Remote Data Backups "worked perfectly" to help a client recover from a hard drive crash.

My hard drive crashed and just got my new computer. Paul Woodward of CM IT is coming in on Friday to get my back-up selections set back up and will get back on the nightly schedule.

Dan, Remote Data Backups worked perfectly and I was able to restore everything which is critical in my business. I was very thankful that I use Remote Data Backups.

— Eddy Kicker, Coldwell Banker

An RDB client who uses our service to automatically back up his system and databases finds it is very easy and saves time.

After using Remote Data Backups for more than a year, I have saved significant time in aggravation and worry over backing up my system and databases. My old method was to do a weekly manual backup of my database on CD-ROM...something I frequently forgot or put off doing.

Also, I was aware of the fact that many of my other files were unprotected and vulnerable as well. If I had a virus or other emergency, I would have lost critical business data, time, and revenues.

I'm not a technical expert on computers, so I hesitated to sign up for Remote Data Backups, worrying that I wouldn't understand it. I have to say it was one of the easiest things I've ever done online! The automatic daily backup of my entire system has saved me lots of times and has put my mind at ease about my business.

— Lee H. Self, Renaissance Executive Forums

A long-time client calls RDB "the wisest money I've ever spent!"

We've used Remote Data Backups since we bought our store almost three years ago, and it's proven to be the wisest money we've ever spent!

After having to restore all our files because of a virus, I installed RBD on my home computer also. We've since used the service to download our data files to new computers both at work and at home.

Whenever I've called with any sales or tech support questions, the response is always prompt and the staff is extremely friendly, knowledgable and, most importantly for me, patient. Disaster occured today and our main computer's hard drive failed.

After the store closed I needed to reinstall RBD on another computer so we could restore and access shared files until we can get a new computer. My anxiety level was so high that I decided to call RBD for support to keep from doing something that could make matters worse. It was late evening when I called and the phone was answered immediately by Dan Dugal himself! He walked me through the entire process and made sure everything was restored and working properly.

The peace of mind that comes from knowing our data is protected by Remote Data Backups is worth every penny of the cost, and the excellent customer service they provide is like icing on the cake!

— Gwen Sanchez, Sign-A-Rama - Garland, TX

A Sign-A-Rama franchisee appreciates our free 24/7 phone support.

I would like to let you know about a fantastic customer service experience I had with one of your employees.

I had come into my office early on a Saturday morning to work on some computer and network related issues while our store was closed. In the process I decided to check on Remote Data Backups account to verify that everything was working correctly. I discovered that the most recent backups had been incomplete. This concerned me greatly, and my first reaction was to call for assistance. It did not occur to me that it was before 7am on a Saturday until after the phone was answered, which was on the second ring. Your technician explained that he was working with another customer, and offered to call me back within ten minutes instead of placing me on hold, which I agreed to. He called back in less than five minutes.

To make a along story short, the problem turned out to be minor, and had I taken time to really look at I probably could have figured it out on my own. Regardless, your support person was gracious and helpful and a pleasure to work with. Still, while I did not catch the person’s name, I thought you should know about the outstanding job your people are doing.

I also want to affirm how much, as owners of a Sign-A-Rama franchise, my wife and appreciate your service. In a business as graphics intense and computer oriented as ours, data lose was always one of my greatest fears. I do not worry about nearly as much knowing it is being backed up nightly.

— Edd Johannemann, Sign-A-Rama

The Maid Brigade MIS director is singing our praises again after recovering an Outlook .pst file from a "fried" computer.

I walked into the office yesterday morning to find that my computer was “fried”, it wouldn’t even reboot. Our network administrator was able to restore the computer to a useful state, but horror of all horrors…my precious emails were gone!!!

We couldn’t restore from the server, my pst files on my local box were damaged, it was not a pleasant state to be in. However, THANKS to RDB, my pst files were safe and sound, I was able to retrieve and restore Outlook to its previous state.

What a relief. Great product. Thank Goodness for RDB

— Raychel Leong-Sullins, Maid Brigade - MIS Director

We saved the day for a client of one of our backup rellers.

Recently, my computer really crashed. In the course of reconstructing everything critical to my personal and professional life, Victor Marcelo, of Geeks on Call, suggested I sign up with Remote Data Back Up service. What a great idea!! For about $10 a month, my files are stored in an off-site facility. Everything I do is backed up daily and I can retrieve information easily should I ever find it necessary.

This is a terrific service. Thank you, Victor.

— Fredda Pennock, Fredda Pennock Interior Design, Inc.

A Remote Data Backups IT Partner is appreciative of the client we referred to him, and signed a service agreement for additional services. He also sees the value in our world-class infrastructure and service.

We will be installing the Remote Data Backups agent on the client you referred to us next week.

In addition, they have signed a service agreement with us so we will be providing them with IT support services for the coming year. Thank you, very much, for the lead!!

The marketing strategy most effective with me is to stress your infrastructure, technology and longevity as opposed to the other online backup services. Since I have a good solid understanding of your infrastructure I know that you are the very best value for my customers without doubt. Honestly, I can't in good conscience recommend any of the cheap consumer-level online backup services and that is what I tell my customers.

Once the customer understands the importance of the "backend" they are easily sold (and I am comfortable knowing they are getting a world class service).

— Ron Roddam, 1-800-905-GEEK

A happy Budget Blinds franchisee used Remote Data Backups to restore a critical accidentally deleted file.

Working late in the night, I mistakenly hit the wrong key and deleted a very important file associated with a quote I was to deliver to a customer the next day. I didn't panic, I just downloaded a backup the file that was made the previous day and I was back finishing up the quote in a few minutes!

— Harold Topper, Budget Blinds - franchisee

An AIA franchisee who has had to use our service on two seperate occasions. Below is an email she sent out on their owners network describing her experience and highly recommending our service to all of them. Nearly 100 AIA members are using our service.

Dear Fellow Franchisees,

I have been seeing a lot of feedback on Remote Data Backups and I wanted to share an experience that I had with them also. I have been using this service for over ½ year and I think it is a great service that is worth every penny (evidently there are over 40 AIA members who also think so).

A few months ago my Outlook suddenly became corrupted and I could not open it. As you probably know, my Outlook is one of my most important programs on my computer because it contains all my contact information.

I contacted Dan Dugal at Remote Data Backups and he walked me through the entire restore process step by step. He was able to quickly restore my Outlook to exactly the way it was the day before if corrupted. What a life saver! Had I not had Remote Data Backups and had I lost my Outlook, it would have definitely had a significant impact on my business.

I highly recommend that you check the service out for yourself. It is definitely worth your time. Their website is www.remotedatabackups.com and you can reach Dan Dugal directly at (970) 407-1490.

Sincerely,

— Nancy Minton, AIA - Ross Imprints

A first hand testimonial from a very technically knowlegable AIA franchisee who highly recommends our service to all the other AIA franchisees. We have nearly 100 happy AIA members already on board.

Greetings,

I wanted to share with you a conversation that I recently had with Dan Dugal, CEO and founder of Remote Data Backups. He is the guy I recommended that you use to backup your data last year (if you remember, he saved my tail last December when my hard drive crashed).

I became a true believer in his service when he made my new drive look EXACTLY the way the old one did before it crashed. The ability to "go back it time" and restore your system to a prior date is an incredibly convenient tool if your system suddenly crashes. What a relief it is to be able get your system back to the way it was when you are desperately trying to get a proposal or an order done.

The good news is that I am definitely not alone in singing good praises for Dan and his service. I was absolutely amazed when he showed me a list of almost 100 AIA members currently using his service (that's almost 25% of all of us) . Better yet, he showed me over a dozen first hand testimonials from other AIA members who have already had to use the service to recover from either a hard drive crash, system crashes, file corruption, etc. And he also has dozens of testimonials from dozens of other franchise organizations besides AIA, all saying the exact same thing.

They are incredible testimonials and I would highly recommend that you visit their webpage www.remotedatabackups.com and read them for yourself. You will be amazed! Every single AIA member should be using this service. Remember, hindsight is 20/20, so don't wait until you actually have something happen first.

You can't beat their price and I can vouch for Dan when I say that he really does know his stuff when it comes to technical issues and holding your hand through any recovery issues. He lives and breathes this stuff so you are in good hands (he used to own a computer repair company here in Colorado).

I highly suggest that you give him a call at (970) 407-1490 as soon as you read this. He'll walk you through the whole process in about 10 minutes and he will let you take it out for a 30-day free trial. I'm confident you will be impressed.

When it comes to your data, you have everything to lose!.

— Chris Morrissey, AIA - franchisee

An email sent on the AIA franchise partner email in response to another testimonial praising our service.

I just used the 'heal' function for my computer from remote data backups....worked like a charm! i was able to roll back to a prior date before some problems occured and it worked perfectly....! dan was very helpful and was VERY helpful...i highly endorse this service as well!

— Mike Freestone, AIA - franchisee

An Adventures In Advertising franchisee who had a first hand experience with a hard drive crash and we were there to personally save the day.

I love Remote Data Backups! I signed up for a 30 day trial and 2 weeks later my hard drive crashed. Dan Dugal spent an hour on the phone with me going over step by step what I had to do to backup my system and within a couple hours my system was restored exactly the way it was before the crash.

I greatly appreciate the awesome customer service that Dan gives, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The piece of mind, ease of use and overall cost makes this service invaluable to my business. My highest recommendation is given to Dan and Remote Data Backups.

Sincerely,

— Jamie Nicholson, AIA - Hands-On Promotions

An Adventures In Advertising franchisee who had to use our disaster prevention service to prevent disaster first hand. Our online backup service and customer service were there to save the day.

After I came back from my Summer vacation, I went back to work only to have my computer crash and loose everything. After getting talking with Dell reps in India, and finally obtaining two new hard drives (the first was defective), you walked me through the process of restoring all my data, and even helped me with software issues not relating to Remote Data Backups. Everthing was restored to the original settings and I was back in business!

Thanks Dan! I would recommend your service to any small business who wants to feel secure that the computer hardware Gods will not destroy their valuable data. Long live Remote Data Backups!

Sincerely,

— Angus L. Garfield, AIA - Action Sportswear & Promotions, Inc

A fortunate Adventures in Advertising franchisee who was able to use our online backup service to recover her lost data. An invalubale file backup service for her.

We want to take this opportunity to wholeheartedly recommend Dan Dugal of Remote Data Backups to all who maintain important computer records and databases. When we signed on with Dan’s service it was insurance for us… which we were hoping not to have to use, as is the case with all insurance programs.

Last fall we did need Dan’s safety net, however, to retrieve our customer database that crashed for whatever reason we’ll never know – and don’t even care to know! This is critical information we’ve collected over years, the very heart of our business. The thought of starting over on something like this is almost unbearable.

Fortunately, with Remote Data Backups, we were able to retrieve all the data within five minutes, so you can just imagine our relief.

While we don’t like spending time and money on dealing with insurance, good judgment tells us we must. Insure your information with Remote Data Backups. Maybe you won’t need it, but if you do, it can be a lifesaver to your business.

ETasCo

A letter of recommendation from the owner of ETasCo, a network security consulting company. Ken has been doing network security consulting for over 10 years and he highly recommends our service.

Remote Data Backups (RDB) provides a cost effective solution to small businesses’ need to secure their data assets. More than simply securing static views of corporate data, RDB regularly journals recovery points for both data and MS Windows OS. This advanced backup technique provides superior protection and reduced recovery time in the event of a virus, hardware failure or other disasters facing small businesses today.

• The cost effective nature of RDB begins immediately. Upon completing the first upload, your data is securely stored at geographically separated, mirrored “High Availability” data center sites. By avoiding the initial deployment project required by traditional backup schemes, your data is safe sooner.

• Immediate cost benefit is realized because the hundreds or thousands of capital expense dollars to purchase the traditional backup equipment are saved. The equipment expenses are just the beginning of the money trail associated with traditional backup solutions. There is the cost of media like tapes, which can cost $100 each. Now you have to spend time putting the data on the tapes, indexing contents, rotating tapes and copying tapes for off-site storage. Next, you can pay of for vaulting services and you still do not have the quality of backup that you get with RDB because your tapes are only in 1 vault and it takes time to recall those tapes before you can even begin the restore. The comparison of "service" verses "capital expense and management" clearly shows the advantage of RDB over owning backup systems.

• Security of your data is important. RDB encrypts your data and no one, including employees at the data centers, can decrypt your data. Only you have the key, therefore your sensitive corporate data will not be compromised.

• Best practice guidelines routinely recommend a quality backup like RDB for Small/Medium Enterprise (SME) companies. Further information about disaster recovery and the need for quality backups can be found in CISSP, StandingTall, CISP, GLBA, HIPAA, etc. material.

• Not only do I use RDB to secure ETasCo, but also ETasCo provides business and technical strategy advice to clients. RDB is the right solution for Windows based SME companies! Before starting ETasCo, I was the IT Infrastructure Director for GE’s North and South America Data Centers where traditional backups systems were architected and deployed. This experience leaves me comfortably recommending RDB.

• RDB is simply the quickest deployment, easiest management, highest quality, completely secure, cost effective Windows SME backup solution.

Davis Accounting

An excellent testimonial from an accountant who had to use our service to restore lost accounting data.

This backup service is truly on the cutting edge!! After only being on the service for about one week (still during the trial period), we had the need to restore a data file for an important accounting and tax client. We knew that Remote Data Backups was going to have to live up to its claim of “simple restoration” of files. We stepped to the computer, and in about twenty seconds of time (start to finish), we had accessed the file on the data backup service, and restored it back onto our server. It was so simple and direct! We were truly impressed. . .

Thank you Remote Data Backups!

We are truly “raving fans” (not just a customer) of yours. . .

— Ted Davis, Davis Accounting - CPA

Austin Martial Arts Academy

A small business owner who used our online backup serivce to save the day in just the matter of minutes.

Remote Data Backups saved the day for us!! We had just completed setting up our account with Dan Dugal from Remote Date Backups and the next day we lost vital data from our server: contracts and registration forms. Usually we would be able to retrieve these files with the use of our GoBack service from Symantec, however in this case they were completely wiped out and irretrievable...this was very strange, but then so are many of the computer disasters that happen. With the simplicity of the Remote Data Backup software we had our files back on-line within 2 minutes :)

Downloading files from remote locations using the IRoam service is great; it's a snap to use and extremely helpful when your on the road and need a file. For the price you won't find a better service anywhere, our 10 gig backup allows us to keep our entire server's profile mirrored on the Remote Data Backup's facilities, allowing us to completely restore our system the way it was before any type of disaster. I wish we had found out about this service sooner, it would have seriously saved us thousands of dollars and much wasted time and stress.

Thank you for making our jobs and lives a little easier,

— Nick Truscott, Austin Martial Arts Academy

An IT Consultant spreads the word about our "wonderful service".

Remote Data Backups has saved the day/week/month/year for one of our clients several times.  They have a finicky patient scheduling/billing system that has a tendency to become corrupt for no apparent reason every once in a while.  In the past they paid hundreds of dollars to the software developer to repair their database, often waiting up to a week for them to complete the task.  Now it's a simple matter of minutes to retrieve the most current back up of the corrupt file and they're back in business.  That gives them peace of mind - and me too!

I love your fact about the bank safe deposit boxes (not being flood-proof), I didn't know that so I'm assuming my audience doesn't either. Thanks for the info, and I will be putting in a plug for your wonderful service!

A business consultant used RDB to recover from a fatal hard drive crash.

