Online Backup Software Company Activates Emergency Hot Site; Warns of Threats to Data Safety
Remote Backup Systems Offers a Disaster Recovery Solution for Service Providers in Threatened Areas
MEMPHIS, TN, July 15, 2009 /Security PR News/ -- Remote Backup Systems, the founders of the online backup industry and developers of the RBackup and Mercury OEM Online Backup platforms today announced the activation of its Emergency Backup Hot Site for use by its Service Providers in the path of hurricane activity this season.
Remote Backup Systems has offered this business-saving service to their licensees dating back to hurricane Hugo in 1989. This resource is available to online backup service providers in areas who are in danger of a natural disaster affecting their data center.
If an RBS Server goes offline because of a natural disaster, RBS can temporarily take backups from provider's clients at the Hot Site near Memphis, Tennessee, so the Service Provider doesn't suffer further. When the disaster is over and the providers' servers go back online, they can download the backups and resume normal business.
"We are in the business of backups. We have a plan of action in the event of everyday disasters, so catastrophic events are no different for us," explained Rob Cosgrove, CEO and founder of Remote Backup Systems. "The hope is that being prepared ahead of time will eliminate added stress during the unfortunate event of an emergency, as well as make recovery for our Service Providers as quick of a process as possible."
This year's hurricane season forecast is projected to be an active one with anywhere from nine to fourteen named storms, of which four to seven could become hurricanes, including as many as three major hurricanes. Remote Backup Systems encourages all of its Online Backup Service Providers in threatened areas to visit the company's website at www.remote-backup.com for more information on the Hot Site service, including guidelines and instructions for activation.
Built into Remote Backup Systems multi-award winning flagship product, RBackup, is an additional special feature that will enable a service provider to maintain normal business in the event of a disaster. The RBS Server Locator enables you to operate an RBS Server on an inexpensive non-dedicated Internet connection with a dynamic IP address anywhere in the world. No other RBS company offers this cutting-edge service.
In an outage of Internet service, Providers can simply move their equipment to an alternate location with Internet service, and the Server Locator will seamlessly redirect their clients within seconds to the new location.
