SendPhotos Announces an Automatic Lifetime Photo Backup Feature

SendPhotos Press Release Summary:
SendPhotos’ latest software release, LifeTime Photos Backup, offers consumers completely automatic and permanent digital photo backup to its digital vault and photo sharing portal. Photo backup now requires no time or effort, is protected off-site in a world-class data storage facility, and integrates with a powerful photo-sharing internet portal.

BOULDER, COLO. - May 15, 2006 - SendPhotos Inc., provider of software that helps people share (email) digital photos in an easy and creative way, today released its latest product, LifeTime Photos Backup, to make digital photo backup (and retrieval) effortless and permanent – without the need for physical data storage media.

After months of developing and testing the program alongside enhancements to its photo-sharing web portal, http://albums.sendphotos.com, SendPhotos, Inc launches this free User Interface software product to endow consumers with a superior alternative to backing up photo files to CDs or external hard drives. Users may install the free program on as many PCs as they wish and set the automatic backup to the frequency and folders they wish to preserve. LifeTime Photos Backup then uploads all photo files (in JPEG format) to a safe online vault with the ability to recognize renamed/altered files, duplicate files, and even separate profiles for individual PCs sharing the same online account. Users pay only a monthly storage fee starting at $2.99/month for the space they use on SendPhotos’ ultra-secure servers.

Once securely stored online, users have unlimited access their photo collection from any web-enabled PC in the world. They create photo albums to share with friends and family, watch slide shows, and order prints and photo gifts through the SendPhotos’ LifeTime service site. So, in addition to saving users the time and effort required for more traditional photo backups (not to mention maintaining their regular frequency), LifeTime Photos presents the security and tools to share picture memories with current and future generations.

LifeTime Photos backup service features include:

Software that backs up your pictures automatically so you don’t have to. You set which folders to backup and how frequently. LifeTime Photos will work in the background all by itself.

Photo files are stored in a leading-edge data storage facility complete with fire, flood, power, humidity, temperature, and storm protection. They are also backed up daily in a secondary location of equivalent security hundreds of miles away from the primary servers’ location in Denver, CO, USA.

Since you pay only for storage space, you can have LifeTime Photos Backup installed on as many computers as you want free of charge. All of your photos will be nicely organized by computer once online. You no longer have to worry about which computer has which photos, or worry about separate backups for various household PCs.

Unlimited access to all of your photos any time, from any web-enabled computer.

Create albums and slide shows, or order prints and gifts quickly and easily. Share albums with the public or password-protect your pictures - at your own unique URL - for no additional cost.

Protect your pictures and memories forever, not just until physical storage media changes and you have to transfer them again. Or, until disaster hits your PC’s hard drive and/or household media storage location.

"We recognized that most popular online photo sharing sites offer storage as means to generate revenue through prints and photo gifts. The obvious priority on photofinishing orders and advertising revenue - instead of on the protection of the customer’s pictures - does not ensure these memories are there for future generations to enjoy," says CEO Mike Kronenberg. He adds, "We care for your memories therefore we combine the advantages of permanent and automated online backups with the advantages of photo sharing platforms. Our first priority is the safety and longevity of your photos, and we add all of the tools to enjoy and share them as well."

In addition to serving the consumer market, SendPhotos, Inc is proud to announce the ability to private brand the LifeTime Photos Backup software and LifeTime Photos web-based service to the commercial market. SendPhotos can personalize its web interface to integrate with the sites of reselling partners, who then can offer the service to customers as their own. Interested private label clients may contact Mr. Matt Diehl directly at 303-938-0100 x103 or mdiehl@sendphotos.com for further branding and sales information.
