San Francisco, CA, March 4, 1999 -- Palm Computing® organizer owners no longer have to worry about whether their third-party applications and data installed on their organizers is safely backed up. While the built-in Palm® applications back up every time the organizer is synchronized using HotSync® technology, this is not true for most third-party applications and data. BackupBuddy automatically ensures that all applications and data are safely backed each time the HotSync button is pressed.

"We're very excited to have been awarded Platinum Certification by 3Com and Quality Partners. Users now have a robust , reliable, and well-tested backup solution to ensure the safety of their applications and data.," said Dr. Alexis Hinds, President of Blue Nomad.

As Simple To Use as The Palm Computing Organizer Itself
BackupBuddy features "one-click" installation using the supplied installer. No extra configuration is required to get a perfect backup. Additionally, a slick progress window shows users the status of backups while they are in progress.

Up-To-Date Backups after each HotSync - Automatically
After the initial HotSync synchronization, BackupBuddy determines which files have been modified on the organizer, and optimizes subsequent backups such that they proceed very quickly.

Effortless Restores
In the unfortunate circumstance of an organizer's loss of data or power, simply putting the organizer back in the cradle and pressing the HotSync button automatically restores all applications, data, and program settings, bringing the organizer back to its prior state without the need for any reconfiguration.

Backup Files In FlashROM
BackupBuddy seamlessly integrates with TRG FlashBuilder and FlashPro software. Blue Nomad has worked closely with the Technology Resource Group to ensure the effortless backup of any files stored in FlashROM.

Highly Customizable
BackupBuddy is highly customizable: each user can tailor the operation of BackupBuddy to his or her preferences, allowing even more speedy backups.
