The are: * Reflect * Sync-It * The Locator * SitBack Lite For Windows * SitBack For Windows * SitBack For DOS Sync-It Product Overview The ultimate file transfer and synchronization program. Sync-It is a must have program for those of you who use more than one computer and need to frequently transfer files between them, without the hassle of connecting cables. It's the perfect program for computer users who frequently switch between portables and desktops and need the latest versions of their important files updated on both PCs. Or, if you frequently transfer files between PCs... desktops, notebooks/laptops or network whether at home or in the office, In-Sync is the answer. Better yet if you frequently transport files between offices, it's the ideal solution. Connecting cables or a modem is often impossible, cumber-some, inconvenient or impractical. Sync-It eliminates the tedious task of transferring files between PCs using cables, modems or DOS commands. With Sync-It you can use any removable media such as floppy disks as a transfer media. Sync-It even keeps track of files which have been deleted from one PC with the option to delete these from your other PC as well. This is ideal if you use programs such as a personal information manager and need to keep these files completely synchronized (identical) on two PCs. Transfer Utility The Transfer Utility is used each time you want to transfer files from one PC to another, using a transfer media such as floppy diskettes. You can be as selective as you want in determining which files or directories you want to keep synchronized. All of the files which you have created, changed or have been copied in the directories you want to keep synchronized are copied to the transfer media. If you need to keep files such as a database or personal information manager totally synchronized (identical) between two PCs, the "Synchronize" feature assures that files deleted from one PC are also deleted from the other. Optional file compression minimizes the number of disks needed for transferring files and our split file technology assures that the largest files can be transferred even when using floppy disks. Update Utility The Update Utility, restores the files you transferred from the transfer media onto the other PC, making sure only the most recent files are updated and that all files are synchronized. Major Benefits - Keeps the latest versions of files on multiple PCs updated. - No cables to attach. - Easy to install, setup and use. - Splits large files onto more than one diskette. - Compresses files during file transfers to minimize the number of diskettes needed. - Option to delete files which have also been deleted from another PC, keeping such things as databases and PIMs completely synchronized. - Automatic protection against updating files which were changed on both PCs. - Transfer media can be any removable storage device. - Does not interfere with backup programs. - On-line documentation and help facility. - Unlimited technical support for registered users.

THE LOCATOR The Locator is the ideal companion and utility for any PC user who uses removable storage as an integral part of their computing. The use of removable media such as SyQuest drives, Bernoulli Boxes, flopticals, opticals, floppies and the emerging PCMCIA cards is growing. Software programs used today occupy a massive amount of hard disk space. And data files are becoming larger and larger. Removable media use is growing as a result of the need for more and more disk space for applications such as backup, archival, secondary storage, additional primary storage and security. Keeping these disks organized, locating files and determining which disk a file is on is time consuming, difficult and cumbersome. The Locator is very different from other File Finder utilities which only allow you to search an "on-line" disk to locate files. With The Locator the disk doesn't even have to be inserted. The Locator allows you to catalog files on your removable disks into a database and using the file finder, quickly and easily locate and determine which disk a file is on. You no longer have to tediously insert each disk and repeatedly change and display directories. Now the location of these files is at your fingertips and instantly accessible. Catalog Utility The Catalog Utility creates a database on your hard disk containing information about each of the files which are cataloged. You can be as selective as you want in determining which drives, files or directories you want to catalog. You can catalog multiple drives at once or multiple disks from the same drive. Each file recorded to the database contains the following information. 1. Catalog Name (User defined) 2. Disk ID (User defined) 3. File Name 4. File name extension 5. Date/Time 6. All file attributes 7. File Size The Catalog Name and DISK ID are user defined to make it easier for you to locate files and determine which disk a file is on. File Finder The location of the potentially thousands of files you have on removable disks is at your fingertips, giving you instant access to your files. A Summary Report displays the files in alphabetical order along with the DISK ID. If you know the first character of the file name, just press the character and instantly, all files which start with the character you chose are displayed. Or, if you know the DISK ID, just click on it and all the files on the disk are displayed. To be even more selective, the Filters option allows you to define your own search criteria The Detailed Report displays all of the information captured about each file. Major Benefits * Keeps an on-line database of all files you have on removable disks. * Quickly determine which disk a file(s) is on. * All your files on removable disks are now at your fingertips, easy to locate and instantly accessible. * Keeps you more organized and efficient. * Catalog multiple drives at once or multiple disks from the same drive. * Great for use with SyQuest, Bernoulli, optical, optical juke boxes, floppies, flopticals, PCMCIA cards and networks. * Easy to install, setup and use. * On-Line Registration - On-Line Manual- On-Line Help.

Enter SitBack." - Network Computing The Problem If you're like most people, you know how important it is to regularly back up your hard disk. But like most people, you probably don't. Why? Because back up is a chore. It's non-productive and traditional backup software - although fast- requires too much effort, making backup easy to ignore. Even if you backup once a week or month, all of the files you have created or changed since your last backup are still exposed.

The Solution Its SitBack, a memory resident backup program that keeps your most recently created and changed files backed up automatically, in the background, without lifting a finger or exiting the programs you are working with. You remain 100% productive and at the same time 100% protected. Its perfect for professionals who have more important things to worry about than the usual hassle involved with other backup programs, but who's data is critical and time sensitive. How It Works SitBack works when your not by backing up your newly created and changed files each time your computer is just sitting idle for an amount of time you can specify. So your hard disk is kept currently backed up throughout the day... automatically and in the back-ground. Or you can schedule backups at specific times of the day or week. Either way it's the perfect utility for those who want complete peace of mind, without the hassle. Easy To Use/Setup SitBack is easy to install and setup. Just tell SitBack which drives, directories or files to backup, how frequently and to where. Once it's setup, the rest is left to SitBack. You probably won't even know its there.
