Customization & Branding - This feature allows you to customize and brand your Endpoint software so it looks and acts like you want it to when your customers install it. This is a very powerful function that allows you to fully brand your own RBS Endpoint software. This allows you to deliver a highly customized Online Backup solution to a wide range of customers - from those who want to completely manage their own backups to those who want a simple one-touch set-and-forget solution with few options. Add your own company name, change the name of the software, add your own graphics and icons - more than 500 customization and branding properties.

Full Support via Phone, Web, Email and IM - Remote Backup Systems has offices in Suwanee, Georgia USA. Support is available 9AM to 5PM Weekdays, and 24x7 with a service fee.

Virtualization - RBackup (both Server and Endpoints) work very well virtualized.

Small Footprint, Powerful Server - The RBackup Server is small and powerful. It can accept thousands of simultaneous connections. Here's the server using only 13,488 KB of RAM and almost no CPU.

Tight Compression and Strong Encryption - Fully compliant with HIPAA and all other global data privacy and security regulations, RBackup supports encryption standards AES-256, AES-192, AES-128, BlowFish (448 bits), TDES and DES. RBackup's lossless compression is the best in the industry, saving on average 60% of server-side disk space.

Backs up Everything - RBackup can back up and restore Files, Folders, Volumes, Drives, Hyper-V VMs, VMWare VMs, Databases, Exchange, Active Directory, SharePoint, SQL Server, and more. You can select the type of backup you want to perform.

Hyper-V and VMWare - RBackup backs up an unlimited number of VMs at no additional charge.


Hyper-V	VMWare

Full Drive Backup - RBackup can back up entire hard drives and/or volumes, storing them in the industry standard .VHD file format which can be immediately mounted by Windows for SUPER fast Disaster Recovery. You can restore an entire server in seconds. (.VHD files are stored on-site, locally.)

Active Directory - Back up and restore Windows Active Directory from Windows Servers.

Exchange Backup - Brick level backup and restore of Microsoft Exchange Servers. RBackup backs up at the sub-mailbox level.

SQL Server Backup - Incremental backup and restore of Microsoft SQL Server. Backs up multiple instances of SQL Server on the same computer.

System State Backup - Back up and restore the Windows System State.

Sharepoint Backup - Back up and restore Windows Sharepoint Servers.

Redundant Hybrid Backup - Our RHB technology goes a step beyond regular Hybrid Backup for an extra layer of security. RHB can send your end users' backups encrypted, compressed, and compliant, to three locations at the same time. RBS is the only software that offers this level of reliability.

Local and Offsite Backups - RBackup can send backups (and do restores) using local storage devices, and it can send backups offsite to the RBS Server and/or to cloud services. Local backups do not require a separate on-site server. Restores done from local storage take place at full local network speed.

Cloud Services Support - Optionally allow your end users to back up directly to a third party Cloud Backup service like Google Drive and DropBox in addition to the RBackup Server. You can also allow them to back up ONLY to a third party service. In this case the Endpoint software will authenticate to the RBS Server before allowing a backup to a Cloud service. Backups sent to a third party service are encrypted, compressed, and fully compliant - unlike normal backups to such services.

"Seed Loading" and Bulk Restore - You can perform an extra large backup using a portable hard drive instead of the Internet. This can speed up that large first full backup significantly. You can also do a restore the same way (as well as online.)

AutoSelect - AutoSelect allows end users to select files by file type rather than by file location. So, you don't have to know where a file exists to back it up. Just select from a list of files by type (i.e. "Spreadsheets" or "MS Word Documents") and they will be backed up wherever they exist, from any folder.

Server Locator Service - The RBS Server Locator Service is a built-in dynamic DNS that enables you to operate your RBS Server on an inexpensive non-dedicated Internet connection with a dynamic IP address anywhere in the world. Your RBS Server will work on your DSL, ADSL, or cable modem. Operation is completely automatic, and no setup is required. In an emergency that threatens your RBS Server, you can simply unplug your RBS Server and move it to any other Internet connection. Within seconds, your Endpoints will be automatically redirected to the new location. The Server Locator service works as long as your Maintenance Subscription is in force. Your software WILL operate without the Server Locator, although without its dynamic DNS support.