Thanks to RDB and your guys, Connie's hard drive crash was not as devastating as it could have been. I am starting a new venture consulting and speaking to small start-up companies under the Crank-it-up.biz website. I would like to put a RDB link on the site. Can you send me a logo to link? Hope things are still going well. let's get together soon.

Eastwood Homes

An IT administrator calls us "real life savers".

Hey guys, I just wanted to say "Thanks" for your awesome product! You saved my butt!

I am the IT Administrator for a home building company. I was out of town this last Thursday and Friday and didn't find out until I came in on Monday that our on-site tape backups didn't run for some reason on Friday. Well, of course, one of the top managers called me up a bit ago saying he messed up an important file and needed the original from our Friday backup!

Luckily we also run Remote Data Backups every night, as a backup to our backups! I was able to start the service, find the file, restore it to another directory and email it to him in less than a minute!

Thanks for everything. You guys are real life savers!

— Steve Warner, Eastwood Homes - IT Administrator

Statability

A small business owner was thankful he signed up for Remote Data Backups two days before his hard drive died.

I just wanted to send you a note to tell you how happy I am with your service.

I had you on a low priority list to sign up all of last year and when the new year hit I realized I better due this and signed up on Jan 6. Two days later my computer died and I can’t even begin to think about what my life, business, and psyche would be like if I hadn’t signed up with RDB.

Thanks to you and your staff for making my data transition painless.

— Michael Wohl, Statability

An affiliate says Remote Data Backups is one of his company's "easiest and most consistent sellers".

As you are aware, Remote Data Backups has always been one our easiest and most consistent sellers. Sometimes we sell Remote Data Backups and nothing else, but recently it has lead to additional work that we never expected. There is not a better solution for safeguarding your computer against technical, human, laptop, and natural disasters than Remote Data Backups. Where else can you get this kind of protection and peace of mind for less than a dollar a day? With the 30-day free trial, it really sells itself.

I sold a 10GB Remote Data Backup package to one customer but nothing else. After calling on him for six months, I had backed off. Then, I received an e-mail from Remote Data Backups letting me know this customer had not backed up recently. I immediately called him to find out what had happened and he informed me that they were having other computer problems and were unhappy with their current computer company. We came out that day and fixed their problems; now their company is on a preventative maintenance program and is one of my largest customers. All because of Remote Data Backups. Not only is it the best backup up system on the market it helps sell other IT products and services as well.

I just want to thank you for being one of our Alliance Partners giving our company the opportunity to sell this fantastic service to our clients. They all love its ease and convenience. I am setting up one new account this week and have two more potential customers to call on this week. I look forward to our continued relationship.

— Mark Aurand, - Brandon, MS

A backup reseller says a client recovered his database 3 days into our trial.

The first client my company signed up with Remote Data Backups had all their company contacts, financials, projects and operational procedures on one computer with no backup! Three days after we put them on a backup subscription, their PC Server crashed. The result was a full recovery and a very relieved client.

As an owner of an information technology company, I see, firsthand, the value of a secure, offsite, and automated backup solution for my clients and for my own company data. The nature of computing is that hard drives fail and disasters happen. Remote Data Backups is insurance for the inevitable.”

— Gary Landgren,

Babb & Associates, CPA

A CPA client lost two hard drives in one week but was able to fully recover thanks to Remote Data Backups.

Thank you for having such a reliable service. I didn't think a person could loose two hard drives in one week, but I did. My desktop hard drive crashed while I was out of town with my laptop and that drive crashed one day later. Thankfully I had selected Remote Data Backups for my offsite backup solution. Fortunately I kept my laptop and desktop in sync, so when both drives crashed in the same week I was able to fully recover my data. Thanks again for a great service, I really strongly recommend your services to my clients.

PC After Hours

Remote Data Backups helped a reseller save data from a client's disgruntled employee incident.

Dan, A short testimony with a recent client that became a user. We installed the trial and during this period they had an issue with a disgruntled employee who was not aware of the remote backup trial going on. They destroyed some crucial data and tape before leaving. My client was able to reconstruct the damaged/lost data.

Connelly & Associates

A small business owner used our Easy System Restore feature to completely restore here computer... twice.

Last year, after I had my second hard-drive crash in a four-month period (the first being a devastating crash, coming two weeks before the most important program during my career year), I fired my technical support department (that would be me), and engaged the services of CM/IT, whose first order of business was to get me on Remote Data Backup’s service. As someone who knows from experience how important these backups are, but rarely thinks to do a manual backup, I was relieved to know this service was available.

Never did I imagine that a repeat of last year’s calamity would occur, but, eerily, two weeks prior to my client’s annual convention, my hard-drive crashed as I was responding to an e-mail. When the phrase “Memory Dump Beginning” flashed across the screen, my heart sank into my stomach.

A panicked call to CM/IT assured me that everything would be OK. My hard drive was fried, but thankfully, under warranty. Once I had a working computer in front of me, I was able to easily download the majority of my data from your system, which even replicated the desktop as it appeared before the crash. With some help from CM/IT, who reconstructed my Outlook files, I was whole one working day following the crash.

I’ve told every home-based business owner I know about both of your services. This is one business expense I am happy to pay, because I’ve already seen the results. Thank you!

— Amy Reece Connelly, Connelly & Associates - President

Allied Supply

A supply company used Remote Data Backups to successfully restore critical files.

Allied Supply has been a customer of Remote Data Backups for the past year. We backup operational data daily. I have just experienced how valuable your service can be.

Yesterday our integrated inventory management/accounting program "lost" a couple of critical files... they just dissappeared. Panicking, I quickly realized my sole option was to fall back to the prior day's data and reconstruct the current day's transactions.

I have many years of operational experience with networked systems, and have seen my share of crashes and hardware failures. Expecting a long, tedious recovery process, I set about restoring the missing data files. To my surprise the download and restoration of the missing files was completed in just over three minutes. Re-indexing and confirming the resored data took another ten, and we were back online in record time.

Your system is not only easy to set up and transparent in operation, but extremely user friendly. The recovery process was clean, quick and painless. You have a wonderful product.

— Malcolm Matthews, Allied Supply

A former client regrets cancelling and using an external drive to save a few bucks.

wish I had stayed with your company. To save money, I had a local tech company install an external backup system last November. My hard drive crashed about a month ago; the backup system failed to perform as expected (upon examination it had never been working as set up, for reasons unknown). One data recovery place wants to charge me close to $2,000 to recover the data on the old hard drive.

— Martha Hellander,

A backup reseller completely recovered from a dead laptop hard drive in just 2 hours.

RDB is one of the top products we recommed to all of our clients. For them as well as for me, it is the easiest and most effortless way to propect business and personal data against any kind of loss.

The hard drive on my laptop died this afternoon and within 2 hours I had restored my ENTIRE data directory (all 2,800 files) including Outllook on to another machine - I am 'back in business' and I don't have to worry while the laptop is being repaired

A webmaster is grateful to have recovered all her emails, bookmarks, utilities, etc. thanks to Remote Data Backups' Easy System Restore feature.

Yesterday, for some unknown reason, I lost everything I need the most from my computer - most noteably my saved emails and inboxes from outlook express, all the bookmarks, etc from my browser and a whole bunch of utilities I need daily. As a webmaster, these items are extremely important.

I performed a complete heal, and everything is back! Each and every email save, each and every bookmark. It's as if nothing happened. Remote Data Backups has more than paid for itself with that one recovery and all I can say is THANK YOU!!! If not for RDB I would have had to spend days recovering what I had lost. I can't find the words to express just how grateful I am. Thank you for creating this amazing service!

A client used Remote Data Backups to recover an important deleted file in about 2 minutes.

I inadvertently deleted a mailing list of nearly 650 names which could not be re-established via any raw data source.

After speaking to a technician from RDBU I was able to retrieve the data in about two minutes.

I bought RDBU several months ago and this is precisely the reason for doing so. That is data security!

A client liked how easy she was able to restore an accounting file using our backup software.

Several months ago our company decided to use Remote Data Backups instead of doing our own data backup. Unfortunately we had a file become corrupt on our accounting software and we had to restore out system to a prior date. We were amazed at the ease and simplicity of this task using our Remote Date Backups.

Hi Dan,

Thank goodness for Remote Data Backups! When for reason's unknown, my last "save" didn't really save a critical document, I was able to retrieve it thanks to Remote Date Backups. I really do sleep more easily knowing that human or technological mishaps are mitigated by your system.

AZ Luxury Apt. Rentals

Remote Data Backups was a life-saver for a client with 2 major data recoveries in a couple weeks.

First of all, let me say that I have had to go thru 2 recovery backups in the past couple of weeks. The first when my system crashed and I could get at no data on my existing computer. I had a back up server that had all my programs so reloading the data was quick and easy and I so appreciated Larry's help that day when I was distraught. I did order a new computer with Vista and came back to Remote Data Backups last nite.

Again, Dan was a huge help in getting all my data into my new system and even with the small wrinkles the new Vista system presented, it went very smoothly.

I can't tell you how secure a feeling it gives me to know that Remote Data Backups is there for me to store critical information for my business. I would have been crippled without it. And it impresses on me to actively look for other files I might not think about storing since once a computer crashes, it can all be gone. The cost is minimal compared to the benefits. Thank you all again.

— Janie Monnette, AZ Luxury Apt. Rentals

Metagram Press

An author recovered a transcription in 30 seconds thanks to Remote Data Backups.

For a book I'm writing, I was working with the transcript of an important interview I'd conducted. When I finished and tried to close the file, MSWord informed that the original file could not be found. I managed to close, but when I reopened, the entire transcript had vanished!

I called Remote Data Backups right away - fearing I might have to back up my complete hard drive and wondering what time and trouble that might entail. You answered the phone directly, walked me through a 30-second procedure that ended with the interview, the whole interview, and nothing but the interview restored on my own computer! I'm delighted. Retranscribing from tape would have been such a pain!

— Janet Hays, Metagram Press

A client made a full recovery in an hour and saved big $ on data recovery.

Our computer hard drive was completely cooked. We are in the commercial real estate business. We have tenant and accounting information that is updated constantly.

My IT guy said that I could have the hard drive information retrieved for about $3-$5K, if Remote Data Back ups did not work for me.

I call RDB and within an hour and a few easy steps I was back up and running. Great product, I can sleep at nite.

— John Camp, Oxford Chase Properties

RDB saved the data for a reseller's customer whose disgruntled worker flooded the office.

I had one customer who was flooded by their next door office. It seems over a weekend a disgruntled customer of the neighbor put a hose through the mail slot. My customer was flooded Monday, all their PC’s were ruined as was their server. They simply bought a new server and PC’s and were back in business by noon! They will be with RDB for a long time.

Thanks for the great product!

I just received notice Hector renewed his RDB. Let me give you a good reason why. 1/30/07 at 6am his office was broken into and computer stolen. They clipped the wires and were gone. We purchased a new computer and had it installed that day. He used RDB and was back in business by late afternoon. He will subscribe to this service for a long time.

Chaos Over, Inc

A client was truly thankful we helped her recover an important document that was accidentally deleted.

You guys just saved my butt! Actually you saved, or I should say retrieved, a fifteen page document that took me weeks to prepare. I accidentally hit the wrong button yesterday and "poof" it vanished. I was beside myself, angry and panic stricken.

It took my IT guy to suggest that I contact you guys at Remote Data Backup. I had been utilizing your "insurance policy" for years and had never had a need for it until today.

You patiently coached me and brought my creation back to the living. A million "thank you's" are owed to you. Believe me, the monies I have paid for your service over the years was one million percent justified with this one "save". Bless you,

A backup client is ecstatic that we helped her recover a critical file that disappeared after a QuickBooks upgrade.

Dear Remote Data Backups,

As a small business owner, I was recently instructed to update my old version of QuickBooks to a new version. I went on-line and even received technical support from Intuit over the phone in order to update my QB program. However, upon attempting to retrieve my QB files to run a payroll, I soon found out that my files no longer existed.

You can imagine the state of panic that quickly developed! I contacted Intuit, who very smugly told me that due to the fact that I did not have a flash-drive back-up that was most current, they simply could not help me.

In my state of panic I called you, REMOTE DATA BACKUPS - and with a very calm (very smart!) tech person named Jason, he was simply able to walk me through the entire process to retrieve my last back-up from the last automatic update. I cannot tell you how happy I was/am to have your help!

Your service is incredible and we are so fortunate to have found you! The monthly service fee is nothing compared to the peace of mind I have knowing that my data is safe and that your employees are very well trained - and speak English - and are very knowledgable in their field!

THANK YOU , THANK YOU , THANK YOU!

Jason was GREAT and I am so grateful for the service you offer! With best regards,

— Wendy Poplin, Nightscapes, Inc.

A client is glad she used RDB to protect her files from a hard drive crash.

My computer recently crashed. Thank goodness I had everything saved on Remote Data Backups!!!

I called to retrieve my files, and their staff was incredibly helpful. They were patient with me and took me through the process step by step.

I'm so glad I was proactive in getting RDB to get my files backed up. If not, I'd be a very unhappy business owner right now!!!

— Erin Murray, Medical-Legal Resources, Inc.

RDB saved critical payroll files for a company whose USB backup failed.

Another life saving moment to report to RDB.

After one of our clients upgraded their accounting software to a new version, their employee records and payroll was missing from the system! You guessed it today was payroll! The sad part is that she was backing up on a USB key that she had recently broke by hitting it with her chair as it was sticking out of her computer, the data was not retrievable.

The Good News, Remote Data Backups was there! The client didn't know that we had installed a free trial of RDB and were already backing up all their "mission critical files". We were able to retrieve every employee and payroll record because of it!

We were just going to propose a contract for dedicated IT services, I think RDB just won that for us!! Thanks again!

Remote Data Backups came to the rescue for a client with a lost hard drive.

Remote Data Backups has been an invaluable asset to our company.

We just recently lost the harddrive and had to restore all our data to a new computer.

With Remote Data Backups it was quick and easy and we were up and running as if nothing had happened in no time.

The phone support staff answered my calls personally with no wait times; and they were always courteous and helpful. Thank you!

— Michelle Klingenberg, PTL Concrete, Inc.

A franchise CEO says RDB frees up his time to do other things.

Setup was extremely easy - took maybe 20 minutes. Intelligently designed software keeps my bandwidth costs low by transferring only the files that have changed. With all this time I've saved, I am able to exercise more often. Thanks to Remote Data Backups, I've lost 30 pounds in 30 days!

— Jerrod Sessler, HomeTask - CEO

An IT consultant says our "customized data backup solution is an immensely valuable tool that my company uses daily".

As a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), I am extremely impressed with RDB and utilize them as a trusted partner. As an IT professional, information security is all-encompassing when it comes to ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our client networks.

Since companies can go out of business due to a catastrophic data loss, I am responsible for providing the best solution at the best possible price – RDB delivers! While consistency is the cornerstone of well-maintained network, disasters can and do happen. From road warriors spilling coffee on a laptop to natural disasters laying waste to an entire building, RDB has a product that fits. This ability to provide a customized data backup solution is an immensely valuable tool that my company uses daily.

Dan Dugal and his team at RDB are awesome to work with and you simply will not find a company with their level of client-friendly applications, redundant systems, competitive price structure, and 24/7 customer service!

— Tom Cornelius, TeamLogic IT

TeamLogic IT headquarters says Remote Data Backups is a vital partner for their framchise.

