(TUCSON, AZ - Jan. 10, 1994) - Artisoft, Inc. announced today that two of
its ArtiSave Backup software products are now shipping. The first
available offering is a software-only solution compatible with industry
standard (ASPI) SCSI adapters and tape drives that is priced at $249. The
second offering is a software/hardware bundle with Mountain Network
Solutions' SideCar II parallel port tape drive that is priced at $699.

"Artisoft is pleased to be offering, for the first time, a comprehensive
series of backup products for the LANtastic network operating system,"
commented Artisoft's President and CEO William C. Keiper. "These two
products allow administrators to choose either an entry-level or a
high-end solution, depending on the extent of their network backup and
storage management needs." 

ArtiSave Backup Software Features

The ArtiSave Backup software provides LANtastic network administrators with
a comprehensive backup and recovery system for their entire network. This
software can be run directly on any Windows PC and also allows servers to
be backed up while the network is running. Features include automatic
installation, easy-to-use menus, on-line context-sensitive help screens
and automatic scheduling of backup events. The ArtiSave Backup software's
powerful Librarian feature provides easy-to-use data management features
which allow automatic tracking of archived files for easy location and
restoration. 

ArtiSave Software/SideCar II Bundle

The ArtiSave Backup software/hardware bundle with the SideCar II 305Mb
backup drive provides easy-to-install, portable network backup. The
SideCar II connects directly to the PC's parallel port without the need
for an additional interface card. In the event of data loss, the
combination of the ArtiSave Backup software and the SideCar II tape drive
provides a unique network node disaster recovery capability.

The ArtiSave Backup software is also scheduled to be available in a
software-only version that will support Mountain's TD 250 and Colorado
Memory System's Jumbo 250 backup drives and will be priced at $199.
