New Dashboard Software Adds Support for Mobile
Devices
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ:STX) today announced the second
generation of its sleek external storage lineup, Seagate® Backup
Plus Slim. With a svelte compact design and superspeed USB 3.0
interface, the Backup Plus Slim drive is the ideal storage solution
to aggregate and back up valued photos, videos and other files
despite being spread across numerous devices, social networks and
personal computers.

This new offering includes the backup software, Seagate
Dashboard, which made the first generation of Seagate® Backup Plus
drives so popular. The Seagate Dashboard software provides an easy
one-click backup solution, but can also be set as a scheduled
backup up as needed. Additionally, the Dashboard software will back
up Facebook and Flickr albums to ensure that even video and photos
shared through these networks are backed up and easy to find. Use
the Save and Share features to download and upload content from
these social media networks. Even all the photos you have been
tagged in can be backed up from your social networks to the
drive.
“Today, digital storage is important for everyone who uses a
personal computer or a mobile device,” said Scott Horn, vice
president of global marketing for Seagate. “We are all creating
content, whether that be photos from our last activity, video of a
baby’s first steps or a proposal for your next project. All of
these files hold a special place of importance and Seagate is in
the business of providing products that can store those valuable
files.”
“Seagate Backup Plus has been designed to make the chore of
backing up as simple as possible. This compact, attractive external
storage is hassle free and includes our Dashboard backup software
for easy backup of social media albums, PC content and now even
your mobile devices. Seagate is committed to continue our product
innovation in order to provide our customers with the quality they
expect and new benefits to address their current storage
needs.”
New for the Backup Plus family of external storage this year is
the addition of a mobile backup application to provide protection
for one’s digital data on nearly every device. By simply installing
the free Seagate Mobile Backup app on an iOS or Android mobile
device, one can easily back up all of the pictures and videos from
that device to the drive or a cloud service. While on a home
network, content from mobile devices can be sent directly to the
drive via a Wi-Fi connection. Cloud services such as Dropbox or
Google Drive can be used for backup while on the road.
“Mobile devices account for the largest amount of captured video
and photos today,” said Chris Chute, research director for IDC’s
Worldwide Digital Imaging Practice. “Seven out of every ten
pictures captured in 2013 were taken with a smartphone. As a
greater portion of our memories are captured by the handheld
devices, it becomes increasingly more important that these files be
backed up either to a cloud service or locally.”
Backup Plus external storage is available in a range of
capacities to fit every size of job. The USB 3.0-powered, 2TB drive
is the highest capacity drive fitting into a 12.1mm form factor.
The metal-top case of these drives, available in red, blue, black
and silver, is designed to resist scratches and fingerprints.