Remote Data Backups has been an important partner for TeamLogic IT, as our franchisees have many customers who did not have sound back up processes in place. RDB gives our franchisees a very easy and attractive option to start protecting their customers’ data right away. The product is easy to install, configure, and use. While it might not exactly be “set and forget”, it is very close to that. We like the emailed alerts when back ups are not being done, as this allows us to be proactive with our customers with their backups.

We use it internally for a number of our own machines and it works as advertised. For laptop users, it is simply peace of mind, knowing that your data is safe somewhere just in case your machine had a problem.

— Vincent Plaza, TeamLogic IT - Director of Information Technology

A business consultant recovered quickly from a computer crash with the help of Remote Data Backups.

Being responsible for confidential and crutial information for my clients makes this backup system an easy choice. I recently had a computer crash and with Dan Dugal's help was able to operate my business in a matter of hours. It's a relief knowing that everything is safe no matter what happens.

— Daniela Hops, Padgett Business Services

A Data Doctors owner uses "Remote Data Backups" as his exclusive backup solution.

We use Remote Data Backups exclusively in our own store. It has replaced our tape drive with good reason: 1) It is a "hands-off" approach that simply works. 2) Since our data is stored off-site, we are assured that our data is intact in the case of a fire, drive failure or tape failure 3) The fail-safe software will keep attempting a backup until it is successful. This is important when you have an unreliable Internet connection. No need to check the logs and manually re-run the backup.

— Brian Witowski, Data Doctors

A backup affiliate gives our service a thumbs-up.

I've been using Remote Data Backups for about a year and it's been flawless.

— Brian Witowski, Data Doctors

Action International, a business consulting franchise, replaced tape and DVD backups with RDB at its headquarters with great success, and highly recommends it to all SOHO users.

We have been using the service to backup our headquarters data servers for about a year now. The simplicity of use and it's automatic backup facility means that we never miss backing up critical files. Retrieval is simple and has saved us a number of times when very critical files were accidently deleted.

We used to use tape backups, then used DVD's but having to manually manage the process meant it was not always done, and prone to operator error. This system is the most reliable and easy backup system I've used - and almost no chance of operator error. This system is ideal for at-home users with a good internet connection. If you run a home-office, or a small office then I would strongly recommend Remote Data Backups.

— Rich Giannini, Action International - HQ

ServiceMaster HQ commends our software, service and support.

I wanted to write a few words to express our satisfaction with your product and service.

As you know we have quite a few RDB accounts here at ServiceMaster Clean and it is the backup solution that we trust with ensuring that our senior level executives will never face a catastrophic data loss.

The product is intelligent, fast and intuitive and does not require a high degree of technical skill to use properly.

A recent example of when RDB really proved it’s worth was when one of our remote users was traveling between offices and his hard-drive had a catastrophic failure. He needed access to his data and presentations urgently and could not wait to send the machine in for repair.

At our office we were able to build him a new computer, connect to his RDB account and restore all of the files.

We shipped the new computer to his destination and when he arrived it was there waiting for him with all his files intact.

The service and support we have received has also been outstanding. Remote Data Backups are always there when we need help.

We also appreciate the proactive approach that you take about ensuring that everyone’s data is being backed up.

If any of our machines have not backed up for a while we receive notifications and usually a phone call.

It’s that level of partnership that has really elevated our confidence that our data is being cared for properly.

Thanks for all you do.

— Paul O'Connor, ServiceMaster Clean - IS Operations Manager

A WSI IC says RDB can make you a hero.

I use Remote Data Backups personally to protect my business, and recommend it to all our clients. It is easy to sell, easy to install, and gives recurring income with zero effort. Besides, save a client’s data and you are their hero forever.

— Cam Clark, WSI - WSISolutionsAtWork.com

A WSI IC was won over by our reliability, security and ease of use.

Just wanted you to know I'm a very detailed guy and I try everything before I start offering products or services, there are definitely several reasons I went to your company:

1. Peace of Mind - You don't know how good it feels to be assured that no matter what happens to my laptop, I can get up and running without missing a beat.
2. Security - I looked into your encryption and having at a minimum dual mirrored facilities is important to me.
3. Ease of Use - so far everything is a breeze.

— Carlos N. Halehale, WSI - Certified Internet Consultant - Guam

A business consultant endorses RDB.

I've been using Remote Data Backups for nearly a full year and I have been very happy with their service. They have been very diligent in making sure that any backup or open file issues were resolved quickly. They have served me with patience and professionalism and the CEO Dan Dugal even followed up months after my start up to make sure everything was still OK. I feel that this service would be very valuable to all Renaissance Executive Forum Presidents.

— Robert C. Skidmore, Renaissance Executive Forums - Long Beach, CA

An Expetec franchisee sings our praises.

Dan,

I must commend you and Remote Data Backups for both an excellent product and excellent service.

The product is fills a great need, is an excellent door opener, and couldn't be any easier to sell. I do not "sell" many things to my customers, but I will pester them every time I see them to get their data backed up and remind them that the easiest way to do it is Remote Data Backup. It couldn't be easier. In fact I have at least one customer who forgot that they had a back up running to protect their data until I mentioned it to them.

The service provided by Larry and you is equally excellent. I have been extremely impressed with your willingness to work with me on different situations both technical and sales. And I don't have to wait for answers, you answer the phone and emails promptly.

I look forward to a long relationship between us.

— Dave Sobczak, Expetec

A Mr. Rooter and Rainbow International owner says Remote Dat Backups is "the most proactive vendor I have ever dealt with in my 15+ years in the corporate world."

Thanks Dan. Also, I just wanted to mention that I think RDB rocks! Your organization is the most proactive vendor I have ever dealt with in my 15+ years in the corporate world—and now as a small business owner who is forced to wear so many hats, your faultless product and exceptional customer service and communication is so appreciated!

FYI--I’m copying our Geeks on Call rep that setup your product for us… Thanks Rus! Also, I’ve emailed back to our corporate franchise office to make sure they have the software team that supports our POS system talking you up as well! Every small business needs RDB!

— Stacey S. Goertz, Mr. Rooter - Houston, TX

An email sent out to all 200+ Maid Brigade franchisees by their MIS director highly recommending our service We are a preferred vendor for Maid Brigade.

Dear Maid Brigade Franchisees,

This is a reminder to backup your data to a reliable and safe media. If you are using a removable type of backup media, is the backup taken off-site each evening and at the weekend? If not, what would happen to all your essential business information if the building burned down? Why take the risk?

Remote Data Backups is a cost effective, secure, and convenient way to automatically back up your mission critical data offsite every night. This service will perform backups automatically, every night, via your existing Internet connection to two mirrored data centers. Your data is transmitted and stored using 112-bit Triple DES Encryption and SSL technology, so that it is very secure from any unwanted access.

We have always strongly recommended that our franchisees back up their data daily and store it offsite. With an automated service like Remote Data Backups, you can be assured that this mission critical task is occurring nightly. It is also much more cost effective and reliable than manually using tape, zip, Jazz, CDRW, or DVD drives. Once the service has been set up, it typically requires no human intervention and requires no additional hardware.

We have researched this service extensively and there is a 30-day free trial period enabling you to try out the service for yourself at no risk. Not only is this a great offsite data backup service, but it also has many advanced functions built within the software that you may find useful, such as: Remote Access, Windows Heal, 10-File Sharing and Extended Archiving.

Please visit their website http://www.remotedatabackups.com for more information. They are an IFA Supplier Member and they will provide you with all information and free customer support that you will need.

Feel free to contact Daniel Dugal directly at (970) 407-1490, and he will personally walk you step by step through the entire set-up process. It only takes 15 minutes or so to set up and is pretty much hands free after that. Here are some franchisees that have either tried or subscribed to the service:

We've heard the horror stories of irretrievable, damaged, irreplaceable data……don’t let your location become a nightmare!

— Raychel Leong-Sullins, Maid Brigade - MIS Director

An IT experienced Maid Brigade franchisee who know exactly how important offsite backups are. He highly recommends our service to others.

In a previous life with HP, I was responsible for designing and implementing a design database of over 1 TB (terabyte = 1000 Gigabytes) for 150 engineers designing high end microprocessors. Backing up data was an essential part of that work.

Although backup services talk about disgruntled former employees and natural disasters, in my experience, the two most common source for data lose are hardware failure (the computer or disk drive fails), or a user error (e.g. I thought the copy was successful, so I could delete the original, then both are gone!). Then there is also the occasional database corruption. Having a backup you trust is an essential part of doing business.

Remote Data Backups offers a cost effective solution to backups. The backups are done automatically every night , so you don't have to spend the time doing it yourself. You don't have to bother buying disks, remembering to do the backup, keep the disks organized, etc. It's less expensive than doing it yourself, especially when you count the value of your time. By the way, the copies are kept in a remote location so that if in the unlikely event your office does get destroyed, you still have an intact copy.

They keep many days worth of copies so you can get back to a point in time when the data was good. This is important because sometimes the corruption or data lose happens several days before it gets detected.

Last month my laptop hard drive started making a lot of noise. I brought it back to the store where I have a service agreement and they agreed to fix it. They told me that when I got it back, it would be with almost blank. They did install Windows for me.

I logged onto Remote Data Backups and downloaded their software to start a backup. The backup ran for several hours and copied my entire hard drive. When my laptop came back repaired, it was a simple procedure to restore it to the state it was before the hard drive started acting up. I did this under the 30 day free trial period. Except for the time it took to download my data (several GBs), the process was painless and easy.

I aslo use Remote Data backups for my desktop computer where my main database is stored.

I recommend the services of Remote Data Backups. It is a most worthwhile insurance program for anyone's small business.

— Mark Turner, Maid Brigade - franchisee, Fort Collins, CO

A testimonial from a Handyman Connection franchisee who actually ran a sucessful restoration. We are a preferred vendor for Handyman Connection.

Dan,

The service you provided for data backup and recovery is definitely needed by all Handyman Connection Franchisee Owners. It is easy to setup and maintain. Being an ex-technology business owner, every business needs to have a plan for theft, fire, or hardware failure of there computers including servers. Since I ran through the actual recover system with you, I was back up and running in about 1 hour.

I no longer need to remove tapes offsite or worry that the tapes will work. In fact, I am sure some owners do not even backup the programs and data! Your system runs an unattended schedule that backs up the entire Server including the Operating System. For the $29 fee per month it is worth the insurance!

I can now focus on running the business!

Thanks.

Geeks On Call Franchisees

Before I move on to my next job, I wanted to share with you all my final thoughts about Remote Data Backups, the service we introduced to you a few months ago. I would highly recommend that each and every one of you spend 10-15 minutes to look over their new website www.remotedatabackups.com. It is well worth your time.

I have been talking with the CEO, Dan Dugal, for over a year and I have tested his service out myself for nearly ½ year. It does exactly what it says it does and it is something that many of your clients really need to know about. It literally takes all the variables out of their daily backups.

Most importantly, it is definitely a great "cover your tail" tool because, if your client is using Remote Data Backups while you're fixing their computer, you could then easily "roll back the clock of time" for either just the operating system or the entire computer to correct any unexpected errors that plague you while your onsite. You know as well as I that it happens all the time and their Heal function works like a charm. You really should check it out.

These guys do business with over three dozen very large franchise organizations and they are extremely reputable. They are very active with the International Franchise Association and the IFA even runs their service on their HQ servers. Walter Ewell has met Dan personally at multiple IFA Expos and he also thinks that it is an excellent service for both you and your clients.

Take it for what it is worth, but if you are in the computer repair business, you really should look at their new website www.remotedatabackups.com. If you have any additional questions, Dan Dugal’s direct line is (970) 407-1490.

I enjoyed working with all of you. Take care.

A Geeks on Call owner says RDB is "cost effective, secure and reliable" offsite backup solution.

Geeks on Call has a strategic partnership with RDB and has found that their service is a cost effective, secure and reliable way for our customers to automatically back up their mission critical data files offsite every night, for as little as $9.95 per month.

A lot of our business in the wake of Katrina and Rita has been to help customers develop a backup and disaster recovery plan. There are so many solutions out there now, both offsite and onsite -- from thumb-sized USB drives now available up to a GB or more, to "one button" backup systems involving an external hard drive. It is amazing how many small businesses and residential customers don't have a clue about this.

Even their most critical backup data is kept in desk drawers, bank safety deposit boxes, filing cabinets, or other locations that are not actually secure from flooding.

Also, your co-branded portal and administrative reports, etc., are robust and impressive.

— Houghton Hutcheson, 1-800-905-GEEK - Houston

A Geeks on Call owner says Remote Data Backups "makes us look good".

I have been involved with Geeks on Call since February 2004. I personally have worked on Magnetic Tape Drive systems using three or four different Tape Formats and Technology Platforms. I have used a wide array of software to manage these tape libraries.

We found that all of these investments were a complete waste of money. Somebody would always forget to “take the tapes home” and we always had cryptic errors that we never could resolve even with level 3 engineers!

Remote Data Backups allows you to throw all the tapes away! I have been working on Computers professionally since 1995 and tinkered around with my 1st computer when I was 8 years old. I am CompTIA Certified (1999) I have been through Microsoft Preparation Courses and the Cisco Networking Academy. I have Checkpoint Firewall Training and have never seen a better backup solution in 10 years!

We have several customers using this solution and they are pleased that nobody has to burn CD’s every day and the main advantage is that it is 100 percent hands free!

This Remote Data Backups Solution makes us look good!

We suggest that every customer at home and at work use this for offsite, secure and easy to manage backups 365 days a year.

— Dalton M. Vaughan, 1-800-905-GEEK - Fort Collins, CO

A Geeks on Call franchisee made a big commission check after recommending one large client.

Geeks on Call owners love our product and support.

I have been very impressed with Remote Data Backups product and support. My clients have been very pleased with the simplicity of use, and all are extremely happy with the product.

The 30 day trial provides peace of mind for the customer to see how well it works prior to their purchase. The software is intuitive to set-up and the recovery process is quick and easy.

I highly recommend this product.

1-800-905-GEEK HQ calls RDB "a must."

A Geek franchisee recommends our "no-brainer" offsite backup solution to his clients.

Remote Data Backups ensures that my clients sleep better at night knowing that their crucial files are safely stored off-site. This service has been especially valuable for one of my clients who recently had their backup tapes stolen from a locked server closet. For a no-brainer backup solution, I would recommend Remote Data Backups to anyone who needs a safe and reliable backup solution.

A first hand testimonial by a Dream Maker Bath and Kitchen Franchisee (part of The Dwyer Group) named Mark Lambert who used our 10-File Versioning to restore his corrupted Quickbooks database. We are a preferred vendor for The Dwyer Group.

Dear Fellow Franchisee,

I wanted to share my experiences with you about a service called Remote Data Backups

This is absolutely a great service! We were doing the old ZIP backups almost every day. It only took three disks and 20 minutes of computer/staff time. After installing Remote Data Backups on our system we have only to check the system once a week to make sure RDB is doing its job every day.

I've recently I had a restore issue with my QuickBooks file that really gave me a scare when I couldn't open the company file. QuickBooks support told me my main file was corrupted and there was nothing that they could do.

I called Remote Data Backups late on a Friday night and they walked me through the restore process and it was up and running exactly the way it was from my last backup. WHAT A LIFE SAVER!!!

RDB has given us "Data Back-up Peace of Mind" for under $30.00 a month.

Thanks RDB

An email sent from a fellow Budget Blind franchisee to all the other 300+ franchisees recommending our service. We are a preferred vendor for Budget Blinds.

Budget Blinds Franchisees,

I am so glad that we signed up with Remote Data Backups. Backing up daily can be such a pain and our data base is so large it can take a while (on Quickbooks). We don't have to do a thing; it automatically backs itself up daily.

