The company and the software were acquired by in 1995, which was in turn purchased by Computer Associates in 1996. Infinite Disk, operating in the background, automatically compresses less-active files and eventually migrates them to removable media, but the files remain visible in Windows folders and, when accessed, are fetched from the backup storage. A variant of Infinite Disk, Personal Archiver, was bundled with Iomega removable drives starting in November 1994. (en) |
