Roxio Launches BackOnTrack Online

Your Ultimate Digital Life Insurance Policy

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Roxio(R), a
division of Sonic Solutions(R) (Nasdaq: SNIC), the leader in digital media
software, today launched BackOnTrack(TM) Online, a digital media storage
solution that automatically and continuously protects personal data and
precious family memories. Trivially easy to set up and maintain, personal
content is encrypted and uploaded to a remote and secure Roxio online backup
center. In the event of computer data loss due to a crash, system theft, human
error or even natural disaster, consumers' digital files can be quickly
restored from any Web-connected computer. Consumers can begin safeguarding
their digital lives today through a risk-free, 15-day trial available directly
from Roxio at http://www.roxio.com. A 12-month subscription offering unlimited
storage space is available for $49.99.
BackOnTrack Online complements the recently released Roxio BackOnTrack
Suite, a client-based backup application that offers components for system
restoration, disaster recovery, as well as data backup to disc. Using both
solutions in conjunction can comprehensively protect against the risk of any
computer data loss.
"Losing irreplaceable photos of your baby's first steps, a family reunion,
or video from your wedding would be devastating, yet the majority of consumers
are still not protecting themselves from this possibility," said Alexander
Hars, director of product marketing, Roxio division of Sonic Solutions.
"Unfortunately, hardware disasters can happen to anyone at anytime. As a
company that enables consumers to manage and enjoy their photos, videos and
music, we naturally understand the importance of protecting all these precious
multi-media projects and content. With Roxio BackOnTrack Online, our
customers can now quickly and conveniently backup their digital content and
enjoy the peace-of-mind of knowing that their lifetime of memories is secure."
Powered by the award-winning backup solution provider Carbonite, Roxio
BackOnTrack Online offers a number of features designed to simplify and
streamline the otherwise complicated and often time consuming data backup
process:
Fast and Easy: BackOnTrack Online takes the complication and guess work
out of data protection with a streamlined installation process, automated
data uploading, and a straightforward User Interface design and workflow.

Unlimited Storage: BackOnTrack Online offers unlimited storage capacity so
users don't have to pick and choose the files to backup. Lengthy videos,
extensive photo and music collections, or even the entire contents of a
hard drive can be easily uploaded to Roxio's online backup center.

Completely Automated: With BackOnTrack Online, consumers can set it once
and forget it. New and changed files are automatically detected and
uploaded whenever the computer is connected to the Internet. To maintain
system efficiency, BackOnTrack Online will upload content to the Internet
after the computer is idle for a few minutes.

Safe and Secure: All files are automatically encrypted for privacy before
being transferred to Roxio's secure remote backup center and can be safely
recovered from any Internet-connected computer.

Easy Restore: Allows consumers to quickly recover everything or individual
files or folders using the BackOnTrack Online Drive, which appears as a
standard drive on Windows "My Computer".