Set it and Forget it - RBackup is designed to operate automatically after it is configured and installed. The endpoint software sends backups to the Server on a schedule that you can define.The Server has a web-based management console you can use to view backup sessions and reports. It will also email you daily reports.

Secure - Backups are stored on the Server encrypted and compressed, with filenames and folder names encrypted for regulatory compliance. Encryption keys are generated by the Endpoint software or entered by the customer. Encryption keys are never sent to the Server. This is what the backed up files look like on the Server.

online backup RBX files

Files Stored Encrypted on Server - Files are stored on the Server in fully encrypted form, using an encryption key known only to the end user. It is impossible for the Server operator to decrypt and view end user files unless the end user discloses the encryption key.

Filenames Encrypted on Server - File names are stored encrypted on the Server. This prevents disclosing sensitive information to the Server operator. File names often contain sensitive information. So, even if a file is fully encrypted, its name can be a security risk, and can prevent regulatory compliance. For example, a file named "John Smith heart surgery May 13 2009.doc" is not HIPAA compliant.

No Limits - There are no limits on the number of files or on file sizes that can be backed up and restored.

Native Windows Support - RBackup runs on Windows. Currently there is no native endpoint software for Mac or Linux. RBackup will backup and restore Mac and Linux files if they are mapped to a Windows machine.

Built in Storefront Accepts Credit Cards and PayPal - Sell your Online Backup accounts online, automatically, with the built in E-Commerce Module. (Premium Packages Only) You can define Backup Plans with different prices. Customers can go to your website, sign up for an account, pay with a credit/debit card or PayPal, and start backing up immediately. RBackup manages your monthly recurring billing, too!

Multitenancy - With RBackup's Multitenancy you can recruit "resellers" who can each have a login to his own management portal, and can customize and brand his own Endpoint software.

Lowest Prices, More Features - Our advertised prices are lower than any of our competitors' for similar products. Our ongoing costs are also lower, and we give you more features. But, we all offer special prices from time to time. So, if you have received a lower quote from a competitor, send it to us and WE WILL BEAT IT!

Lowest Ongoing Cost - RBS' ongoing costs are the lowest in the industry. We charge a non-mandatory annual fee of about 15% of the purchase price to cover the cost of upgrades and live tech support. You do not have to continue to pay us, though. If you decide not to renew your maintenance plan, your software will continue to operate normally (except for the Server Locator).

No Additional Charges for Exchange Mailboxes - Most of our competitors charge an additional fee to back up each Exchange mailbox your Endpoints have. That can get very expensive, and it is difficult to keep up with. RBS charges one low price for our Exchange module, regardless how many mailboxes your Endpoints back up.

Free Emergency Backup Servers - An RBS exclusive, this free service shows how committed we are to our Partners. We encourage our competitors to offer the same service, but they won't. RBS maintains Emergency Hot Site Servers in our own data center. You can use these free of charge whenever you need them. Just log into the Partner's Portal and turn yours on. If your RBS Server goes offline, your customers will back up to your Emergency Hot Site Server.

Marketing Support from the Experts - The RBS staff have been in the business a long time, and we keep in contact with our Partners. We are experts in this business. We are more than happy to answer questions related to marketing and sales, as well as technical questions. We have put much of our knowledge into our RBS Business Kit and the many online resources available to you as an RBS Partner.

Referral Network - The Find a Service Provider links on the RBS Web Site are for people who are looking for a Remote Backup Partner instead of RBS software. They usually find our web site through our highly visible, high-ranking Search Engine listings. Rather than have those prospects leave our site and visit the next site below ours for RBS services, we will send those prospects to you through our Referral Network.

Flexibility in Development - RBS is fast and flexible. If you have a special application and need a small tweak, or a utility, or an integration problem, we are willing to help you design a solution, and in many cases we can program it for you in just a few days, sometimes at little or no cost.

Does the company own the code? - RBS is the only Online Backup software vendor who owns and controls 100% of our own code. Two of our competitors' products are made mostly of Public Domain and Open Source software tied together with scripts. Another licenses major parts of its code from other companies who earn a royalty from every sale, limiting the discounts they can offer. Because we own our own code, RBS has much more flexibility in pricing and development options than any of our competitors.

