(Memphis, TN USA 2/22/2010) Remote Backup Systems (RBS), the founders of the online backup industry and developers of the RBackup and Mercury OEM Online Backup platforms have released a free online tool developed for Service Providers to use to estimate the storage space needed by their clients, and the time required to do a backup.
One of the problems Online Backup Service Providers have always had is the lack of a tool to estimate the storage space needed by their clients, and the time required to do a backup. The geniuses at RBS have written a tool that can estimate the size of the first full backup, the size of subsequent daily backups, and the time required to do them. It works with ALL online backup software (not just mine) and I’m giving it away FREE! Read more…
For the rest of the month of January I will be donating 10% of Remote Backup Systems’ gross sales for humanitarian relief in Haiti. The money will go to the funds listed on this page. I encourage you to donate on your own, as well.
Injured people who could be saved with medical attention may begin dying from simple injuries within days.
Haiti will need relief for many months to come. If you can, I recommend you set up a monthly recurring donation for a year.
You can donate $10 to the Red Cross directly from your mobile phone by texting “Haiti” to 90999. Your donation will be added to your phone bill.
You can also donate $5 to Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund by texting “Yele” to 501501.
Or you can select one of the following links. Thank you.

I have a competitor in my industry (Let’s call the company “Ashtray.”) who has just announced a January 1 price increase of 200% to 300% on most products. In an open letter to their customers, Ashtray also apologized for a recent software release that caused massive, repeatable data loss for many of their Service Providers, and announced that they were “pretty confident” that another new relerase should resolve at least 90% of the problems. I guess this means that they are also “pretty confident” that at least 10% of their users will still experience massive data loss.

Is Unlimited Online Backup a Scam?
by Rob Cosgrove
It must have seemed like jumping off a cliff in the dark without a safety line for the first online backup company who offered unlimited storage for a set low price. I think it was Mozy in the Summer of 2005 (I’m going to ramble a little and then come back to my point). Read more…
