Norman in Norway Announces Online Backup Service

Norman ASA announced the availability of Online Backup for consumer personal computers, delivering safe and affordable storage with flexible access from PC and Mac and mobile platforms including Android and Apple iOS devices.

A free introductory version of Norman Online Backup is available with
purchase of Norman Security Suite and Norman Security Suite Pro.

Norman Online Backup is also sold separately in 20GB, 100GB and
unlimited storage versions. Existing Norman security customers are
offered a 60-day free trial on the unlimited plan.

Norman research finds that one-third of computer users admit to losing
files and more than one-in-five users never backup, even though the
value of the data on a computer – irreplaceable family photos, music and
personal data – exceeds the value of the PC itself. Secure online
backup solutions are increasingly popular because hardware backup
appliances are vulnerable to breakdown and failure – just like the
computer hardware itself.

"With Norman Online Backup consumers can easily and cost-effectively access files whenever and wherever they are needed," said Audun Lodemel, vice president, Marketing. "Work
files, school files or photos backed up on the home Macintosh, for
example, can be effortlessly accessed on the work or school PC, or
easily displayed on the Android smart phone or iOS mobile device. Videos
and music kept on one device can be made instantly available on another
device."

Norman Online Backup highlights:

• For Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X
• Mobile access to files, including Android, iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
• File sharing with one click
• Multiple computers may share storage space
• Fast and easy set up with automatic or scheduled backup
• Download all files as a zip file for effortless storage
• Continuous backup with every change to a file
• Recover deleted files for up to 30 days
• Archive files online to free up space on the hard drive

"Many consumers worry about losing valuable computer data but do nothing about it," Lodemel said. "With
Norman Online Backup, saving precious data has never been easier or
more affordable. Especially during this holiday season, act now to
protect your valuable digital data."