Encryption Key Generator - One button creates a statistically perfect encryption key using the currently selected encryption method.

Print Key Information - Displays and prints a form containing all information necessary for a Disaster Recovery. This customizable form should be printed and retained by the end user as a backup to the Key File and Key Escrow systems.

Create Portable Key File - Maintains a portable Key File that can be copied to a memory stick and used for Disaster Recovery and for securely accessing backup files over the web. Fully compliant with HIPAA, SOX, GLB, and other regulations.

Maintains Encryption Key History - Maintains a complete history of all encryption keys. End users may change encryption keys as often as they like for maximum security, allowing the promptless restore of all files, regardless of the key used to encrypt them at backup time.

Automatic Server Updates - When RBS issues a software update to the Server or the Endpoints or any of the PlugIns, the Server administrator is notified by a pop-up message and can select to apply the updates online.

Failsafe Server Monitor - Built in Server Monitor automatically recycles and restarts the Server within seconds if anything causes it to shut down.

Advanced Scheduling - This edition can schedule backups by day of week, day of month, calendar day, daily, on demand, and several times a day.

Configurable File Retention Policy - The Endpoint can set File Retention Policy to keep files on the server for a number of days after they have been deleted from the Endpoint computer. This can range from one day to ten years. It can also set a number of versions of files to keep, regardless of the age of the files. Files are deleted from the server as they expire, oldest first.

Keep Latest Version - An RBS exclusive, this feature keeps the most recent version of a file regardless the other file retention settings. For example, assume you have set files to purge after they are 30 days old. If you only have a single copy of a file within that time frame, and you do not select this option, that file will be erased when its age is over 30 days. If you select this option, that file will be retained regardless of its age until a more recent one appears at the Server.

Multiple Backup Sets - RBackup can maintain an unlimited number of Backup Sets. Backup Sets are groups of files with the same File Retention Policy, Backup Schedule, Backup Method, and many other options. This allows users to (for example) back up more important files more often, or to archive some files for years and not others.

Pre- and Post- Backup Command Processor - RBackup will process user-written command files before and after backup sessions. Each Backup Set can have its own individual pair of command files. Command files can perform operations like integrating the backup software with other applications, doing local backups, stopping and restarting services, sending notifications, running programs, and much more.

Data Compression - Data files are compressed on the Endpoint computer by as much as 90% before being encrypted and transmitted to the Server. This reduces the amount of bandwidth required to send backups, saves space on the Server, and ads another layer of security to the backup.

Shut Down or Log Out After Backup - This feature will optionally shut down the computer after a scheduled backup (to save energy and increase security) or log off the current user.

Automatic Plug & Play Router Configuration - When installing the RBackup Server, some configuration of its router is necessary. The installer will automatically configure Plug and Play routers. Note: No firewall or router configuration is necessary on the Endpoint side.

Unlimited Account Groups - User accounts can be grouped for more convenient management and reporting. This feature is used mostly by Partners who need to bill companies for more than one account, and/or who want to run reports and pay sales agents or affiliates for activity in accounts that belong to them.

Account Quota Control - Each user account can have a defined storage quota that triggers an Over Quota email, a message to the Server Administrator, and/or a report item.

Session Quota Control - Each user account can have a defined Session Quota to limit the amount of data that can be sent during a single backup session. This prevents individual users from monopolizing Server capacity and bandwidth with huge backups. Backups that do not finish because they exceed the Session Quota are resumed where they stopped during the next session. Partners use this feature to spread out initial full backups (which can be large) over multiple backup sessions.

Backup Time Window Control - Similar to Session Quota (above), Backup Time Window Control sets a time limit on each end user's backup session. This prevents backups that are scheduled to run when businesses are closed from exceeding the time allotted to them, so they are not still running when the business opens the next morning. Backups that do not finish because they last longer than the defined Backup Window are resumed where they stopped during the next session. Partners use this feature to spread out initial full backups (which can be large) over multiple backup sessions.

Resume Failed Backups Automatically - Backups that fail because of a lost Internet connection, a power failure, or some other interruption are automatically resumed at the point they stopped within sixty seconds without any loss of data. The software will retry the backup every sixty seconds throughout the Backup Window. If it cannot resume the backup within the time allotted by the Backup Window, it will resume during the next scheduled backup.