ALSO, with all of the viruses and worms attacking computers, it really takes the fear out of losing not only our Quickbooks program but also, our whole computer system. They back up your whole system (whole system back up is $29.95 per mos. and smaller back up is $19.95 per month) so even if a virus attacks your system, your computer burns to the ground, whatever, your whole system is completely backed up and can be re-entered on your existing computer or on a new computer (from the day before the virus attack).

Anyway, it sure gives us peace of mind. Hope we never have to use it but sure glad we have it. If anyone else is interested, just call Dan at 970-407-1490 or visit their website at www.remotedatabackups.com.

— Loree Brazil, Budget Blinds - Katy, TX

A very lucky Adventures In Advertising franchisee who signed up for our 30-day free trail and before the trial was even over, his hard drive crashed. All he had to do is get another hard drive and we were able to get it to look exactly like it did before it crashed. A very happy camper. We have nearly 100 AIA franchisees already on board.

To all owners,

I want to share my highest praise for Dan Dugal and Remote Data Backups. This is a must service for all owners. I finally signed up 3 weeks ago (30 day trial) after reading the great recommendations the last few months from others. This past Monday my hard drive crashed. How easy it was to restore my computer to the exact way it was before the crash. Dan not only talked me thru the process step by step, his computer expertise also helped me fix some other issues not related to Remote Data Backups. This is the best customer service I have ever received. The process is easy, inexpensive and will save you time when you have a systems crash like I did.

I highly recommend their service. Call Dan Dugal at 970-407-1490 or check out www.remotedatabackups.com, to sign up for the 30 day free trail. Needless to say this is an invaluable service to my business which I will not do without.

Thanks for your time,

An email sent out on the Adventures In Advertising owners network describing how our service can easily transfer data from one computer to another and how it gives her peace of mind.

Subject: Re: New Computer

Call Dan Dugal at Remote Data BackUps....get a Free 30 day trial and he'll have your "entire" computer backed up on his server...and then when you get the new one set up , just call him to help you download the entire backup to your new machine. I've done this many times and works like a charm...His number is 970-407-1490. (website: www.remotedatabackups.com ~you can just go there now and download the Free 30 day trial which is pretty self explanatory).

Good Luck,

Deb

P.S. You'll probably want to keep the subscription for only about $30.00/month..so if you have any issues later on, you'll NEVER lose any info!

An Adventures In Advertising franchisee who lost her Outlook Express and she was able to restore it with just a few clicks of the mouse. A very happy person who highly recommends our service. We have nearly 100 happy AIA franchisees already on board.

Hi All..

Remote Data Backups saved me again!

If you have any issues with backups...lost data...not backing up ALL your computer info regularly you need to speak with Dan Dugal.. He is available 24/7....I don't think the guy sleeps! Every time I have called for his assistance he has answered the phone and walked me through everything.

I had trouble with my Outlook Express program...while trying to fix it, did something that totally erased all email data including the address book. This is data that most people probably don't even think about backing up daily. All I had to do was call Dan and we did a few mouse clicks and I was back in time with all my data recovered. A true time and life saver for me!

Can't say enough about the service I have rec'd from this company. Working with Dan is truly a pleasure.

This may not be for all owners...but if you're like me and do not want to have to think about back ups or losing data...then give him a call.

Dan's number is 970-407-1490...and I'm sure he'll answer the call personally!

Deb

P.S. Another great feature...just bought a new computer...all info was saved the day before installing it, and then we just transferred all my data from their servers onto the new machine!

An excellent testimonial on the advantages of our Account Sharing features.

Dear Dan,

Your Remote Data Backups service is so easy to use and has already been helpful with a problem we had on one of our computers. However, it is not just an awesome tool for backing up our files. It is also a great way to share files between the computers running Remote Data Backups. We use this feature of Remote Data Backups to share art files and other large files between our corporate office in Maryland with our administrative office in Illinois. This sure is easier than sending these files as e-mail attachments. Thanks for your great service Dan!

An Adventures In Advertising franchisee who recieved top notch customer service on New Year's Eve.

I'm relieved, on a daily basis, to know that my data has been backed up and is retrievable whenever necessary.

Having gone through a crash without your data backup service I can say that having it now contributes greatly to my mental health rehabilitation!

I also will not forget all the time you spent with me -on New Years Eve- helping to effect a difficult transfer of files to my new computer.

An AIA owner says RDB is "one of the best investments."

Saved my butt a couple of times. Very patient & competent. One of the best investments you'll make.

— Stephen Gelrod, Adventures in Advertising

A long-time AIA client recovered her server using RDB.

I just want to recommend Dan at Remote Data back up to everyone. I can not say enough good things about the service he provides.

He has a Remote data back up service that we have been using for years now.

His service has saved me tons of time, worry and lost data in the past. I definitely sleep better knowing that all our very important data is backed up up daily.

And that should our server go down, we can - in less than an hour be back up and running. Assuming you fixed your hardware problem first.

I have used tape back ups prior to this and had several nightmare situations where our data was partially lost, the tape back up stopped working and we didn't know it etc.

This past weekend I though we lost our server. Thank goodness we did get it back up and running. If we didn't I know we could have retrieved our data in a very short period of time.

A critical QuickBooks restore convinced this client how easy and intuitive our backup service is.

Well the backup system works. Had a problem with my Quickbooks file (the 2nd most critical file in my business) and was able to restore last nights backup without any problem and, surprisingly enough, with an interface that actually was easy and intuitive.

An IT Consultant says RDB is great protection against hardware failures as well as natural disasters.

Remote Data Backups is the best product for our business as well as our clients. We use the product for our business and encourage all of our clients to use it as well. Several of our clients are glad that they used the product when they experienced hardware failures. Our clients that are using it currently are well protected with the hurricane Rita approaching. This is so much better than any other hardware solution.

— Camille Hamilton, - Spring, TX

A computer consulting affiliate from southern Missisipppi expresses the many benefits he's derived from offering Remote Data Backups to his clients.

In light of Hurricane Katrina and Rita, we have really seen an increase in interest and sales of your product, Remote Data Backups. As you are aware, it has always been one our easiest and most consistent sellers. There is not a better solution for safeguarding your computer against technical, human, laptop, and natural disasters than Remote Data Backups. Where else can you get this kind of protection and peace of mind for less than a dollar a day? With the 30-day free trial, it really sells itself.

With so many stories of businesses that did not back up their data or store their data offsite and now have lost everything due to the hurricane and flooding has opened the eyes of many other businesses to make sure they get their data backed up so it does not happen to them. Most of these businesses that lost their data will go out of business and those that can recover their damaged or flooded hard drives will pay thousands of dollars and loose weeks of time to get their data recovered. We tell our clients with Remote Data Backups they can recover their data 24/7 from any computer with an Internet connection in hours not days or weeks and for no additional cost. It is all part of the monthly fee.

I just want to thank you for being one of our Alliance Partners giving our company the opportunity to sell this fantastic service to our clients. They all love its ease and convenience. I am setting up two new accounts this week and have two more potential customers to call on this week. I look forward to our continued relationship.

A backup reseller in Australia says Remote Data Backups has saved clients countless times from accidental deletion and disgruntled employees.

I have been using the software for almost a year now and I can’t tell you the number of times it has saved my clients from accidental deletion to disgruntled employees.

The First National Network

A backup reseller uses RDB as a "door opener."

Last month we found a client who is paying about three times as much, for less backup capacity, and without the convenience of Remote Data Backups. As an affiliate, I feel good about using RDB as a door opener. Everyone is interested in off-site backup. It has helped us sell other products and services.

Many thanks. By the way I don’t know how I got along without RDB software in the past!

— Gus Brunston, The First National Network

A backup reseller gives Remote Data Backups a ringing endorsement.

Remote Data Backups is THE SOLUTION for our clients. It is easy to install and monitor and it provides peace of mind.

One of our clients, a management consulting firm, recently experienced a hard drive failure. With Remote Data Backups (we installed last year) at our finger tips, we were able to rescue the client – immediately. Thank you Remote Data Backups!

— Michael Kraft, - Framingham, MA

Impact Communications

A new client likes our personal approach to customer service.

Thanks for your note. I've only been using your service for 48 hours and already I know I've selected the right company to back up my data. The fact that a live human picks up the phone within a couple of rings, is polite, friendly and knows what he's talking about speaks volumes about your tech support and corporate culture. In this age of endless robotic voicemail branching, human contact really stands out for all the right reasons.

The reason I came to you was AOL outsourced its backup service to XDrive, where tech support and customer service are oxymorons. No one answers the phone and no one returns calls after you're asked to leave a voicemail message.

Keep up the great work and I'll keep sending you customers!

With best wishes for your continued success.

— Jon Rosen, Impact Communications

GLS Networks

An affiliate testifies to the value of our online backup service.

Today we are so dependent on our computer data. We tend to take for granted that our data will always be there when we need it.

This common mistake happens way to often. In 7 of 10 businesses we talked to, they don't backup their data at all. Those that do were using a tape or CD type system.

I was one of those that used tape backups. Three (3) years ago I needed to restore some files that were accidently deleted from our server. The tape then reported CRC read errors and all the data on the tape was NOT accessable. This happened twice in 6 months. It was then I went looking for a better system.

I have been backing up our data offsite now for 3 years. I have restored files many times and it's easy and always works. Even better, I don't have to mess with changing tapes or trying to figure out why a backup didn't run correctly. With our offsite backup program is fully automatic.

— John Potts, GLS Networks

Accountable Management

A client with multiple locations likes our backup service.

We are loving our RDB!!

— Virginia Harrington, Accountable Management

A backup partner is happy we saved data for a medical client who switched from another reomote backup company that didn't work.

Hi Remote Data Backups.

Your service saved a few of our client already from hours and hours of data entry. We had a medical server crash for a doctor here in Lethbridge.

They were on a remote backup plan from another company that had not worked correctly for many many months.

If it was not for the free 30 day trial that had been installed on the clients server at the time of service the office would have lost every single patient record, prescription and history note on every client!

All as we can say is THANK YOU!!

— Josh Wilmoth, - CompuFirm

— Paul O'Connor, Furniture Medic - IS Operations Manager

A Lawn Doctor franchisee was impressed with a data retrieval and the dependability of our backup service.

— Tom Cornelius, TeamLogic IT

Several years ago I met a gentleman at a seminar I was attending named Dan Dugal. Dan is the CEO of a company entitled Remote Data Backups, Inc.

In turn, I have recommended him to several of our franchise owners that were looking for this type of service.

I am copying him on this email and including his URL for you to check out. I think you will be VERY impressed at his clientele & I am sure he will be happy to share with you any Padgett Office Owners that are using their fantastic system.

A business coach is relieved to know Remote Data Backups automatically keeps her valuable data safe.

As a business coach the data on my computer is my lifeline to past, present, and future clients. Like most busy professionals I rarely take the time to manually back up this mission critical information. Owning a business that values systems, I struggled with a way to ensure this process was performed with systematic consistency. Enter…Remote Data Backup! Now I don’t have to think, or act, or even write a procedure. Your program is automatic and behind the scenes. Now I can work ON my business without having to worry about who IN my business is protecting my valuable data.

When water accidentally spilled on my laptop, I was concerned for the hardware but was relieved to know that if it needed replacing, my data was safe. What a great service! Thank you.

A Service Master executive endorses Remote Data Backups to protect franchisees from data loss as it "makes good business sense".

Remote Data Backups is an invaluable tool for having peace of mind knowing your data is backed up and recoverable at a moment's notice. You never really see the value of this package until you have to use it to get your data back. While you hope that that will never be the case, having it there for your employees and for your business makes good business sense.

With the number of employees we have that work remotely, we rely on RDB to keep them protected from data loss that can happen because of hard drive crashes, virus attacks, and other unwelcome computer catastrophes.

— Mark Tucker, ServiceMaster

ServiceMaster headquarters likes the tools, support and service we provide our franchise partners.

— Donald Dickerson, Computer Troubleshooters

Another computer repair technician appreciates our offer to print custom brochures.

— Susan Schrank, WSI Internet Consultants

A WSI Internet Consultant finds RDB an easy sell to his clients.

Remote Data backups is easy to sell. With the hurricanes, many business are realizing that tape backup just will not cut it. Installing is simple and the profit margin on billing the customer as part of your monthly maintenance fee is very good. RDB is a great partner, with excellent support help.

— Richard Garrison, WSI Internet Consultant - Frederick, MD

A WSI Consultant alerts his colleagues to the importance of protecting their data offsite, and presents the perfect solution.

The recent devastation caused by the hurricanes has brought to light the ever-present NEED TO ENSURE THAT CRITICAL DATA IS BACKED-UP.

In our world of near-instantaneous communications, our business lives are critically dependant on our accurate and up-to-the-moment data. Think of how much valuable time and transactions you will lose if you experience a loss of your critical data. Is your data backed-up right now?

Several banks in the gulf area had experienced flooding of safe-deposit boxes and the loss of critical data stored within them. Many had stored critical data back-ups within those boxes, and many it has been learned were NOT waterproof.

GUARD AGAINST the loss of your data. We urge you to look at your preparedness now. You can view our powerful ONLINE DATA BACKUP solutions by pointing your browser at http://www.rdbup.com/partner/why/risks.cfm.

— Marc Ruggeri, WSI - Sterling, VA

A WSI owner believes RDB is a valuable service to offer his clients, and an easy sell.

I have found Remote Data Backup to be extremely easy to set up, and the fact that they offer a 30 day free trial has made it very easy to sell. It is a great product offering that allows me to get my "foot in the door" to discuss other WSI offerings, and solidify my reputation as an Internet Consultant, not just the local "web site guy".

I've been using Remote Data Backup as a talking point in several of my BNI meetings, and have found loss of data to be a recurring frustration for many people. When they see the pricing and hear about how it works, they are eager to start the trial.

The easiest people to work with so far have been doctors and attorneys, as they immediately see the need for reliable, "set it and forget it", and secure data backup and recovery for their offices.

— Bob Peterson, WSI - Edmond, OK

A WSI Internet Consultant says RDB helps solve a common issue for clients: data protection.

People in my BNI chapter are always asking about backup - AFTER they lose data and whole ton of work. Now that we have access Remote Data Backups in the WSI toolkit, I just send them to my affiliate account, have them solve their own problem, and make money doing it.

I've been around IT a long time, so I checked out the service for myself first. It was really very intuitive to setup and gave me great feedback on a daily basis so I knew my data was secure.

This service is a nice addition to my solutions capability

— Gary Levine, WSI - JREGonline, McLean VA

A WSI Internet Consultant finds both the software and our Affiliate Program easy and in demand.

I was impressed with how easy it was to get started with both the affiliate program and the product itself. WSI Internet Consultants love working with partners who make it painless. A robust backup program is so important, yet so often ignored. We enhance the value we provide to our clients by directing them to your services.

— Cary Bradley, WSI - Internet Business Consultant

A WSI Consultant says RDB is easy to sell and manage.

Remote Data Backups has proven to be an excellent partner for my business. Every client needs a data backup solution and I’ve found nothing easier to implement than Remote Data Backups.

I or the client will set it up in a few minutes and then it just runs by itself everyday without any further maintenance. Since all data are encrypted, client should have no concerns about privacy.

Moreover, if there is any problem, RDB’s proactive customer support will notify you – probably before you even know about it! Every time I’ve had a question, I’ve been able to reach a knowledgeable and competent support person within seconds. Because it fits most clients’ requirements and is so easy to sell and manage, I intend to offer RDB as a standard service to all of my clients.

