Note to our readers and users.
Although, the previous beta version of the software had Plura in it, the new version (as of june 2010) does NOT include plura or any kind of task not related to backup.
///
Plura is a very small program which is installed with the sponsored version of 77Backup.
In the sponsored version, in exchange for free backup space on our servers, you let us use a small part of your CPU time for scientific calculations. Plura is the module which does these calculations.
Plura does not, in any way, shape or form, take over your computer, or interfere with your normal computing actions. Plura kicks in when your computer is running but idle, making use of extra CPU cycles that would otherwise be wasted. When you put your computer to sleep or turn your computer off, Plura stops running. And the Plura application is a low priority application – meaning, it sits at the bottom of the food chain. If you need your computing power for other tasks, Plura waits until there is excess capacity once again.