Move User Files En Masse - RBackup stores its files in an efficient proprietary, HIPAA-compliant archive folder structure on mapped drives. Using a Move User function, the Server Administrator can automatically move a user's files from one drive to another. Sometimes a single end user is big enough to store his data on a dedicated drive.

One-click Account Suspension - Temporarily suspend a user for non-payment with a simple checkmark. The user will receive a message on his screen.

Optionally use Windows Task Scheduler - RBackup has its own built-in backup scheduler. However, some Partners like the Windows Task Scheduler better. A simple checkbox automatically creates and activates a Windows Task on a per-Backup Set basis.

Operates on Clear Registered Ports - There is never any worry about conflicting with other applications. This software operates on "Registered Ports," which means that RBS effectively "owns" them (and has since 1993). No other software vendors will use our ports, so there will never be a conflict with other applications.

Full Backups - RBackup can be set to always perform full file backups of all selected files and folders.

Incremental Backups - Backs up only files that have been changed or added since the last backup, toggles the Archive Bit. Complies with Advanced File Selection Methods below.

Differential Backups - Backs up only files that have been changed or added since the last backup, does not toggle the Archive Bit. This is used when an Online Backup needs to integrate with a tape backup on the same computer. Complies with Advanced File Selection Methods below.

BitBackup - BitBackup is a special kind of backup that can back up and restore only the changed pieces of files. Sometimes called "Sub File Backup," BitBackup can significantly reduce the amount of storage space required at the Server, and the backup time as well - sometimes by as much as 98%. Another benefit of BitBackup is that it maintains a Local Data Store at the Endpoint-side. The Local Data Store is a complete copy of the very latest version of backed up files, stored locally, at the Endpoint's location. RBackup automatically restores from the Local Data Store if the user needs the most recent backup, which decreases restore time significantly. The Local Data Store adds another level of redundancy (a local backup as well as an Online Backup,) and allows restores even if the Endpoint cannot make a connection to the Server.

Advanced File Selection Methods - The software can be set to determine which files need to be backed up using the Archive Bit, the modified date and time as compared with the date and time of the most recent backup of each file, or RBS' proprietary FastPick method.

Automatic Adjustment for Daylight Savings Time - The software automatically detects Daylight Savings Time worldwide and adjusts the File Selection Method. Without this feature, a change in time would force a full backup of all files, or prevent a backup session.

Supports Dialup Connections - This feature activates a telephone modem and dials in to an Internet Service Provider to establish a connection for a backup session. The connection is dropped at the end of the backup session. This feature was retained for legacy purposes, and for use in hyper-secure networks with no Internet connection.

Can Operate Off-Net - This feature allows the Endpoint software to make a direct connection to the Server using telephone modems, radio links, null modem cables, and other non-network connections. It is used in areas without Internet, and when special security is required.

CPU Throttling - The Endpoint software can be set to subordinate itself to more important processes that require CPU time. The default setting is "Medium," which rarely needs to be changed.

Easy Disaster Recovery - In the event of a loss of data due to catastrophic hardware failure, the Disaster Recovery feature will automatically restore the Endpoint software's setup options and the most recent backup quickly and easily.

Virtual Full Restore - The software can automatically compile a full restore from a series of incremental backups across multiple backup sets and sessions. This feature significantly reduces or eliminates the need for periodic full backups.

Restore has Advanced Search Capabilities - The Restore interface contains advanced search features that can search across backup sets and sessions by date (before, between, after), by Backup Set, by drive and folder, and by file and folder names or parts of names, and can include wildcards.

Open Files - Back up files that are open and in use by other applications.

Delete from Server - This feature is a Endpoint-side interface that lets you search and delete files from the Server by date or file type, or by file name. It is good for cleaning out old files that don't need to be saved, speeding up backups and restores, and saving disk space on the Server. Without this feature, files are deleted from the Server according to the rules you set for File Retention Policy.

Internet and Local Network Support - RBackup will run over any TCP/IP network - local or Internet.

Server Side Restore - Restore files at the Server as well as at the Endpoint. This convenient feature is useful for assisting commercial Online Backup customers with very large restores, and for business customers to restore Endpoint data in their own data center. It can also be used to consolidate data from multiple Endpoint locations into a central data center.

