(TUCSON, AZ - August 22, 1994) - Artisoft, Inc. announced today that two
new products in its ArtiSave Backup software/hardware line are now
shipping. The first offering is a software-only solution that supports
Mountain Network Solutions' TD-250 internal mini-cartridge tape drive,
SideCar and SideCar II parallel port tape drives, and Colorado Memory
System's Jumbo 250 mini-cartridge tape drive. This software is priced at
$199. The second offering is a software/hardware bundle with the ArtiSave
Backup software and the Mountain TD-250 tape drive that is priced at
$399.

"Data backup is something that we strongly recommend for all of our users.
These cost-effective hardware and software products further strengthen our
ability to provide a total networking solution," commented Artisoft Vice
President of Sales & Support Joel A. Davis.

"The ArtiSave Backup products provide us with valuable solutions for our
new and existing LANtastic installations. We are able to re-visit
customers and supply them with valuable add-on products while creating an
additional revenue stream for our organization," commented Artisoft
Advantage Partner Sandy Silverberg, President of Ideasign Computers, Sioux
Falls, S.D.

The ArtiSave Backup software offers many powerful features including easy
installation, easy-to-use menus and automatic scheduling of backup events.
This software can be run directly on any PC and allows servers to be
backed up while users are on the network. It offers selective
(file-by-file) and automatic backup modes.

Users can save valuable administration time with the powerful Librarian
feature that allows automatic tracking of archived files for easy location
and restoration. Users can catalog every backup and view all instances of
a file, enabling users to choose which version of the file they wish to
restore.

Mountain's TD-250 mini-cartridge tape backup drive is an internal drive
that reads and writes up to 250MB of data in standard QIC-80 format using
advanced error recovery and correction techniques to ensure the highest
possible data integrity and reliability.

The SideCar and SideCar II 305MB backup drives provide easy-to-install,
portable network backup. SideCar connects directly to the PC's parallel
port without the need for an additional interface card to be installed in
the PC. In the event of data loss, the combination of the ArtiSave Backup
software and the SideCar tape drive provides a unique network node
disaster recovery capability. An administrator has the ability to take the
portable SideCar drive to the disabled PC and invoke the Rescue command to
quickly and completely restore the data.
