Matrix42 Personal Backup manages the part of the PC previously disregarded. All data and configurations of the end-user can be restored at any time by the push of a button: centrally from the Empirum Console, or directly on the user’s PC. This works when a complete new PC is installed or during a selective restoring of backed up data, including ‘favorites’ and email settings, is called for. Besides backing up and restoring, Personal Backup also makes the migration of operating system configurations and applications possible, even across versions borders. Thus the operating system settings, data and application configurations are kept and maintained for a migration from Windows NT to Windows 7.