User Interface - The RBackup Endpoint software can be deployed with one or both of two user interfaces. The User (simple) Interface is wizard-driven, very modern and user friendly, containing only the most commonly used functions. This is best for most end users. The RBackup Simple Interface is available in more than 20 languages and dialects.

Admin Interface - The RBackup Endpoint software can be deployed with one or both of two user interfaces. The Admin (advanced) Interface is for power users or administrators. It contains all available options in a compact, fast format. It is not suitable for inexperienced end users.


User Interface	Admin Interface

Auto Updates - The Server can automatically update its Endpoint software when Remote Backup Systems issues an update. This powerful feature lets you decide when and how to issue updates, from simply notifying Endpoints, to automatically pushing out updates that are applied silently, without user intervention. You can even send messages to Endpoints' screens.

"Seed Loading" or Copy to Disk - This feature is usually used to perform a first full backup using a USB drive, which is then available for online restore. Sometimes the first backup is very large, and because of bandwidth it is more convenient to do it using a portable hard drive or memory stick, which is then transported to the Server and simply copied. Subsequent backups are much smaller, and are done online.

EMail Notifications - The Server can send five different EMail Notifications, triggered by five events - successful backup, failed backup, partial backup, missed backup, over quota, new customer signup, and more. Each of the emails can go to multiple addresses, and can be individually configured using templates. Emails are sent as HTML, including fonts, images, and colors. Emails can also be sent to appear as plain text. Variables can be included in the body of the emails, which are replaced with data just before the email is transmitted. So, emails can contain information such as the number of files backed up, the size of backup sessions, time, percentage of quota used, and more. See the RBS Server's Documentation for more information.

Key Escrow - Endpoint data is encrypted with a key chosen by, and known only to, the end user. This key is not transmitted to the RBS Server. If the end user forgets his encryption key, and needs to restore data after a catastrophic failure that destroys his RBackup installation, it is impossible to restore the data. The Key Escrow feature can be turned on and off on a per-Endpoint basis. It transmits the encryption key to the RBS Server after it has been triple encrypted using a private key known only to Remote Backup Systems, and a key generated by the RBS Server. This allows Remote Backup Systems (and ONLY RBS) to recover the encryption key in an emergency so the data can be restored. There is a fee for key recovery, and we require affidavits signed by the end user and the Partner. Ask youself this - As a Service Provider, shouldn't I be able to restore my Endpoints' data in the worst kind of emergency? Am I leaving myself open to lawsuits if I can't? No other Online Backup software provider has this feature. On installation, Mercury users can select a "standard" key or they can enter their own. If they select the "standard" key, Key Escrow is turned on.

Mapped Drive Support - This feature allows the software to back up data from mapped drives. Without this feature, it will back up only drives directly attached to the computer it runs on.

Remote Management - This feature allows the Server Administrator to remotely change many of the settings on the Endpoint software. It is good for central administration of groups of Endpoints. See the RBS Server's Documentation for more information.

Reports - The Server can run a number of reports that can be used for billing and resource management, including Endpoint quotas, disk space usage, Endpoint sessions, and more. See the RBS Server's Documentation for more information.

Web Restore - This feature allows restoring Endpoint data from a web site, using any web browser, without the Endpoint software installed. NOTE: Some Web Restore agents are not secure - files restored via the web are sent across the Internet unencrypted and can be accessed by others in transit. All of RBS' Web Restore agents always send files fully encrypted - as safe as our backups. Files are only decrypted after they reach the Endpoint computer.

Web Manger - The Web Manager places virtually all of RBackup's server controls into an easy to use web console that can be operated from any computer. Tiered logins for Admin, Group Managers, and Users allow maximum flexibility in self-service, convenience and integration. It creates a full featured web portal for endpoints and admins that can be used by end users, administrators, and group managers to run reports, manage users, define service plans, and much more.

E-Commerce - The E-Commerce PlugIn integrates with the Web Manager for a complete end-to-end web based solution for user registration, billing, credit card processing, software deployment, and tiered management. Accept credit card payments through Authorize.net, Payflo Pro, PayPal, and manual processing.

