FOR INFORMATION STORAGE

LiveVault’s Online Backup and Recovery Service recognized as
“the most exciting and innovative new information storage product” for 2003

MARLBOROUGH, MASS. December 10, 2003—LiveVault Corporation®, the leading provider of online backup and recovery solutions for business servers, today announced that the LiveVault powered BT Datasure Online Server Backup offered by BT Group plc (NYSE: BTY), one of Europe’s leading providers of telecommunications services, has been chosen as the winner of the prestigious Information Storage Product Award at the 2003 Information Management (IM) Awards in the UK.

The IM Awards, now in its 8th successful year, is the premier UK industry recognition of excellence and innovation in the management of business information and knowledge in an e-business environment. Criteria for success include the delivery of significant and definable business benefits, as well as innovation and originality. The full list of awards can be found at http://www.elanconf.co.uk/im2003/im2003winners.php. Runners-up to BT Datasure include EMC, StorageTek and QLogic.

“It’s a tremendous honor to be recognized as the most innovative storage product of 2003. BT chose to work with LiveVault because of our tradition of excellence and this award proves it,” said Bob Cramer, CEO of LiveVault. “Our service was recognized for numerous reasons, but most importantly because it solves a real business problem: how to ensure reliable backups that deliver complete data recovery no matter what happens.”

The LiveVault Online Backup and Recovery Service™, which BT markets as BT Datasure Online Server Backup, works by automatically and continuously backing up business server data via a secure Internet connection and storing it in a secure offsite location, where it is available for immediate—and guaranteed—recovery in the event of a system failure, virus, human error, or other disaster.

The LiveVault service is designed for customers whose servers reside outside of major data centers—such as enterprise remote or branch offices, or small and mid-sized businesses—and who have primarily relied on in-house tape backups to keep their data safe. Analysts estimate nearly 50 percent of tape-based backups for these distributed servers fail to restore properly, seriously compromising the operations, and potentially the viability, of affected companies. Conversely, LiveVault's fully managed service guarantees 100 percent data recoverability.
