We Got Served

KeepVault v3.0 is coming your way.  Over the weekend Proxure, the company behind KeepVault, is preparing to release an update to their Online storage solution Monday morning, which should be Live by the time you read this.  So, what’s new in this update?

From Proxure:

New Functionality in v3.0

• Improved performance – now up to 30% faster backup uploads and downloads
• Improved user interface with at-a-glance status and feedback for the user
• Reduced load on the Windows Home Server via optimized local database of backup status
• Ability to create local backups of information on local external hard disks so you can restore quickly if no Internet connection is available
• Notification via Twitter, Email, or SMS if there is a backup failure
• Ability to backup any file on the Windows Home Server, not just digital photos, music, and video shares
• Improved management of online content for optimized storage usage

A couple of shots of the new interface follows:

Local backup status:

Browsing for other folders to backup other than the WHS Shares.

Normal price for a 200 GB plan is $188 per year.  Renewals get a 20% discount.  According to a little birdie chirping in my ear, there are some free accounts up for grabs this week, so stay tuned!

And, in the near future, I will be writing up an in-depth review of the new version, so stay tuned for that also.
