Introducing BackupBuddy.Net Professional
As we have mentioned previously, we have been working very hard over the past year on our next generation of mobile backup technology: BackupBuddy.Net. And it's now finally available!
Just to recap: BackupBuddy.Net allows you to wirelessly backup your Treo smartphone over the Internet. It has been engineered to be both extremely fast and extremely secure.
Our focus for BackupBuddy.Net is ease-of-use and reliability. So one of the features we spent a lot of time perfecting is our unique Trickle Backup feature. Trickle Backup allows BackupBuddy.Net to transparently and continuously backup your files when you're not actively using your Treo. It stays completely out of your way and does not interfere with the use of your Treo. In fact it's so transparent, you may even forget that it's active. And if you're not using an unlimited data plan and need to watch how much wireless data you use, BackupBuddy.Net supports once-daily (scheduled) backups and manual backups as well.
The initial release, BackupBuddy.Net Basic, backed only up essential PIM files: Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Memos. Today we've released the Professional Edition which backs up your entire device including all third-party applications and data. Anybody who previously purchased a subscription for the Basic edition is entitled to a complimentary upgrade to Pro - for free. Simply send an email to upgrades@bluenomad.com and include your phone number with the Subject: BB.Net Pro Upgrade.
A 14 day trial version is available which allows you to backup as much and as often as you want. We're also offering discounted 6 and 12 month subscriptions to our existing customers.
For a limited time, the Professional subscriptions are priced at $19.95 and $12.95 respectively. To take advantage of the introductory pricing, you can visit the website http://www.backupbuddy.net and select one of the subscription plans. Blue Nomad customers can save an additional 25% by entering the coupon code "bbnetprointro" during checkout!
So please feel free to give it a whirl and let us know what you
