 Genie9
delivers on its promise of allowing cost-conscious users and businesses access to
the latest data protection technology. The rounding up of features and simplification
of the User Interface combined with support for Iomega's REV drives allows the implementation
of backup plans at performance/price points unheard of in the past.

Genie9 has worked closely with Iomega Corporation to implement basic support
for Iomega's REV 35GB and second generation 70GB drives. The collaboration also
led to the development of new features, most importantly One-Step Disaster Recovery
which enables GBM users to create Windows bootable REV disks that contain both the
system files as well as the backup data. Restoring a complete system is done in
one step only. Work is currently under way to enable GBM products on Iomega REV
automation loaders and other future Iomega REV products.
"Genie9 delivers on its promise of allowing cost-conscious users and businesses
access to the latest data protection technology. The rounding up of features and
simplification of the User Interface combined with support for Iomega's REV drives
allows the implementation of backup plans at performance/price points unheard of
in the past." said Muayyad Shehadeh, CEO and president of Genie9 Corporation.
Loren Bryner, worldwide product manager for REV products at Iomega, said, "We're
very happy that Genie9 has built advanced support for REV technology into its
latest release of Genie Backup Manager Software products. Iomega's REV Backup Drives
deliver easy-to-use, robust backup and archiving with removable storage that today's
SMBs and others require to protect the digital assets of their business. Combining
native support from Genie9's latest backup software with Iomega's REV technology
is a win-win for today's small and mid-sized enterprises."
Iomega REV Technology
The Iomega REV Backup Drive is a proven technology that is becoming a small business
backup and archive storage standard around the world. The first REV product was
introduced in April 2004 with the debut of the Iomega REV 35GB Backup Drive and
the 35GB REV disk. The second generation REV 70GB Backup Drive and 70GB disk was
launched in 2006. To date, Iomega has sold approximately 300,000 REV Drives and
more than 1.5 million REV Disks. The REV Drive has also won more than 25 technology
awards worldwide.
The Iomega REV 70GB Backup Drive, ideal for server implementations, is available
in external USB 2.0 and internal ATAPI and SATA models. The Iomega REV 35GB Backup
Drive, targeted to desktop backup and archive applications, is available in ATAPI,
external USB 2.0, FireWire®, SCSI, and SATA configurations. Rather than a typical
1U rack carousel automation form factor, Iomega REV desktop autoloaders utilize
a single drive on an elevator that goes up and down to ingest one of up to eight
REV disks inserted in to the loader. Iomega's desktop REV autoloaders include the
REV Loader 560, which uses a single REV 70GB drive and holds up to eight REV disks
for up to 560GB of native storage capacity.
Removable Iomega REV disks, with an estimated archival life of 30 years, are highly
portable (0.4 inches x 3.0 inches x 2.8 inches) and combine the speed and reliability
of a hard drive with the removability of tape. Reliability, ruggedness, security
(with disk password protection), instant access to data, archivability and no maintenance
are all advantages of REV products.
Iomega REV products are available from a large base of value-added resellers (VARs),
systems integrators (SIs) and others that work directly with small businesses on
their storage and data protection needs. Thomson™ Grass Valley™ REV
PRO products, designed specifically by Iomega for the professional audio/visual
industry are available from Grass Valley distributors and resellers.
