- Conclusion
NTI (Newtech Infosystems) Shadow v2.0 backup software is more than a welcome addition to the existing backup software market, offering a very simple solution to the user in terms of backing up their work on the computer without having to bother with manually storing their data all the time. In addition, the software has easy GUI, while at the same time it offers you the possibility to select virtually infinite folders to backup and unlimited jobs to run in parallel, backup your data either to other HDD, USB sticks or even around the local network. Most home users will appreciate those features, while coprorate users will find the software useful, despite the fact that a number of advanced features are not included.
With NTI Shadow v2.0 you can also filter the type of data you wish to backup, from existing templates (unfortunaly you cannot add new ones) and of course time your backup schedule, depending on when you want to store your data.
All in all, we were satisfied with what the NTI Shadow v2.0 has to offers and especially with its price which has soared up to the incredible amount of...$ 0.99! During the next 90 days, visitors who log on the NTI website or click on NTI’s new “Shadow for the Price of a Song!” banner ads can download the software for only $.99—a reduction worth $29 over the MSRP. All those clicking on the banner ad (purchasers and non-purchasers) will be taken to a page offering a 50 percent discount on the purchase of all NTI products.