— Eric Reichenberg, WSI Web Dimensions

A WSI Consultant is glad to know her data is safe with RDB.

I have been working with Remote Data Backups for quite a while now. It gives me complete peace of mind to know my critical business information in a secure location away from my actual office. This is especially important to me since my office is in heart of earthquake country.

All the staff at Remote Data Backups are knowledgeable and helpful and most of all available by phone or email any time I need them.

— Lynne Ashcraft, WSI Magic Web

A WSI backup reseller says RDB is a great conversation starter.

Remote Data Backup, has become my “master key” conversation starter and door opener. Before August 29, 2005 more than eighty percent of the people I talked to in South Louisiana believed their computer data or information was safe and secure … Today everyone knows better.

— Darrell W. Moore, WSI

A new backup reseller is excited about the potential of reselling our service.

I just started recommending Remote Data Backups to my clients and already have one client interested. They have evaluated other offerings but found them to be too complicated for their end users to navigate. Currently they are using the 30-Day free evaluation and so far this is exactly what they are looking for.

After 8 years of working in Small Business network infrastructure support I know first hand the real cost that data loss creates. The unreliability of tape backups (approximately 50% of tape backups fail) builds a false sense of security which can be catastrophic when the failed backup is your only source of data recovery. I evaluated a similar offering from a large computer vendor but their solution cost approximately 4 times yours for less data storage and less flexibility.

— David Nixon, WSI

A backup reseller says its a great revenue source and opportunity to get new clients.

Thanks for providing this great recurring revenue source!! It also is a great way to get your foot in the door with new clients.

— Gail Nataupsky, WSI

A WSI backup reseller is glad to have automated backups in his arsenal of services.

I downloaded your software for my personal business use last week. I was up and running in less than a half hour and I know that I’m now protected daily. Best of all, I’m saving at least 30 minutes a week that I was spending on managing this critical task. Now it one less thing I have to worry about. I’m looking forward to sharing the good news with my clients as well.

Thanks again for all your help!

— Doug Fowler, WSI

A backup reseller, who has "lost a lot of data in the past," now has now worries.

I would recommend you services to any or all of my clients. I use your product and and happy to say that I am VERY impressed, as I have lost a lot of data in the past! Now I have no worries!!

— Craig Hansen, Expetec

A backup partner's client, who regrettably did not have RDB, had all their computers and backup equipment stolen.

I recently had a client that was robbed and all their pc’s and their backup equipment, that was local only, was stolen. If I had convinced them to get RDB then they would be back up already.

Rest assured that this will never happen to one my clients again without them being prepared.

Dave Masterson, the main IT person for franchise support for both Sign A Rama and Embroid Me, recommended the service to franchisees in their corporate newsletter.

SIGN*A*RAMA would like to introduce to you an offsite data protection service called Remote Data Backups that we have been testing for all our franchisees.

Remote Data Backups is a cost effective, secure, and convenient way to automatically back up your mission critical data offsite every night. This service will perform backups automatically, every night, via your existing Internet connection to two mirrored data centers. Your data is transmitted and stored using 112-bit Triple DES Encryption and SSL technology, so that it is very secure from any unwanted access.

We have always strongly recommended that our franchisees back up their data daily and store it offsite. With an automated service like Remote Data Backups, you can be assured that this mission critical task is occurring nightly. It is also much more cost effective and reliable than manually using tape, zip, Jazz, CDRW, or DVD drives. Once the service has been set up, it typically requires no human intervention and requires no additional hardware.

We are researching this service ourselves and to date it has performed flawlessly in backing up our data. There is a 30-day free trial period enabling you to try out the service for yourself at no risk. Not only is this a great offsite data backup service, but it also has many advanced functions built within the software that you may find useful, such as: Remote Access, Windows Heal, 10-File Sharing and Extended Archiving.

We believe that Remote Data Backups is an effective and reliable tool when it comes to protecting your data. Please review the documentation provided to you, or visit their website www.remotedatabackups.com for more information. They are an International Franchise Association (IFA) Supplier Member and they will provide you with all information and free customer support that you will need.

Feel free to contact Daniel Dugal directly at (970) 407-1490, or email him, and he will personally walk you step by step through the entire set-up process. It only takes 15 minutes or so to set up and is pretty much hands free after that. Once you see first hand how it works, we are confident that you will be impressed with it.

— Dave Masterson, Sign-A-Rama - MIS Director

We helped a new Sign-A-Rama franchisee get up and running to keep her her system protected from data disasters.

Remote Data Backup has been available and helpful getting my system to backup on a nightly basis. They sent an email to me to remind me it was time to go to the website and download the backup system.

A follow up phone call to them and they walked me through the procedure.

Now I am up and running. As a new owner, I am assured that the first will not have to be relived. If you're new, you know what I mean and if your a more expercienced owner, I am sure you rememeber.

— Karen Hubbard, Sign-A-Rama - Saugus, MA

Remote Data Backups helped a Sign-A-Rama owner restore his data after his hard drive got completely reformatted.

A life saver. We wound up reformatting our hard drive after faulty information from a major computer manufacturer. Remote Data Backups had us up and running overnight. We were able to save all of our client files. Thank you so much.

— John Reggio, Sign-A-Rama

A long recovery process from a virus just weeks before made the Remote Data Backups service an easy and valuable purchase for a Rainbow Franchisee.

Dan,

I wanted say thanks for the call. Your timing could not have been better when you called about your remote data back up service. I remember when you called, I didn't even let you finish your sales pitch. I just said how much? I knew the value of your service before ever using it.

Just a week or two before you called I had a virus attacked my server and one of my work stations. Of course this was nothing new. I figured it would be the same old routine, go to Symantec down load a cleaner and then a Microsoft a fix. Not this time.

Symantec's web site said the virus I had was not a wide spread or very harmful to my machine and only know to affect less that 100 machines that they know of. Lucky me. They had the fix but the problem was the virus had a script that would not allow Symantec to start up. Well after some very long hours and pain staking back ups I completed a manual virus clean.

Typically I would not have went through the hours of time involved in dealing with a virus like that. My common procedure is, if it is going to take more than a few hours, wipe the hard drive and start over. Unfortunately with this virus working in the back ground, my server was at a crawl and would not allow data through my network connections like it should have.

During the hours of sitting and thinking during the repair process I could not help thinking, I have known for a long time I need a off site data back up service, if I had only had an off site back up service. If I would had your service at that time I could have had my server wiped and up and running again just like before within a few hours.

I did have the experience to utilize your service for real the other day. I was trying to synch a Palm and it doubled my contact data base. I immediately thought time to try Dan's service out. This would give me a opportunity to try it with a real need but not in a devastating situation.

I have never really looked through the program to see how it works. I have only monitored the back up log from time to time. I have to say I was amazed at how intuitive it is. I think anyone can figure it out within a few minutes.

I transferred my entire data base folder content that I messed up to my desk top, just in case something went wrong I would still have the original to work with. I then selected the folder of my contact data in which I wanted to restore in your software program, 10 minutes later, everything was back to normal.

It could not have been any easier. Your program works great and the price is right.

All I can say to everyone who is not using your service, you will understand the value someday. It is cheap insurance.

Thanks again.

A happy PostNet franchisee who is extremely happy with our online backup serivce and excellent customer support.

The service and assistance in set up was great. It was easy to set up online and being helped on the phone, it only took about 10 minutes and all done!

Follow up has been very responsive and professional. Now I know that if we have a data crash, we're OK because of REGULAR and DAILY backups that are done AUTOMATICALLY (I hope I never need them!)

— John Francis, PostNet - Area Franchisee for MN & WI

A satisfied PostNet franchisee who recommends our online backup service to everyone.

No one ever thinks their hardware will "crash and burn". But like death it's never if but when. There is only three ways to protect yourself from loosing your precious data and that is backup, BackUp, BACKUP. Remote Data Backups makes it easy and convenient to perform this function on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. You as the user set the parameters.

It is easy to install and perform this needed computer function with the help of the staff at Remote Data Backups. The whole process took no more than 30 minutes and I use the software during the evening when the computer is not being used. It is the only way to insure you never loose your data.

— Roberta Lundin, PostNet - franchisee

A PostNet franchisee sings the praises of Windows Recovery and its ability to automatically rstore his entire system exactly as it was before his computer crashed.

If you haven't yet tried our new vendor called "Remote Data Backups" then you are lucky. Your lucky because you haven't had a hard disk crash yet, resulting in lost data. I signed up a couple months ago and was so glad when my hard disk crashed at 9:00 last night. By 10 I had a new drive installed and by 11 I had my OS back up. RDS advertises 24/7 support so I called them and they walked me through a complete system "heal". I went to sleep and woke this morning to a COMPLETE restore of my system from two nights ago! I mean everything was just as it had been...no passwords lost, all email there, all documents, no hours of software installation...everything was there!

Once set up with them the back up happens automatically every night. If you have ever lost data from a hard disk crash you can fully appreciate the beauty of this program. I can't make a strong enough recommendation to everyone to consider this service.

Thanks again,

— Steve Simmons, PostNet - MBA Greater Denver Area Franchisee

A store owner explains how easy it is to use Windows Recovery, giving you the "most bang for your buck" and is a "no brainer" solution.

We used Norton Ghost in the past to support corporate IT networks and desktops. It is a great little tool for someone that is comfortable with technology. I don't believe that it is good solution for the average PostNet store owner, because it requires a lot of administrative overhead to manage the disk "images" (pictures). Unfortunately, it is only a partial solution.

The advantage of "Remote Data Backups" is that it makes the ENTIRE process a no-brainer. No more fumbling with Zip disks and wondering if your data is really safe or not. Select it, Schedule it and GO! Did you get a virus? How about just "rolling back" your system to the day right before your computer got afflicted? That's what Steve did using a feature called "Windows Recovery". I don't think there is another "solution" out there that solves a PostNet owner's backup problems better than RDB. Note that I said "solution", not "software". As a store owner, I don't want to purchase and install software, I want to implement a "solution".

In a previous life, I was given a half a million dollar budget to create a complete Disaster Recovery Plan for a startup company. This included designing the process, purchasing the hardware and tape media, hiring and training the staff to manage it and then choosing an offsite storage company to keep our data safe. Believe me when I say that you get the best bang for your buck with www.remotedatabackups.com. -- Wow, sounds like a commercial. BTW, I am not getting paid for this and no animals were harmed in the making of this message board post.

A PostNet franchisee extolls the advantages of Remote Data Backups.

Remote Data Backups....Offsite (protects from fire/theft), easy (automatic daily backup), one touch restore (not just files, but applications, settings etc...would take hours by itself)

Small business marketing is a system...not an event.

— Steve Simmons, PostNet - Boulder, CO

PostNet owners sound off about the advantages of using Remote Data Backups.

We agree with addicted users Steve Simmons and Noel Martin: www.remotedatabackups.com is the only viable answer and they're an approved vendor!!! See their details at http://www.postnet.net/vendorfull.asp?txtid=762  

We've been using them for 3 months and LOVE IT!

I met the President of RemoteDataBackps, Dan Dugal, at the convention and was EXTREMELY impressed with his depth of knowledge and his answers to my questions.

Having RemoteDataBackups means:

1. No problem if my main drive fails.
2. No problems if power surges/lightning strikes wipe ALL RAID data.
3. No problems if you have theft, fire, flood, tornado or hurricanes. (your data is OFF-SITE! We just had an F-3 tornado pass over our building 3 weeks ago. Totalled one of our cars. $4K damage on the other. $14K damage to our home. Leveled 40 homes within a 10-block radius. NO amount of my own "in-store" data backup (tape, RAID, CD, etc.) would have recovered our "destroyed/missing" computer!)
4. I don't need to intervene at all! It does it automatically.
5. THEY restore the failed data...In mere hours!
6. Resource is recommending and providing remotedatabackups on all new Resource computers for new stores.

I think Annie Carlon (Vendor Manager) hit a HOME RUN with www.remotedatabackups.com!!!

P.S. - Using www.remotedatabackups.com ELIMINATES my need to constantly buy and worry about backup hardware. If you're using 7 different backup tapes (media) every week and rotating them offsite daily (as you should in a disciplined backup environment) then you're spending over $500 for hardware and 7 tapes. Have you priced DDS, DAT or DDR tapes recently? Upwards of $40+ bucks each! Then you have to "worry" about the tapes/CD's/ZIP drives being readable or "restorable" when you really, really need them!

Resource has sent us THREE new CDRW drives for our main POS and none of them stay working for more than 30 days. We just stopped backing up out of frustration! Remember what a dusty environment we all have...paper, boxes, etc.

I have too much selling of business cards, letterhead, flyers, brochures, posters, banners and direct mail items than to be messing with daily backups and hardware every day!

— Dennis and Joan Cogan, PostNet - Bentonville, AR

A PostNet franchisee explains why RDB is better than CDs.

RemoteDataBackups is the best way to go. We used to burn a cd and bring it home daily - the problem with that is if you accidently break it or hit it with a big static charge or leave it on the dash in the car in one of those hot august days its lost. We've been using remote for about a year ( i'm guessing a year because we just got our renewal subscription fees) and it's been great. It has worked every single time with the exception of when our internet was down.

— Dan Fuller, PostNet - Schuylkill Haven, PA

At least one customer thinks we're "cool".

Agree w/ Dennis. remotedatabackups is cool and customer-friendly.

— Patrick Wingo, PostNet - Concord NC

A PostNet franchisee is singing the praises of Remote Data Backups.

Thanks again for changing our "upper limit" from 100MB to 250MB. We have a 105MB file on our POS that we'd like to backup but we hit the 100MB "ceiling" earlier today on the backup.

Just let us know when our annual check is needed for dues for the "Dan Dugal / RDBU Raving Fan Club!!!"

Below is the message I just posted on the PostNet Franchise Message board to over 500 PostNetters around the country!

U-Rock! Thanks again!

It's Sunday evening on Labor Day Weekend and the President (Dan Dugal) of a PostNet Approved Vendor Remote Data Backups just called me at home from his house in Denver. We use his company to backup our Resource POS data every evening (in case of data loss due to hard drive crash, fire, flood, tornado, burglary, etc.)

I submitted a simple support request on his www.RDBU.com website this afternoon for a small technical issues (very small that could have easily waited until Tuesday after the holiday) but Dan called me to explain the solution. He said to drop him a quick personal email and he would "take care of the issue before going to bed tonight."

Here's a gent whose company is obviously doing extremely well financially (they backup thousands of franchisee databases nationwide - http://www.remotedatabackups.com/clients/index.htm) and yet he gave his team the weekend off and he's doing all the Tech Support on this holiday weekend.

Today I learned a big lesson from a guy I now admire greatly: Customers are the reason we exist and the way we earn an income...not an interruption in our day. Even though they "do" interrupt our weekends/evenings, they are still the reason we exist and still the reason we earn an income.

We're now members of the RDBU.com "Raving Fan" club!

A Mr. Rooter franchisee who used our service to quickly and easily recover their corrupted QuickBooks program.

Our franchise currently utilizes Z-Ware with Quickbooks.

On January 20, 2005 in the middle of the day, our Quickbooks file became corrupt and was unable to use it.

We have been using Remote Data Backup for over 1 year and this is the first time it was needed. By using this system we were able to restore our Quickbooks file and continue processing within ONE HOUR.

With the Remote Data Backup system it was very simple and easy to restore only this one file.

Without this system it would have taken hours to restore let alone the amount of down and catch up time.

