NTI Shadow 3 Free Download

June 3rd, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Software

ScreenShow

Well, this is a podcast about Home Servers and backups but this seems like a good deal. Free can’t be all that bad right?  Head over to NewTech Infosystems and look for this product:

Looks like it was $29.99. It’s good until June 8th!

You have to provide Customer Info but there is an option to opt out of their mailing list. NTI Shadow 3.7 Full Version For Windows 2000 / XP / Vista.  I’ll try to get a review of it if time permits.

About NTI Shadow:

After its official release on August 2005, and receiving PC Magazine Editor’s Choice and DingBat Magazine’s Best of the Year Award, NewTech Infosystems, Inc., is proud to present NTI Shadow 3!

WHAT’S NEW:

1. File-Level Selection

2. Support Network file backup and sharing of backup devices

3. Auto Delete Option

4. Enhanced GUI and usability

5. Custom file type filtering Include/Exclude Options

6. Enhanced Device Support: USB flash drives, NAS devices, etc…

7. Dragon Disc enabled version supports all optical media types included DVD-Ram & Blu-ray (Windows only)

NTI Shadow 3 is an award-winning easy-to-use backup application that automatically protects your photo, music, video, and various data files. It makes data restoration as easy as dragging and dropping files from one place to another. For real-time, continuous data backup, set Shadow 3 to save your files/folders every time they change. You can also specify your backup schedule by the minute, hour, day, week and start time(s) and also choose a specific or even a customized file type with Shadow 3’s new advanced file filtering.

Not only does Shadow 3 allow users to automatically copy files from their PCs to various devices in real time, but it also preserves the files in their native format - meaning no additional software is necessary to restore files. Shadow 3 works transparently in the background without disturbing you while you work, and does not take up important system resources.

Available in: English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Traditional Chinese

iMate Momento 70 7” WiFi Digital Picture Frame for $79.99

June 1st, 2008 | 3 Comments | Posted in Gadget, Windows Home Server

This woot has expired.  Look at this review of the iMate.

On sellout.woot.com they are offering the iMate 7″ Wifi frame for $79.99 plus $5 S&H.

I have one and stream photos to it from a Vista machine. It likes to play with Windows Media Connect so It will not pull photos from WHS. It’s also a Sideshow supported device. I’m sure it would work just fine with the Media Player Mod for WHS.

I currently have a Windows Media Player advanced playlist created that displays only the last two weeks of photos. I love this feature of the frame.

The screen is mediocre at best. There is also a 10.2″ version available at times. These have been popular Woot Off items. I’ve seen better frames but it’s well worth the price and the wifi has a high cool factor.

The Media Center Show also has a look at the frame.

Killer Deal on HP’s MediaSmart Server at Newegg.com

April 27th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted in Windows Home Server

The HomeServerHacks.com Blog has posted a great deal on a Media Smart Server. I’m not just repeating the deal, I bought one! I am already running the EX475 so this one is not for me. If you search for EX475 on Newegg’s site the Hard Drive deal will be at the bottom. It is a “Refurb” and I didn’t see a choice between the drive and a wireless router but I would have chosen the drive anyway. I am scheduled to receive the hard drive tomorrow so I will post on the outcome.

Update: The WD drive arrived and I couldn’t tell if it was a refurb or not. There were no stickers or mention of it anywhere. Drive is in my server and working fine. Great deal.
