BOSTON , Mass. and REGINA, Saskatchewan - Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE: IRM), the global leader in information protection and storage services, and SaskTel, a leading Saskatchewan communications company, today announced that SaskTel will now offer Iron Mountain's LiveVault online backup and recovery service as part of its SaskTel Server Data Backup solution. The service enables SaskTel to offer complete online data backup and recovery services for both servers and desktops in addition to its wireline, wireless, internet, entertainment and e-business solutions.

SaskTel currently offers Iron Mountain 's Connected DataProtector/PC service for desktop protection. With the addition of the LiveVault service, SaskTel now has a complete solution for all of its customers' backup needs.

"We are excited to be working closely with an industry leader such as Iron Mountain ," said SaskTel President and Chief Executive Officer Robert Watson. "As a result of local demand, our services have expanded to include companies in the financial services, legal and healthcare industries that have significant amounts of data to store. Iron Mountain 's LiveVault service is an excellent complement to our existing services and will help our customers meet their data backup needs."

Iron Mountain 's comprehensive data protection and e-records management solutions help corporations and small and mid-sized companies mitigate risk related to electronic records and information, automatically and reliably back up and recover server and PC data, meet regulatory compliance requirements, respond to litigation in real time and contain storage costs.

Iron Mountain 's LiveVault service offers the first and only solution that seamlessly couples network- and disk-based backup and recovery to create a complete and fully automated data protection solution.