I highly recommend this service for peace of mind.

A Mr. Rooter franchisee sing the praises of Remote Data Backups.

I just wanted to let you all know of a service I use for backing up my files. I use Remote Data Backups. I just renewed for another year (it is only $239.40!)

I had an issue (forgot my password) and needed to contact them. I fired off an email with my question and in probably less than 10 minutes I got a call. I am so pleased with this company.

I know many of you may already have something in place for this but if you don’t or if you aren’t happy with what you have and are looking to change, please check out this company.

Go to www.RemoteDataBackups.com Dan Dugal is the owner and operator and is highly knowledgeable about this stuff and how important is that. You can also call toll free at 866-7-BACKUP. Please check them out.

To: 'Kennedy, Ted' Subject: RE: Hard Drive Crash

I'm VERY pleased with it! I tried it a few days after you emailed me about it. It's $20 per month and the franchise owners could grumble about "one more monthly fee". I do think it's a no brainier.

What do you think about a strong recommendation to the system and an even stronger recommendation to the Right Start Trainees? In other words we just make it part of Right Start.

A happy Mr. Handyman franchisee who is very happy with our file backups system.

I went for a year in my new Mr. Handyman business trying to remember to back up our critical database onto ZIP disks. As we got busy, I assigned the task to someone else but found that we sometimes went days or even weeks between backups. Or worse, we found that sometimes backups were accidentally made to the hard disk and not the ZIP drive. I was considering buying an expensive tape drive system when I discovered Remote Data Backups. The service has been outstanding and keeping my critical scheduling and customer account data safe is automatic. I certainly sleep better at night knowing that my backups are always current and available if I ever need them.

— Stefan Silverman, Mr. Handyman - Eden Prairie (MN)

An email sent to all the Moran Industries franchisees by their Communications Director, Jill Bostwick. The service was tested extensively tested by their IT manager and we are now a preferred vendor for Moran Industries.

Three things are certain: Death, taxes, and lost data.

I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash but when it happens they wish they were dead!

Its 3 AM, do you know where your computer data is? Your contacts, your payroll information, your personal pictures (not those personal pictures, the family ones). You say they're sitting on your C: drive? You sure? Disaster comes in many forms; storms, hardware failure, power surges, fires, theft. No problem you say, I back up every night. Destroy my expensive piece of computer equipment! Throw my data to the wind! I HAVE THE BACK UP DISK! You cannot destroy me you say standing outside your shop with your arms outstretched holding your CD high in the air cursing at the wind, lightning and thunder dancing around your crazed head.

OK maybe that's a bit on the dramatic side but I cannot stress enough the importance of doing your backups. While most of the time, files can be recovered from systems with problems, if your hard disk physically fails, it is very nice to know your data is backed up on another medium. How can you make sure that your critical files are available if your disk fails? There are several methods of backup available to you for just such a situation. The most common are:

• Diskette/Zip disk storage
• CD-R(w) storage
• Tape Backup Units
• Remote Data Backups

The two types of backup that I would recommend for backups are CD-RW's and Remote Data Back-ups. CD-RW disks allow you to write multiple times to the same CD. Standard CD-R(W) disks can store 700 Megabytes of data. They are relatively inexpensive and require little time.

Remote Data Backups are another good alternative. Laura has tested this product at Moran and was very successful on recovering data with one of our computer crashes. For 100 MB of backup space the cost is $9.95 a month. This is a cost effective, secure, and convenient way to automatically back up your critical data every night. Once the service is setup, it requires no human intervention and requires no extra hardware. For more information on this service please contact Dan Dugal at (970) 407-1490 for more information.

An email sent out to all 200+ Maid Brigade franchisees by MIS director Raychel Leong highly recommending our service and explaining exactly what they need to back up. Included in this email is a first hand testimonial from a franchisee named Charles Dearborn recommending our service to all his fellow franchisees. We are a preferred vendor for Maid Brigade.

Hopefully everyone reading this email is in the good habit of performing data backups EVERY evening, and taking the backup OFF-SITE.

A successful backup of your MicroMaid (and Quickbooks) data will make your life MUCH EASIER in case of damage to your computer/s. Note that "successful" backup is the key word there have been cases where diligent franchisees were UNABLE TO RESTORE their essential applications because the backups were not useable e.g. files were not saved correctly, incorrect format, defective media.

The absolutely essential files to backup are:

MicroMaid_Tables
MicroMaid_Control
MicorMaid_CorpData

All three files are located in the MMWindows folder located on the M: drive. You can select to backup the entire MMWindows folder. If space is not an issue, you could backup the entire M: drive. We highly recommend keeping ONLY MicroMaid related files on the M: drive.

An important part of the backup is CHECKING the files to ensure they are useable in case of crisis. Once the backup is complete, go to the source of the backup (your cd/tape/offsite storage) and check the file type and size of the essential files (MicroMaid_Tables, MicroMaid_Control, MicroMaid_CorpData). The file type should be MicroMaid Access; the size of the files on the backup source should be the SAME as the files in your M: drive.

Taking your backups off-site is just as important as creating them. If you make a backup and leave it in your office, there may be a risk of loss through:

• Fire
• Flood
• Earthquake
• Other Natural Disasters.
• Theft

Taking steps to protect and preserve your data will help to keep you in business!

To assist all franchisees in performing regular backups that are stored off-site, we would like to encourage you to consider a company called "Remote Data Backups". RDB provides automated backups of data, which is then stored at their secure location (mirrored Data Centers). ***Note that only YOU have access to your data*** RDB uses an encryption system to ensure that only the person with the correct password key can read the stored data. RDB does not have copies of your password; therefore if you were to forget or lose the password, your data would not be accessible or readable by anyone!

In order to test the service provided by RDB, both Kip Dearborn and myself took the service for a "test drive". I was pleased at the ease of the setup, backup and retrieval process. After deleting the contents of my M drive, I was able to restore all files and folders within a couple of clicks.

Here are Kip's comments on his experience with Remote Data Backups:

The installation was a piece of cake. After the installation, the ongoing routine was auto pilot. So far no conflicts have been encountered. Daily backups have been completed with zero complications. Initially the 100 meg backup package was tested. Worked well at the file level (can't back up sub directories). The current package under review is for backup to 10 gig (both the 4 gig and 10 gig package works at the sub directory level). Here are the big pluses:

• Easy - Auto pilot backups
• Easy - Restorations
• Secure - 112 bit Triple DES encryption, two mirrored geographic separated & mirrored Data Centers
• Cost effective - close to the same cost as purchased media for backups.
• Compatible - so far no conflicts with other programs.

Having come from a technical support background, most people either ignore backing up (it won't happen to me) or get so busy that it routinely gets ignored. That's when disaster hits with little ability to recover. The cost of a good backup system far out weighs the cost of a crash (not counting lost customers/revenue). Based on the preceding results/opinions this option gets two thumbs up.

Over the past few years at Maid Brigade, I've communicated with Franchisees whose computers crashed and lost all their data. Keep in mind that even if you were to purchase a new computer, there are the additional expenses of paying a network person to setup and configure the computer as well as the inconvenience of unrecoverable data, and lost business. Remote Data Backups provides an easy and affordable way to securely store your data off-site. Plans start at $9.95/month.

Remote Data Backup's Founder and President - Dan Dugal, was recently appointed to the International Franchise Association’s (IFA) Technology Committee. Also, RDB is the only IFA Supplier Member to offer this type of service.

Dugal’s background previously owned the largest computer repair and networking company in Colorado, "Computer Paramedics". One of the services provided was data recovery, and it was from 4.5 years of working in the data recovery arena and hearing about the horror stories, that Dugal founded Remote Data Backups. RDB currently works with approximately 3 dozen franchise organizations, including The Dwyer Group, Moran Industries, Adventures in Advertising, Handyman connection, Signa Rama…and more.

Raychel,

You sent a letter out a while ago regarding this issue. I hired Remote Data Backups for a minimal charge and have been extremely pleased with their service. The rep's name is Dan Dugal, and he's been super in helping me getting set up etc.

Thanks for looking out for us all the time.

Have a great vacation.

A Maid Brigade franchisee who now enjoys peace of mind and can sleep at night know her data is safe and secure.

I have worried a lot about backing up our computer in case of an emergency. We had a tape installed which performs a backup nightly. When one of the franchisees relayed her story about how Remote Data Backup systems helped her in a time of need I decided to add this additional service to our office. I once heard someone say “you cannot have too many backups”. I now sleep like a baby! I know between our tape system and remote data backup we will be in fine shape - whatever happens to our computer!!!!

Thank you for providing this valuable service,

— Candace Alcorn, Maid Bridgade - Orlando, Florida

A happy Maid Brigade franchisee who knows the importance of offsite file backup.

Our home office asked us to look into using your "Remote Backup System". After speaking with you, I decided to give it a try.

I am amazed how easy it is to use. For about $ 30.00 a month, I do not have to worry if I remembered to backup my system every night. Your system does this automatically for me. It was easy to install and I do nothing afterwords. I love the fact that there is 24 customer service.

The peace of mind is invaluable to me and I would highly recommend your service.

— Carmella Wood, Maid Brigade - San Diego

A happy Maid Brigade franchisee who knows the value of our online data backup service.

I have found the remote Data Backups to be highly reliable and easy to use. The automatic system keep my company and my personal computer backed up once a day and the cost is very reasonable.

It allows me to sleep at night knowing if anything happened to our computer systems the stored information is safe.

I highly recommend the system to anyone who is thinking that they can back up their system themselves.

Let the pros do it and don't worry.

A franchisor relates franchisees' frequent, tragic experiences with backup media (CD, DVD & Tape), and strongly recommends Remote Data Backups.

This message is primarily for franchisees that are NOT NSC users.  However, NSC users may find the information useful if they wish to backup vital files such as Quickbooks.

Unfortunately it happens at least once a year......we receive contact from a devastated franchisee whose computer has crashed.  We assure the franchisee that we'll have them up and running in less than an hour.  All we have to do is re-install MicroMaid and then restore files from their backup.  There is a sense of relief from the franchisee.

The scenario above is the "good" one.  However, each year the "not so good" scenario occurs:

MicroMaid is installed and the franchisee inserts the backup media.  We provide direction on which files to locate.....the franchisee can't find those exact files, they have some with "similar" names but not the ones we're asking for.  At this point reality hits, the franchisee doesn't have a "good" backup.....except for the one from 6 months ago.

As much as we want to "save" a franchisee's MicroMaid and restore it to the same condition it was in prior to the computer crash, we can only do that IF A GOOD BACK UP exists. 

While we promote local backups using CD/DVD/Tape, we also encourage franchisees to leverage a "Remote Backup" service.  When it comes to "disaster recovery", two sources is better than one.  What would you do if the backup CD was lost or damaged?

For the past few years we have personally used, and recommend, "Remote Data Backups".  We have a number of franchisees that also use RDB as their backup provider.  This service offers different plans depending on the amount of data you wish to backup.  The basic plan is $9.95/month and allows for up to 100mb of storage, this is sufficient for the majority of franchisees.  However, if you are interested in a total system backup (just about everything on your computer), the largest storage offered is 30GB, $99.95/month.

There are four different storage levels to select from....you want to be able to back up at *least* your MMWINDOWS folder (right-click on it and choose properties to see the file size). 

For those of you that are interested but "not sure" about the service, RDB has a 30-day FREE trial with no obligation.  Please use your "maidbrigade.com" email address when signing up - it helps us to know who is using the service so we can ask you for your feedback on occasion.

A Maid Brigade Franchisee evangelizes about the importance of Remote Data Backups.

Thanks for taking care of us and our backup needs! Every month or two a Maid Brigade franchisee loses significant data (and sleep) because of faulty backups. Each time this happens, our corporate office sends out a reminder of the importance of backing up. I wish everyone would just sign up for Remote Data Backups, they could all sleep easy knowing it was handled. Backups are too important to leave them in "human" hands!!

— Lisa Saxton, Maid Brigade - Portland, OR

An Edible Arrangements franchisee found setup easy and an automated system backup priceless.

Establishing an account with Remote Data Backup was unbelievably easy and it took just a few minutes. The cost is very reasonable and having a backup of our system is priceless.

— Krissy Sorensen, Edible Arrangements - Las Vegas South

A VERY lucky franchise who had to use our service to restore a corrupt database even before their 30-day free trial was done.

Remote Data Backups provides an excellent product. About a month ago I was looking for a backup solution for our server that contains all of our franchise prospects. I wanted to try an online solution since I didn’t want to have to rely on someone in the office to remember to switch any tapes or CDs. I found Remote Data Backups and installed the software which was very easy.

Two weeks after installing the software I got the call that every IT person dreads. A new employee had managed to change a large amount of records in the database accidentally with incorrect information. There was no way to just go back and fix the records since the problem was not caught right away. I placed a call to Remote Data Backups and they walked my coworker through how to restore the backed up files which was a couple file versions back. Luckily for us they store the last 10 versions of the files. They spent about an hour with us as we tried to figure out exactly which files needed to be restored.

I can’t emphasize enough that Remote Data Backups has an excellent product with great user support.

— Jason Webber, Help U Sell - IT Support

Remote Data Backups saved this Handyman Matters franchisee headaches by automatically backing up his system, then easily restoring his computer after a software install caused a hard drive crash.

RemoteDataBackups saved me a bunch of headaches by being able to restore the system configuration of a few days back in 10 minutes after installing something that didn’t agree with my computer. I didn’t lose any data at all because it only restored the settings from Windows and didn’t touch my files. As a ‘former’ software engineer, I’m glad to have the peace of mind that when my hard drive crashes or gets sick, I can get my files back safely with very little effort on my part after an incident and no effort to back them up because it’s automatically done in the background.

— TJ Bass, Handyman Matters - Franchise Owner, Central Texas

A happy Handyman Connection franchisee who likes the peace of mind that our service offers.

We are extremely pleased with the sense of security we have here at the Detroit North Handyman Connection. No longer do we have to hassle with the daily tape back up and weekly cleaning of the tape drive. Replacing those tapes every six months was getting costly, that's if we could locate them!

Remote Data Backup is one of our best investments yet. Even though we haven't had a crash that caused us to lose our data, just one would pay for your service. I feel confident, after performing a test run, that our data is safe.

Sincerely,

— Steven Bejarano, Handyman Connection - General Manager

An IT consulting affiliate partner who has had great success promoting the service.

I have been using Remote Data Backups (RDB) for about 1 week now. I've been very impressed with its ease of use, clean interface and, most importantly, its effectiveness in actually backing up my stuff...I even had to do a restore already, and it worked seamlessly.

Yesterday I also switched over one of my clients from another online backup service over to RDB. I think they'll be much better off with RDB, if my satisfaction is any indication :-) I have registered on our GoC-branded site, from which place you can download either trial. It's imperative that we, as resellers, have done the following: a) Register with RDB online as a reseller (www.remotedatabackups.com/g) and b) promote the service as a no-brainer to our client base and c) put your information into the Salesperson field after installing the client software, so you'll get credit ($$$) when the client starts paying for the service.

I can see any business client, especially home-based businesses, using the RDB service. I will make it part of my regular service call routine now...it just makes sense.

For those who haven't tried it yet, I would certainly encourage them to do it soon.

A Geeks franchisee appreciated our offer to print free customized flyers.

Thanks for the info. I could use some flyers for my buisness/prospects. Can you start me off with 50 and I will include them with my service agreement proposals? Thanks.

