Since 2006, when Remote Backup Systems launched GeeksForRelief.org, a consortium of professional remote data backup providers committed to providing free online backup services for businesses and households located in coastal communities throughout the Southeastern and Atlantic United States, RBS has encouraged the education and promotion of disaster preparation. (Memphis, TN) Remote Backup Systems, the founders of the online backup industry and developers of the RBackup and Mercury OEM Online Backup platforms today expressed a renewed focus on hurricane preparedness for businesses and computer users. On April 16, 2009, RBS announced a significant price reduction for its Cloud Computing SaaS Solution. This Virtual Hosting service allows companies to start their own branded Online Backup business in the Cloud using RBS’ software and data center without having to purchase hardware and software to operate an Online Backup service. For SMBs in hurricane susceptible areas, this alternative is a far more prudent business model than housing data onsite.

Virtual Service Providers distribute RBS’ industry leading Remote Backup Client software to their customers, who back up to RBS’ Private Cloud. VSPs maintain their own customer relationships, determine their own end-user pricing, and distribute software with their own branding. This service is available for purchase by visiting the company’s website http://remote-backup.com.Remote Backup Systems is now encouraging business owners to take advantage of the ability to host data in a secure data center away from the threat of a hurricane and protect user’s valuable data.

“We are encouraging hurricane preparedness because we have seen firsthand the cost of businesses being unprepared,” said Rob Cosgrove, founder and CEO of Remote Backup Systems. “Having a disaster recovery plan in place before a threat is the only way to ensure proper backup with a faster restore time. In the event of an evacuation, business can continue in a different building, so long as the information was protected.” Remote Backup Systems would also like to remind businesses and computer users that, while during hurricane season an emphasis is placed on protecting businesses in coastal areas, threats to data safety include lightening strikes, employee error, hardware failure and many more that continue year round.
