Data Deposit Box™ Customers to Reap Significant Cost Savings with New Industry-Leading Pricing Plan

Program enables customers to back up multiple computers at no extra cost; over 1 GB of storage results in 70 per cent savings

New York, NY, May 25 2005 – Acpana Business Systems is pleased to announce today that all Data Deposit Box™ customers will realize significant cost savings with a new industry-leading pricing plan. Starting today, customers who back up over 1 GB of data will save 70 per cent on the cost of that storage. The first 1 GB is priced at 1¢ per MB or about $10* per GB. Under the old pricing system, customers needed to back up 100 GB to receive that same discount. They can also back up multiple computers at no extra cost.

"I am running 10 computers and storing approximately 15 GB of data. With the new prices, and the fact that I can back up all of my computers without incurring extra fees, my monthly bill will go from $75 to $50 just like that," says Peter Galgano, owner of Cleft Stone Works. "On top of this, my new fee is approximately one-third of the cost of other services I have tried. Given this savings, I definitely intend to start backing up even more data. This is an ideal solution for my business."

Data Deposit Box’s comprehensive online PC backup solution enables everyday PC users to easily back up, store and share information online without the benefit of an IT support staff. A customer pays only for the storage they need. The first 1 GB is priced at 1¢ per MB. Storage over 1GB is now 70 per cent off or about $3 per GB. Previously, a customer storing almost 2 GB of data would receive a bill for about $20 per month. Under this new structure, the same amount of storage will only cost them $13. As before, backing up multiple PCs does not incur additional fees.

"I use Data Deposit Box to back up my small business files as well all some digital photos and music files," said Mike Gorski, home-based entrepreneur." Because the video and music files are so large, I am up to 3 GB of stored data, which has been costing me about $28 dollars per month. This price re-structuring is going to bring that down to $16 per month, so backing up the rest of my digital files will be really affordable."

"No one else in the industry is offering customers this kind of deal," said Peter Carroll, chief technology officer, Data Deposit Box. "Thirty-one per cent of PC users have lost all of their files due to events beyond their control.** Every small and home business user should now feel they can afford to avoid such a setback. Our new, straightforward pricing structure allows them this comfort."

More Data Deposit Facts:

Data Deposit Box is easy to use software that continuously monitors your selected files, backing them up whenever they change.
Backups take place when your PC is idle, pausing automatically when the mouse or keyboard are in use so as not to affect the speed of your computer.
Maintaining the security of your files is top of mind. Before customer files leave the PC, they are protected using an extremely secure, ‘bank grade’ encryption algorithm. They are then stored in this encrypted state at Data Deposit Box’s secure data center.