— Keith Abbey, 1-800-905-GEEK

A Geeks on Call owner says RDB helps him become his clients' "complete IT service provider and trusted IT advisor".

We know our customers, mostly small business/home business owners, need an affordable, reliable backup system. In addition, we want to provide them with a system that does two basic things; removes routine human involvement from the daily backup process and gets the data off-site.

Remote Data Backups accomplishes both of these objectives with great ease and effectiveness. It is an easy sell, especially here in hurricane country (coastal South Carolina). The best thing about it for my business is that all of the RDB customer interfacing components (flyers, website, etc.) are branded with the Geeks On Call logo and contact information. If, in addition to our routine services, we provide our customers with Remote Data Backups services we are just that much closer to accomplishing our goal of becoming their complete IT service provider and trusted IT advisor.

Last, but certainly not least, we earn a decent commission on every account we sell. It is a win for our customers and a win for my business!

— Ron Roddam, 1-800-905-GEEK - North Charleston, SC

A Geeks on Call reseller is pleased with the service.

They like their service, and want to continue. It's saved them very well twice. Keep up the good work.

A Geeks on Call franchisee likes our automated backups and easy system restore.

I'm very impressed with Remote Data Backups! The ease-of-use for my clients is a big help; most can install themselves. With a few button clicks they are all setup for automatically backing up all their critical data. As a technician managing our clients servers the "Easy System Restore" is especially helpful for intractable problems. Thank You!

— Brian Vicente, 1-800-905-GEEK

A FedUSA franchisee who has already had a data loss and knows the importance of online data backup.

Dear Dan,

Thanks so much for all of your assistance in setting up my remote data backup system for my computer system. As you know, I'm not very technically proficient. Without all of your help, I probably couldn't have done this, even though it is simple to you.

For anyone who is considering this service, or not considering it, let me give you a little advice - take it. The incredible cost of trying to recreate your hard drive and all of its data is all too familiar to me. I had a lightning strike at my home, and lost my hard drive. At that time I was working out of my home, and had all my business info on that computer. I unfortunately had not backed up in over six months, and am still trying to recreate the lost info.

I don't ever want to have to go through that again. And with this inexpensive service, my computer info is backed up automatically every night. If anything ever happens again, in the morning I'll retrieve the backed up info and not lose a beat.

I'm sure many of you will have to find out the hard way, but if you take my advice, you'll sign up immediately.

Sincerely,

— Joseph Depace, FedUSA - CLU, ChFCFedUSA

A DreamMaker Bath and Kitchen franchisee who is also part of The Dwyer Group that highly recommends our service. We are a preferred vender for The Dwyer Group.

I have been using remote data backups in my business for the last two years and find their service to be vary reliable. The peace of mind knowing that all of our company information is secure is priceless, Dan has always been very reachable and provides excellent customer service when any questions have arisen.

I would highly recommend Remote Data backups to any business looking for the security of their company information.

Sincerely

— Paul Calafiore, DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen - Newington, CT

A store owner was glad she tried Remote Data Backups, just 3 weeks before Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans.

About 3 weeks ago, the backup drive on our server was giving us problems, so we decided to begin offsite backups, as a precautionary measure. We remembered a vendor for DreamMaker that provided this service. We contacted Remote Data Backups and spent about 15 minutes setting up our service.

We are so glad we did this. Our company is located in Kenner, Louisiana, a suburb of New Orleans. Our area was devastated by Hurricane Katrina. As of today, we haven't returned and still don't know if our office is standing - reports vary from 4 to 8 feet of water in our area. But imagine our relief when we recieved the news from Remote Data Backups that all of our information had been saved securely offsite since the day we left town. This includes all of our financial information, as well as our customer base. When we resume business (and we will!) all of our information will be immediately available for us to use.

— Kathy Faia, Dreammaker of Kenner - President

The President of the Dwyer Group was relieved to hear a New Orleans-based DreamMaker Bath and Kitchen owner used Remote Data Backups to keep business data safe from Hurricane Katrina.

We heard about this and what a blessing that they got with you all just before this happened. Timing.

— Doug Dwyer, Dwyer Group - President and CSO

DreamMaker HQ was glad one of their New Orleans-based franchisees ran Remote Data Backups before Hurricane Katrina hit.

As many of you may already be aware, Sal and Kathy Faia live in a suburb of New Orleans. We have been in touch with them and they are well and safe however, both their home and office are under at least 4 to 8 feet of water. They have no idea how long it will be before they have the opportunity to return to see if there is anything salvageable.

In the meantime, please read the email below from Kathy to one of our Vendors. At this time of a huge and terrible disaster, how fortunate they are to have retained Dan at Remote Data Backups.

So be on the safe side and plan for the protection of all your data in the event of a disaster, contact Remote Data Backups to discuss their services. Please go to the bottom of this email for contact info.

New Service Program-Remote Data Backups

What would happen if you lost all of the data in your POS system? How much are you spending on backup tapes every year? The FAC has just approved a new vendor that we believe will save you money, give you more peace of mind, and be a new revenue generation source.

We would like to ask you all to try a disaster prevention service called Remote Data Backups that we have been researching for you. We feel that this backup service would not only protect your critical franchise data, but you can also offer it to your clients to generate lucrative commissions. We have validated the program with several franchise systems who are using it and they have all had glowing reviews.

Your business data is one of your most valuable assets to your franchise and it needs to be properly backed up every night. Remote Data Backups automatically performs nightly backups using your existing Internet connection to two mirrored data centers. The data centers are both top of the line and the data is encrypted with 128 AES Encryption.

Remote Data Backups has an excellent reputation in the franchise community and they have been part of the International Franchise Association for many years. They perform this service for over 50 different franchise organizations and they have multiple computer repair and consulting franchises (including Geeks on Call) already promoting Remote Data Backups to their franchisees, as well as their clients. All customer liability issues regarding loss of data or security issues are solely the responsibility of Remote Data Backups and the franchisor nor franchisee will have any liability.

They would like to partner with us to do the same.

We recommend that you ask your clients to first utilize Remote Data Backups for a 30 day free trial before they bring their computer in for upgrades or repairs. No credit card info is required and setup only takes 10 minutes (it's a great cover your tail practice in case you lose your clients data during a repair). We recommend that you also place a customized Remote Data Backup icon on all the computers you sell for additional exposure (your clients will either try the service, or wish they had if they ever lose their data).

I have attached additional information explaining the pricing and the benefits to their service. Feel free to call their CEO Dan Dugal directly at (970) 407-1490 for more details or visit their website www.remotedatabackups.com.

We highly recommend that you try the service out for yourself.

— Matt Kelton, Computer Renaissance - President and COO

A Computer Renaissance owner says RDB is the "best insurance you can buy."

It's the best insurance policy you can buy for your new business. After spending weeks setting up the files that handle the store data, protecting that data daily with Remote Data Backup is extremely comforting.

A happy IT consultant sees Remote Data Backups as an excellent fit into CMIT's service offerings.

Remote Data Backups is a product that allows me to offer a low-cost-of-entry solution to almost any potential customer who wants to 'test the water' with both on-line data backup as well as CM IT Solutions. The 30-day free trial virtually eliminates the barrier to entry, it's easy for my technicians to install & configure and the interface is intuitive and simple enough to allow even the most novice user to verify the successful backup of their data.

— Les Blodgett, CM IT Solutions

After testing a cheaper solution and being disappointed, a reseller found Remote Data Backups more than met his expectations.

Looking for a data backup solution for my home computer, I was enticed by another product due to the ridiculously low price and the offer of “unlimited storage”. I decided to give it a try, since it appeared to be in competition with the Remote Data Backup product that we offer—and my clients might ask me about it. After three days of continuous connection to them, my data backup was still only 12% complete and my family was ready to banish me from working on our home network. On day 3, I abandoned the competitor backup, and deployed Remote Data Backup on my home machine. A couple of hours later the data backup was completed and peace was restored in my home. The moral: if it seems too good to be true, it probably is!

— Scott Brennan, CM IT Solutions - CM IT Solutions

An IT consultant has clients asking for backup solutions.

Even as a new franchisee, we run into the need for backup solutions for our clients/prospective clients daily… Thank you.

A national accounting firm franchisee recommends our online data backup service to anyone with important data to backup offsite.

We have been using Remote Data Backups for about a month now. I can highly recommend it for its ease of use, flexibility, and the ability to access backed up files from any computer with Internet access.

Set up was extremely simple. All I had to do was download and run the setup program which walked me through the easy-to-understand setup process in a few minutes.

The program allows complete flexibility in choosing which folders to back up as well as back up times and days of the week.

Hopefully we will never need to restore data but merely having the data automatically backed up every night means one (actually more than one) less thing I have to do. Even if we never need to restore data, the ability to access data from home or while traveling is an outstanding feature.

I do not know of a more cost effective insurance policy against lost or destroyed data.

— Rodney Givens, CFO Today / Ledger Plus - franchisee

An accountant is the pefect example of someone who knows the importance of online backup.

I now have peace of mind knowing there is an offsite backup file(s) of my clients critical data information. After getting the files uploaded the first time, the backup now take less than 10 minutes and will be even faster after next week getting DSL finally installed.

Thanks again for walking a technically challenged person through the steps to get set up and being available to answer all types of questions.

— Jake Herzog, CFO Today/Ledger Plus - franchisee

A CFO Today / Ledger Plus accounting consultant that was able to use our online backup service to restore his lost accounting data. A directory was accidently deleted and we were able to restore it within minutes.

Remote Data Backups has been a real life saver. We had a minor computer problem at the office and some key data files were lost.

Without the ability to have the data restored the next day, we would have been in big trouble! It works!!

— Lonny Haugen, CFO Today / Ledger Plus - franchisee

The president of a business consulting franchise will promote Remote Data Backups to all his franchisees.

An email sent out to all 300+ Budget Blinds franchisees recommending our service. We are a preferred vendor for Budget Blinds.

Dear Franchisees,

I would like to introduce to you an offsite data protection service called Remote Data Backups that we are highly recommending to all our franchisees to try for themselves.

Multiple Budget Blind franchisees have been using it for some time and all have been very happy with it. Please read the testimonials below from Loree Brazil and Ray Cattaneo, fellow franchisees who are using Remote Data Backups.

Remote Data Backups is a cost effective, secure, and convenient way to automatically back up your mission critical data offsite every night. This service will perform backups automatically, every night, via your existing Internet connection to two mirrored data centers. Your data is transmitted and stored using 112-bit Triple DES Encryption and SSL technology, so that it is very secure from any unwanted access.

We strongly recommended that our franchisees back up their data daily and store it offsite. With an automated service like Remote Data Backups, you can be assured that this mission critical task is occurring nightly. It is also much more cost effective and reliable than manually using tape, zip, Jazz, CDRW, or DVD drives. Once the service has been set up, it typically requires no human intervention and requires no additional hardware.

There is a 30-day free trial period enabling you to try out the service for yourself at no risk. Please review the documentation provided to you, or visit their website www.remotedatabackups.com for more information. They are an IFA Supplier Member and they will provide you with all information and free customer support that you will need.

Feel free to contact Daniel Dugal directly at (970) 407-1490, or email him and he will personally walk you step by step through the entire set-up process. It only takes 15 minutes or so to set up and is pretty much hands free after that. Once you see first hand how it works, we are confident that you will be impressed with it.

Sincerely,

— Dan Harrison, Budget Blinds - Information Services Manager

A testimonial from a franchisee who believes in peace of mind with Remote Data Backup. We are a preferred vendor for Budget Blinds.

Dear Dan,

Thank you for your recent assistance in setting up my account and for your fantastic backup service. It was very easy to install to schedule regular backups for my system each night. The whole process took only a matter of minutes.

The peace of mind in knowing my critical Quickbooks data is secure and backed up each day is priceless. You have a great product and customer service!

Thanks again,

— Raymond Cattanneo, Budget Blinds - South Shore

A happy Budget Blinds franchisee that knows the importance of online data backups.

Dan,

Thanks so much for getting us up and running with your Remote Data Backups service! I can't believe how easy it was to install and begin using. We are thankful for the security of knowing all of our data is backed up every night--especially important files like Quickbooks!!!

For a long time, I knew I should utilize a backup service such as yours but "just never got around to it". When a friend recently lost a good amount of computer data, I knew it was time! You came highly recommended, and we have been nothing but happy.

Thanks again,

— Angela Parlin, Budget Blinds - Durham/Chapel Hill, NC

Easy online backup, excellent data restore feature, and great customer service make for another happy Budget Blinds franchisee.

I can now rest assured that my data will not be lost should my system crash and I do not need to worry about remembering to do back-ups myself. I would also like to comment on your prompt customer service and easy accessibility should there be any issues or concerns. Customer service, along with an excellent way of storing your data without even thinking about it is great! I think that all franchisees from Budget Blinds should consider Remote Data Backups.

Best regards,

— Rebecca Rieke, Budget Blinds - Amherst, NH

A very happy Dwyer Group franchisee who is very pleased with our online data backup service.

Dear Fellow Franchisee,

I wanted to share my experiences with you about a Preferred Vendor of the Dwyer Group that our Aire Serv franchise is now using. The name of the company is called Remote Data Backups.

There customer service representative is always at hand 24/7 for your needs. I have contacted them several times in the evening hours and daytime as well and they are always very helpful. We have been using them about 2 months now, although I have not had any crashes yet, there is a peace of mind knowing everything is backed up on a daily basis now. Protecting our investment in Z-Ware and Quick Books and our other programs.

Remote Date Back-ups is very user friendly. I would encourage you try it on a 30 day free trial.

Thanks Dan for your patience getting us going!

— Carla Crafton, Aire Serv - Brazil, IN

A very lucky Adventures in Advertising franchisee suffered a hard drive crash just days after signing up for our 30 day free trial. He was able to restore all his data to another computer and continue business while waiting for repairs to be done. He highly endorses the service. We have nearly 100 AIA franchisees already on board.

Subject: Re: New Computer

I MUST relay this to everyone:

I've always been good with virus software and updates and scanning, but NOT with backing up my data.

I finally listened to what a number of FO's have said on the network and I signed up for the Remote Data service, and did my first complete backup right before convention. Just in case. And, just in time. Right after convention, my computer blew. Complete meltdown, hard drive, operating system, etc.

But EVERYTHING is safe and sound on Backup's servers. This last 2 weeks have been tough, getting a new machine, etc., but NOTHING like what it could have been. I can only imagine.

The service is silly inexpensive, and Dan Dugal's been nothing but awesome. I don't think he ever sleeps, he's a cyborg or something.

A first hand testimonial from an Adventures In Advertising franchisee who had a hard drive crash. He sent this email out on their owners network explaining how easy it was to recover. We have nearly 100 happy AIA members already on board.

Subject: Hard Drive Crash

For What It's Worth:

Late last week my computer experienced a hard drive crash that caused me to loose every scrap of data. I needed to replace the hard drive. 6 months ago I began subscribing to an internet-based back up service, recommended by Chris Morrisey, by the name of Remote Data Backups. Within hours of having to replace my hard drive I had every scrap of data restored exactly as it was before the crash. If you are playing Russian Roulette with your current method of backing up your data you owe it to yourself to check out their web site. www.remotedatabackups.com Without this system I would have spent countless hours, perhaps days, putting my business life back together. The monthly fee for this service plus the convienience of backing up automatically on a daily basis is worth every penny. The contact's name is Dan Dugal and he can be reached at (970) 407-1490.

