Aladdin's Flashback Now Available - New Safety Utility Retrieves Any Previously Saved Version Of Any DocumentFlashBack is an Automatic Safety Net for All Macintosh Files- Adds "Unlimited Undos" to Any Application, Tracks All Saved Revisions of Any FileMacworld EXPO, Boston, MA, Aug. 6-8th, (Meeting Area #2064, Bayside) Watsonville, CA -- July 30, 1997-- Aladdin Systems, Inc., developer of the worldwide Macintosh compression standard, StuffIt®, announced today that it began shipping FlashBack?. FlashBack allows users to recover previously saved versions of any document simply by double-clicking. FlashBack falls in between traditional back-up software and file recovery utilities to provide an entirely new kind of file safety net. FlashBack allows users to easily access from one to 99 previous versions of any saved file. This new form of backup can be applied to any type of file. It functions by tracking the changes made to a file each time the file is saved (whether by an auto-save feature or by user command). Changes are maintained in the FlashBack application for each saved version by a time and date stamp. At any time in the future the user can double click on any previous version and FlashBack instantly re-creates the file as it was at the time and date indicated. "Traditional backup utilities are too cumbersome, and undo functions are too limited. FlashBack provides immediate point and click access to any previous version of the file under revision, whether it is a drawing, a multimedia file, a contract or spreadsheet. If the user needs to return to earlier editions for comparison or re-use, FlashBack instantly rebuilds the file.Ósaid Brad Peppard, vice president of marketing." Seamless Integration How It Works FlashBack provides the user with a Finder-like listing of all revised files, with the time and date of each revision. From this list,the user is able to simply double-click on the revision or drag to the desktop to rebuild the file exactly as it was at the time and date indicated. Unlimited Undos User Controls FlashBack provides the user with a Finder-like listing of all selected files and the time and date of each version. From this list, the user is able to simply double-click on the version they choose to retrieve. FlashBack then makes a copy of the original working document and incorporates those changes. "The beauty of FlashBack is that no other safety utility exists with seamless integration in the Finder, that is so affordable, simple to use, and helpful to novice and expert Macintosh users alike. It makes retrieving older versions of documents easy and painless," said Peter Thomas, FlashBack product manager. FlashBack allows users to:
