PRESS RELEASE

Safesnaps.com makes safe photo storage a snap

Digital archive service gives Linux users sense of security, easy 
access

London, England (Nov. 15, 2005) – Unix kernel veterans recently 
launched a new digital photo archive service for individuals and 
commercial clients who need to know their snapshots are secure. 
Safe Snaps (www.safesnaps.com) stores pictures, allows for easy 
retrieval by subscribers and can backup work on demand.
Off-site photo backup is the gold standard in today’s computer 
industry. Safe Snaps’ founders want to ensure all photo users the 
same level of protection without breaking the bank.
  “We started the business to fill what we perceived to be a hole 
in the market for safe, off-site and secure digital photo 
archival,” said Rod Harrison, Safe Snaps CEO. “None of the other 
companies around offer the same level of service for a remotely 
similar price.”

Founders Rod Harrison and Phil Kaye, bring a combined 35 years of 
experience and expertise in the technology sector to the new 
venture. The company formally incorporated in January 2005, with 
the service making its debut in August.

Safe Snaps differentiates itself from other photo storage 
services in several ways. First, the company charges a flat fee 
of $7.50 for an unlimited amount of storage. Next, they store, 
and allow retrieval of, the full-resolution image.

Safe Snaps’ custom-designed PhotoElephant software will 
automatically save your digital images over the Internet whenever 
you upload from your camera. No more burning CDs or choosing 
select files to copy.

“You can forget because PhotoElephant never will,” Harrison said. 
“We store every version of the file you make, so changes get 
saved as well as the original,” Harrison explained. “The backup 
is automatic, it can run hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, as well 
as on demand. That means you can't forget to back up, which is a 
very common cause of lost files.”

Safesnaps will never delete a customer’s pictures. There are no 
limits on the number of photos and the price is always the same.
