Arctor is an easy-to-use and very powerful Disk-to-Disk (D2D) backup solution.
There are many benefits to using a hard disk as backup medium for your files:
Today’s cheapest and fastest backup media are hard disks
All your backup files are readily available online
Simple online access to older versions of your files
At a current price of $1.00 per GB or less, no other backup medium is cheaper than IDE hard disks. And backups on hard disks are much easier and faster to restore!
Large enterprises have used automated backup solutions based on tape libraries or the more modern "D2D backup" for years. With Arctor also small and medium sized companies can set up a reliable backup solution with fast restore capabilities at a fraction of the costs.

Because D2D backup up to now was targeted at enterprise level computing the available solutions cost $20,000 and more. The Arctor solution requires a standard PC with one or more large disk drives (or a RAID system of any type).
Appropriate hardware can be purchased new for as low as $700 (e.g. a machine with 120 GB drive and DVD writer). Since Arctor’s hardware requirements are low, even an outdated PC equipped with a large enough disk drive is sufficient as well. Add $40 to $549 for our software and you have a network attached backup system for a workgroup or a small business.
