Symantec Corp. has unveiled a new version of Norton Online Backup. The software can now support Windows and Mac on up to five computers. These can be linked together through the same central account.  The updated version gives consumers the ability to share documents with others, to transfer files between any of their computers, and to retrieve backed up files at anytime from any Web connection, including up to 90 days of file revisions.  The Norton Online Backup service is available worldwide in 24 languages.

“What makes Norton Online Backup stand out from other online backup providers is its ease of use.  When you log into your account, backing up and restoring is simple, intuitive, and takes just a few clicks,” said Karla Aycock, Norton Online Backup customer.  “More importantly, I know I’m leaving my irreplaceable files in the hands of a brand that I trust.”

Norton Online Backup version 2.0 includes new features such as cross-platform functionality for Windows and Mac computers , emailing backed-up file via download links sent through the redesigned Web dashboard, and its 90-day file versioning saves previous versions of backed-up files for that many days so that earlier versions can be easily retrieved.
