Argentum announces version 2.1 of Argentum Backup, the fastest, easiest and smallest ergonomic backup software product available for Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, XP, and 2003. Argentum announces an important, principal innovation - full and native support for Zip64, new 64-bit extensions to Zip format, which is used as a standard, portable way to store personal and corporate backups, reliably and securely. Argentum Backup works in conjunction with WinZip 9, a world-famous Zip utility, to back up and restore valuable data on any Windows desktop or laptop, either at home or in the office.

In addition to supporting the original Zip file format, Argentum Backup 2.1 now supports the 64-bit extensions (Zip64) to the Zip file format, introduced with the release of original WinZip 9. The extended format lets everyone back up their data in huge Zip backup files of virtually unlimited size. The original Zip file format limited the number of member files in a Zip file to 65,535, and the maximum size of both the Zip file itself and any member item to 4 gigabytes. For all practical purposes, the 64-bit extended format eliminates all these restrictions. Argentum Backup 2.1 remains fully compatible with the original file format and uses the original Zip format whenever possible.

"One of the best things I like about Argentum Backup is that it simply creates a Zip file. It doesn't use a file format that may not be compatible with other machines or that requires software from the Iomega, etc." - said Fernand Ouellette, a long-time user of Argentum Backup from Essex Junction, Vermont, USA. "For example, if my home computer crashed and I was using Microsoft Backup for Windows 98, I couldn't open the files at work while my home computer was being repaired, since my PC at work uses Windows XP, which isn't compatible with Microsoft Backup for Windows 98. In short, I like the fact that it uses a format I can quickly open on any machine without trying to find and load software. Great, simple, intuitive product."

Other than that, Argentum Backup remains what it has always been, a quick and reliable backup solution for everyone. It was designed around and built for end users. A key design goal for the product was to ensure that users spend their time accomplishing their objectives, rather than worrying about or having to manage their software. Whether you are a small business user, a user in a larger organization, an administrator, or a user working from home, Argentum Backup is the essential tool to protect your productivity, to protect your files and folders.

  • Extremely intuitive and easy to use.
  • Extremely small, fast and reliable.
  • Simply creates Zip (or Zip64) files.
  • A rich set of smart backup templates.
  • Very competitive retail pricing options.

These are the top five key features that differentiate Argentum Backup from other backup software. A detailed explanation of what makes Argentum Backup different to other backup programs is available at:
