recovery process with these tools necessitates a separate restore and time-consuming re-encryption process that can easily require more than a day to complete. Casper Secure Drive Backup 2.0 is the only solution to create a complete backup of a whole disk encrypted drive that retains all of the encrypted data in its original encrypted state. Backups of confidential or private data cannot be accessed by unauthorized users," said a company spokesman.  He added, "And because the backup of a whole disk encrypted drive can be used immediately as a complete replacement for the original, or restored to a new drive without performing a separate, day-consuming re-encryption step, recovery is fast."
