LENEXA, Kansas (January 9, 1992) -- Tallgrass Technologies Corporation
today announced shipment of its enhanced version of NetSECURE,
server-based NLM network backup solution.

About the Product

NetSECURE was designed to integrate directly into the NetWare operating
system to provide maximum performance, flexibility, and a high level of
security for the user. Centralized backup allows servers and workstations
to be accessed in both attended and unattended modes. NetSECURE takes full
advantage of the NetWare Loadable Module (NIM) capabilities to maximize
tape speed for both backup and restore. NetSECURE 4.0 supports Tallgrass'
entire line of SCSI-based storage systems, with capacities ranging from
250 MB to 2 GB.

New features of NetSECURE 4.0 include:

� Auto Pilot - A feature set that includes the following:

  � tape rotation maintains daily, weekly, monthly and
    yearly tapes, producing a complete system backup
    history.

  � disk grooming removes files not accessed during
    a specified period of time and generates a specified
    number of copies in permanent storage.

  � Quick Recover Restore allows full or partial recovery
    automatically at any specified time.

� Directory Mirroring - allows configuration to trim the directory of the
destination disk to match the source disk file structure. Files or
subdirectories found in the destination directory which do not appear in
the source directory can be deleted from the destination.

� Tape Usage Database - tracks the amount of tape usage for each individual
cartridge. A log provides information on when the tape should be replaced
or when the drive should be serviced.

� Archive Bit Backup - allows backup or archive operations to be performed
based on the status of the file's archive bit.

� Daisy Chaining - allows for the cascading of backup operations across
multiple drives.

"NetSECURE was designed to complement the Tallgrass line of high capacity,
high speed SCSI storage solutions. It fits in with our goal of
architecting solutions that are specific to the users' needs and wants,"
stated Ernest Wassmann, President and CEO of Tallgrass.

Hardware platform compatibility for NetSECURE 4.0 includes ISA and MCA bus
computers and supports operation in EISA.