Integrated with Windows Event Log - RBackup Endpoint and Server write to the Windows Event Log which can be monitored with any RMM software.

Mirrors Backup Data Locally - RBackup can optionally maintain a full mirror of all data backed up online to a storage device in the local environment. On restore, the software will automatically retrieve backups from the quickest source.

Maintains Local Backup + Online Backup - The software can be set to maintain a local backup at the Endpoint's site in addition to its Online Backup. The local backup can be sent to a shared network drive, an offsite drive via VPN, or any other mapped drive letter. BitBackup automatically maintains a local Data Store. In addition, the pre- and post- backup command files can be used to launch any other backup utility to perform local backups.

Free Trial Endpoints - RBackup allows you to offer free Trial Accounts, which are automatically suspended after a number of days. Trial accounts can be converted to live, paying accounts. Trial Accounts are free to you, and do not deplete your number of paid end user licenses.

Provision Endpoint Features (per Endpoint) - The very powerful Endpoint Locks feature allows the Partner to turn off many features of the Endpoint software on a per-Endpoint basis, even after the Endpoint has been deployed (using the Remote Management feature). This allows Partners to create many variations of services and plans that give end users options based on their service plan. For example, a $29/month plan might not allow a user to edit the Session Quota, the Schedule, or file selections, where a more expensive plan would.

Send Diagnostic Reports - The Server can automatically send diagnostic reports to RBS Tech Support to assist in fixing a problem. The Endpoint software can also generate a Service Pack which can be sent to the Partner or to RBS.

Stand Alone Restore Agents - The two Stand Alone Restore Agents are very small programs that can restore Endpoints' data without installing the Endpoint software. One of them restores files from a disk drive, and the other restores from the Web. Each are single .EXE files compiled by the Server, and contain all the information specific to the Server (like login, IP address or domain name, port numbers, etc) necessary to connect and restore. Users only need to enter their username and password and Encryption Key (or use their Key File) to restore data. The agents automatically uninstall and remove themselves after they have been used to restore files, making them safe for public computers.

Stealth Mode - The software can be set to perform all its operations completely silently - without any on-screen messages, windows, or sounds. This is useful when integrating with other software, or when users just don't want to be bothered with pop-up windows.

Hide Progress Screen - This feature hides the backup progress screen, but none of the other program icons or messages. This is useful when backups are scheduled to happen during times when the computer is being used for other applications and you don't want to disturb the user.

Instant Provisioning - When you need to add more Endpoint licenses to your Server, or you want to upgrade to add new featurs to your Server or your Endpoints, RBS can provision your Server and your Endpoints with the new features instantly. For example, if you want to purchase a feature that didn't come with your edition of the software, just order it online or on the phone, and your new feature or new licenses can be provisioned for you immediately. No downloads or software installation required. No visits to your Endpoints' sites.

Automatic Server Tester - RBS software has a built-in Server Tester to make sure your RBS Server is properly installed, that your Internet is good, and that your firewall and router are properly configured. When you activate the Server Tester it makes a Web Service call to a computer in the RBS data center. This Server Tester computer then does two backups and two restores to your RBS Server (from outside your network) and reports the results back to you. The Server Tester can diagnose problems with your Internet, Firewall, Router, Drive Permissions, Port settings, and more.

Seamless Integration with Other Applications - There are several features that allow the software to be integrated with other applications in order to add functionality. These are used if a Partner wants to partner with another company to provide a branded Online Backup capability within other software. This is a BIG money maker for some Partners who pre-configure the software to back up only the files used by the integrated application. An example of a partnership like this is QuickBooks' built-in online backup feature.

Supports Clustering - Built in support for Windows Clustering. Also includes its own built-in Automatic Failover and Load Balancing. Install muiltiple RBS Servers for redundancy.

Built in Automatic Failover - For maximum uptime, multiple Servers can be installed, even at geographically distant locations. The Endpoint software will automatically fail over to the next available Server if problems or loading prevent it from reaching its Home Server.

Built in Automatic Load Balancing - Servers can be set to forward Endpoint sessions to other available Servers after they reach a predetermined point of loading.

