Seagate teams with Microsoft to promote backup

Seagate announced that the company is working with Microsoft to raise awareness
on the need to safeguard valuable digital content and data. To accomplish this
task, the two companies have entered into a joint marketing agreement promoting
Windows Vista Backup and Restore and the Maxtor OneTouch III, as a combined,
simple and easy solution to help protect photos, music, business documents,
videos and more.

Activities will include web promotions, advertisements, launch events, trade
show activities and retail promotions that focus on educating people about
protecting their digital assets.

"With the rise in mobility and the increased creation and sharing of
digital content on a variety of portable and in-home devices, the need to back
up and protect content today is more important than ever," said Jim
Druckrey, Senior VP and GM-Branded Solutions, Seagate.