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Supported - Runs in Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) platform. A free AMI is available, making provisioning a Server in the Cloud quick and easy. It takes only about fifteen minutes to bring up a new Server in the Cloud.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI) Available Free - An Amazon AMI (Amazon Machine Image) is available free of charge, already stored in the Amazon Cloud Computing environment. It can be installed in about fifteen minutes, fully provisioning a new RBS Server.

No Complicated "SPEUs" - Easy Endpoint Licensing - Some companies that provide Online Backup software license their software using complicated techniques that make it difficult and confusing to provision new Endpoints by assigning "SPEUs" or some other unit of measurement to buy features and options. It's easy to use up these "units" and difficult to replace them. This often leaves Partners and their Endpoints without service, and effectively ties them to their vendor forever. But not RBS. Our licensing is seamless and automatic, handled completely by the Server. Licenses are automatically recycled, very easy to understand, and once you buy them, they are yours forever.

Uses Only One CAL - RBS Servers run on Windows operating systems, and require only one (1) CAL (Endpoint Access License) no matter how many Endpoints use the Server. They also come with ALL the software needed to run an Online Backup Service. There is no need to buy other software. So, while some of our competitors make a big deal out of their "multi-platform" servers, and claim they are cheaper because they don’t use up CALs, the truth is that ours doesn’t, either. It’s also true that while we are free to take full advantage of Windows’ most powerful features, our competitors have to use slow, interpreted programming languages and program to the lowest common denominator in order to support multiple platforms.

Automatic Custom Daily Reports - A Custom Reporting utility can be automatically launched by Windows Task Scheduler to produce various reports in plain text format, Excel, or HTML.

Global Exclusions - This fantastic feature allows Partners to exclude files/folders based on Wildcards and Virtual Folder exclusions, and gives more control over backup selections. These exclusions are per backup set. Files that match Backup Exclusions will not appear anywhere in the Endpoint's file selection screens, so they are not available to be backed up. Wildcards are supported, as are Virtual Folders like "My Documents, Windows System Folder, Temporary Internet, etc."

Free 30-Minute Installation - RBS Technicians will install your Server software and preconfigure your Endpoint installers by remote, FREE of charge. It takes about 30 minutes.

Endpoint Installers Digitally Signable - Windows can complain if Endpoint installers are not digitally signed, or aren't properly named, or don't automatically adjust the User Access Control (UAC) systems. This can make self-installation difficult. Digitally signing Endpoint installers lets the operating system know that the Endpoint installation package came from a reputable source, and that it hasn't been modified (by viruses or trojans) since it was compiled. RBS software can digitally sign your Endpoint installers using your own Code Signing Certificate, purchased separately from Verisign or other sources.

Local Customization Utility - RBS Server software includes all Endpoint Customization utilities and functions. So, you can continue to create customized Endpoint installers and service plans whether or not you maintain your Support Subscription with RBS. Other companiesforce you to customize your software through an online web portal that is only available if you continue to pay them annual fees.

Endpoint Installers use InstallShield - All RBS installers, even the ones that you customize and deploy, use InstallShield. InstallShield is the premier installation platform - the most widely used, and the most powerful available. It automatically handles all the complex installation requirements of the most advanced Windows platforms, including the UAC, firewalls, and antivirus.

Run Backups with Command Line Options - The software can be run with command line options that can perform many of the tasks on its menus. This is useful for highly customized backup scenarios and for integration purposes.

Multilingual - The RBackup Simple Interface is available in English, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Hungarian, French, Italian, and Swedish. Contact us to have your language added.

Bandwidth Throttling - Bandwidth usage can be throttled on a per Endpoint basis with controls on the Server and the Endpoint. This is used to limit the amount of bandwidth used by the software during backup sessions.

Synthetic Full Restores - Synthetic Restores are full restores that are built out of pieces of previous incremental and full backups already on the server without the need to re-send data to the Server. It saves a lot of time and saves space on the Server. It allows RBS software to create full restores to any point in time, and to custom design virtually any type of restoration on-the-fly of any subset or groups of subsets of full backups by date, file size, file type, backup set, drive location, file name or folder name, or any other file attribute. RBS restores are very granular, and very fast, and can be done all in a single pass without the need to restore from multiple backup sets. Synthetic Full Restores allow RBS software to do only one full backup, ever. RBS is the only Online Backup software vendor has this important feature.