I had to use the restore backup system this morning after I updated some software. I lost my Outlook Express and your system only took about 20 minutes to make a full restore from my good backup that was made last night. So I will continue to suggest your service, I have had a peace of mind regarding my computer system ever since I took the plunge to invest in my business wisely for a service so greatly needed.

— Tamara Sanchez, AIA - Franchisee

A happy Adventures In Advertising franchisee who has had to utilize our service on many occassions.

I would like to express my appreciation to Remote Data Backup service, your service has come to my rescue twice since I began my subscription about 5 months ago.

I can not conduct my daily business without my computer, utilizing my email accounts to processing and checking status of orders for my clients as well as research, communication with clients and most of all conduct financial transactions. It is critical that my computer and internet connection work at all times for me to be productive. Both situations that required Remote Data Backup to re-boot my system to a good backup were rather simple and quick which allowed me to get back to my daily business without spending hours trying to figure out what I did to make my system go off balance.

Either way-Thank you for being their when needed, I know that the small investment in your service has paid for itself and permits me to worry about my business and not my hard drive crashing or some new software program messing up my register.

— Tamara Sanchez, AIA - Innovative Ideas

An AIA franchisee who knows the importance of performing a convenient offsite data backup solution.

Dear All AIAFO's;

I wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for having Remote Data Backups as an option for delivering a service that I know the value of and have been looking for, for 3 years.

I owned a large company for years, and every day either someone in our IT Dept. or myself would back up the daily files and take them off site. We always had a weeks worth of backups at all times. This saved us more than once having to re-input data into a system that had lost information. I cannot tell you the importance of this function in your daily business routine.

I have been with AIA for 4 years now and a year ago I found Dan at Remote Data Backups who provided us with a quick and easy solution to this ongoing problem. This letter is to provide any of you with the same concerns, the opportunity to evaluate Dan's company and have the same opportunity to have this valuable service. It has work well for Highwire and I cannot say enough about the ease of the service. I no longer have to be concerned about what if something happens. We can be up and running within hours of any problem.

Good luck for the New Year and check this out at www.remotedatabackups.com.

Sincerely,

Daniel,

As an "old dog" trying to keep up with all the new tricks of doing business by computer rather than the paper and pencil world in which I grew up, I appreciate having you covering my back. Since signing on with you several months ago I have been lucky and, (knock on wood) I hope I can go a lot longer without needing to call you in a panic. But I sleep much better at night knowing that my work every day is safe and ready for reinstall if disaster strikes. Thanks also for your patience with my ignorance while we were setting up. I was really very surprised how quick and easy it was, and would encourage all other "computer dummies" to give your service a try.

Thanks for your support.

— Gary Thompson, AIA - Custom Innovations

Obviously a true believer in our disaster prevention service.

The only 2 things that right now are giving me peace of mind in my life are: 1st- learning about Jehova by studying the Bible , and 2nd- Knowing that my each day my computer data is with Remote Data Backup and Dan Dugal.

While I’ve been fortunate enough not to have any mishaps with my systems, it is a great relief to know that should I encounter any problem, large or small, it’s with a quick phone call that it will be resolved and restored. There is no price I could put on the information I store in my computer. It would only take one circumstance for me to lose everything and I’m not willing to take that risk. I would highly recommend Remote Data Backups.

A happy AIA franchisee who sleeps well at night knowing that his data is secure with our online file backups service.

Our experience with Remote Data Backups has been outstanding. Previously we endured the hassle of backing up our large files onto tape...and many times we would not remember to perform the backup...or we would elect to "forget" to do the backup.

It would take 15-25 minutes of time ...so it was more than inconvenience to back up files...It also was costly to take the time as that time could have been devoted to customers and more business.

We sleep more comfortably knowing that our data is protected ...and it's an AUTOMATIC every night procedure, at less than a buck a day... This data "insurance policy", will save us 5 to 10 times the cost, IF we ever had to recreate lost files.

The owner, Dan Dugal, personally gets involved on start up and any support issues.

— Brian Hogan, AIA - Owner

An extremely grateful Adventures in Advertising franchisee who lost her data and she was able to easily restore it. Her timing in using our disaster prevention service couldn't have been better.

Dear FO's,

I want everyone to know that I have been looking at Dan's Remote Data Backup service for five or six months now and finally decided to sign up last week thank goodness! I put it off for a couple reasons, one my IT guy told me we should wait and hook up our 12/24 expensive tape back up, and two have been very busy.

FOUR days after we signed up with Dan we lost our accounting data!!!!! I called Dan on a Sunday and we restored the accounting only data in less than fifteen minutes!!! I know for certain my tape back up would have never been this expedient and user friendly. It would have required a call to my IT guy who most likely would not have been available and it would have required hours worth of work. Plus if I forgot to put the tape in one day most likely I would not have had the current data.

I am a firm believer in Dan's service and completely convinced this is the way to go.

I plan on selling my expensive tape back up and software on ebay .

Have a good day!

— Linda Slater-Dowling, AIA - ASAP Promotions

An Adventures In Advertising franchisee who 2nds the motion that our online service is the best out there.

I want to let everyone know that I 2nd Linda's confidence in Dan and Remote Data Backups. I've only been on board for a short time and his customer service and responsiveness is beyond good. I wish I had made the commitment a few months ago before my computer disaster.

— Steve Gelrod, AIA - franchisee

An Adventures in Advertising franchisee who is a firm believer in our online backup service.

You know what they say about insurance... when you need it, it's worth every dollar. Knowing that if and when something may happen that would necessitate usage of Remote Data Backups Services gives me a piece of mind that really is comforting.

Running a small business without an IT Department, Remote Data Backups services offer the assurance that should something happen, I will be inconvenienced for only the amount of time it takes to have them restore my system. That kind of insurance is invaluable to a small business entrepreneur.

The many success stories I've heard from some of the other franchise owners only serves to reiterate the importance of using Remote Data Backups, Inc., as a service provider.

Regards,

— Nancy Hales, AIA - The Hales Agency

An Adventures in Advertising franchisee who had two data losses in the past and who now knows the importance of automatic offsite backup systems.

After experiencing two crashes with both ending up as weekend marathon sessions till the wee hours of the mornings, I finally got smart and called Dan Dugal with Remote Data Backups. Both of our crashes ruined weekends, created tremendous stress and cost significantly. I no longer have to worry about a virus or a hardware problem causing me undo pain and expense.

Remote Data Backups, is great insurance and a great investment that leads to great peace of mind.

Best Regards,

— Gary Youngberg, AIA - CAS, Promoplans

A client used Remote Data Backups' Easy System Restore feature to restore his critical Outlook Express data.

Just a quick note to say over the weekend I was unable to open any emails or send any emails in Outlook Express 6.0, and I dreaded having to reinstall the program (as suggested by the error message) because it would mean talking to a robotic support person at Microsoft or Dell reading scripts off of a computer screen, and 10 hours later I may or may not have solved the problem. Instead, I finally used the Easy System Restore function you described as probably the most valuable tool, and sure enough, the program worked, and my Outlook Express 6.0 works smoothly once again. Thanks Dan, and keep up the good work!

— Angus L. Garfield, Adventures in Advertising - owner

A backup customer likes how easy and safe our data protection service is.

No one likes having problems with their computer, that's for sure! Within weeks of signing up for your service, I had a hard drive crash. I assumed the process of recovering files would be somehow difficult or confusing and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it really was. Having your service made the recovery process simpler and faster. And, knowing I had the most recent data all in one safe place helped a great deal!

Thanks so much.

— Laurie DeTurk, AIA Stellar Promotions

An Adventures In Advertising owner knows Remote Data Backups is a solid way protect her data against natural disasters like Hurricane Rita.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and now with Rita bearing down on us here in Houston, I decided that I should not let another day go by without everything being backed up on my computer. I emailed Dan Dugal at Remote Data Backups. He called me back within 15 minutes of my e mail and walked me through this process. It was so painless and it took less than 5 minutes. You can reach Dan at 866-7-BACKUP or 970-407-1490 or email him. I highly recommend this to any and all of you. Peace of mind is a great thing!

— Barbara Sears, AIA/Diamond B Promotions

An Adventures in Advertising franchisee is glad to have RDB.

COSS Technology Group

A happy business owner was able to performa a full system restore to remove spyware from his computer.

I was frustrated after my kids were playing on my computer. I have found out that kid friendly sites a littered with spyware. As I start my computer in the morning, I was battling spy wear pop-ups and performance degradation, it was a real nuisance. I bought a spy wear product that I would run twice a day and some of the spy wear would find a way to "dodge" being eliminated. After a couple of days I remembered the HEAL function Remote Data Backup offers. I rolled back my operating system to before the spy wear problem and my PC was normal again. I highly recommend Remote Data Backups- Get the HEAL function, it is worth it.

— John Clark, COSS Technology Group - CEO

A happy IT consultant sees Remote Data Backups as an excellent fit into our service offerings.

Stencils Online

Stencils Online finds our backup service fast, friendly, secure and cost effective for small companies.

I wanted to tell you that I think your service is amazing!

It took me only a few hours to backup every piece of data that I have saved for 8 years.

You have given me peace of mind that I have never had before.

I have collectively spent thousands of dollars on cd/dvd burners, tape backups and zip drives that require too much of my attention and time and they have never quite worked as the reliable backup system I had intended.

I appreciate the fact that you can work with companies as small as mine, who have the same amount of security in their data but do not have a budget for many other backup services I have seen on the web.

I am also very impressed with your customer service. While most online companies try to hide their phone number so they are not bothered with calls, your company makes contacting you quite easy.

— Fred McAllister, Stencils Online - Owner

Carriker Asset Management

The President of Computer Moms franchiseee Joe McLean's networking groups compared Remote Data Backups with his former provider, X-Drive, and provides an informed endorsement.

I went ahead and downloaded the trial of the 10GB remote data backup service yesterday. I did it through the CMIT link you emailed me, and I put your name where it asked me for an affiliate name at one point. Let me know if I need to do anything else to get you credit for it.

As it turns out, my whole hard drive does fit in the 10GB allotment with room to spare for more data. I started the initial backup yesterday afternoon and let it go overnight. It finished this morning and my whole machine is backed up. I did an incremental backup after doing some work on the computer, and was very pleased to see that it only took a few minutes to update. I will be backing up in the middle of the night daily, so I anticipate the program being almost totally transparent to me.

I can't tell you how pleased I am with it so far. It is MUCH better than Xdrive. The user interface is simple and intuitive, and I had no problems uploading or downloading files between my computer and the remote storage server. There is some really smart functionality there between the nifty data compression, automatic detection of files that have changed and need updating, etc. It even recognizes common parts of the operating system and gets them from their servers rather than taking more time to get redundant information off of my machine.

Thanks so much for turning me on to this. I will let everybody I can know that you have the solution for backing up a whole computer or even a server.

— Jake Carriker, Carriker Asset Management

A happy Remote Data Backups user found our data disaster service so easy and invaluable that he signed up for the affiliate program and is having great success providing it to his appreciative clients.

I just wanted to compliment you on your service and most recently your affiliate program. I have been using your service now for a couple of years and find it easy to set-up and more importantly invaluable when the inevitable happens and your data disappears. Remote Data Backups backs up my data every night without me having to do anything. The one time that I did need to access the backup to retrieve data, it was easy to use and it worked great.

Now I have become an affiliate of Remote Data Backups and have some my clients using the service. The Affiliate Program is set-up well and even provides a customized web site for me to send my clients to. My clients appreciate the fact that I am offering greater service to them and showing them what is available to them that they can use in their business. Great job!

Vista Senior Living, Inc.

Remote Data Backups helped a happy client recover from data corruption in a few minutes after Dell and AOL reps told her to completely start over again.

I signed up for your service a few weeks ago, not thinking that I would actually need to use it (at least anytime soon). Well, it turned out that my computer began freezing up, and after much trouble-shooting Dell told me that I would need to re-install my operating system and all of my data. I called your service (spoke with Larry) and he was able to identify the problem and gave me instructions on how to fix it (turned out it was a problem with my internet service provider). I had my computer back up and running within minutes instead of having to go through the process of starting over again. Was I ever impressed! I addition to having such great knowledge, Larry was also incredibly helpful and great to work with. Thank you!

— Terri Sult, Vista Senior Living, Inc.

Prepaid Legal

A legal consultant appreciates Remote Data Backups' easy file restore feature and free 24/7 support.

RDB saved my rear when the computer got a virus, and became inoperable when I was in Philly last summer. The machine had to be totally cleaned out...and because I had the back up service, my data was restored in less than a day. Give Dan a call...he actually answers the phone - and seems to be available 24/7 - he always returns my call within minutes or hours.

— Barnard Sackett, Prepaid Legal

Expense Reduction Consulting, inc.

An expense reduction consultant experienced the value Remote Data Backups' automated backups and easy file recovery after accidentally deleting an important Outlook file.

I cannot express how glad I am to have met Dan Dugal at the recent IFA convention. I was so impressed with his service that I decided to take him up on his 30 day free trial offer immediately after the show. I never thought that I would actually have to use it to recover my data 3 days later!

I accidentally deleted my main Outlook file while transferring it to my laptop and I suddenly found myself in a very precarious situation because many of my important contacts and documents are stored in Outlook. I was literally in a panic.

Dan personally answered the phone on a Sunday morning and walked me through a very simple recovery. The whole process worked flawlessly. I cannot say enough about the value of his service, the importance of performing regular backups and having the ability to easily restore critical lost files.

— Victor Ronder, Expense Reduction Consulting, inc. - Owner

Chotzi

"RDB has been my insurance, my reassurance, my saviour", says one grateful client.

You saved my life for the third time!

8pm, 4th of July weekend, after a traumatic crash where I lost everything and had to reformat computer from scratch - you guys answered on the first ring and talked me patiently through retrieving all my lost data. Not like it's so hard to do, but when you lose all your stuff, panic kind of overrides reason for a while.

RDB has been my insurance, my reassurance, my saviour for about two years now. Easy, WELL worth the price, good for the irresponsible and disorganized type who would NEVER get around to backing up themselves, and besides, think of all those discs!

I recommend this to anyone who's ever put a thought on the screen. Thanks!

— Jennifer Rosen, Chotzi

An IT affiliate thanked us for printing free customized glossy brochures for her to hand out to her clients.

Many thanks Dan – I appreciate your continued support

(And a follow-up...) The fliers came late Thursday and I found them Friday just in time to take to a meeting! Thank you so much. They look great and I will get them out to the rest of our team this week! We appreciate you thinking of these for us.

Computers Without Fear

An IT technician says Remote Data Backups makes his job easier.

Remote Data Backups has made my job as a technician/consultant easier, I don’t have to deal with tape backups, I don’t have to train people to rotate tapes, I don’t have to deal with backup issues.

We have had many customers sign up for Remote Data Backups just because they wouldn’t have to worry about tapes any more.

Our customers backed up for 2 reasons, human error, and disaster recovery. Very few people would bring tapes home, so disaster recovery was non-existent. With Remote Data Backups, our customers don’t have to worry about anything, and they are protected against human error, and disaster recovery.

— Chris Toews, MCSA, Computers Without Fear

— Chris Hadlock, NetResults, LLC

An independent IT consultant says RDB gives his clients a "warm and fuzzy feeling about data security.

In addition to using RemoteDataBackups myself, I have an increasing number of customers with a newfound “warm and fuzzy” feeling about data security. RemoteDataBackups has fitted in nicely with my offerings at all customers. In general, backup strategy is one of the key items on my standard checklist alongside Windows updates, Antivirus, Adware/Spyware and Firewall protection.

The sliding scale makes it affordable for anyone from a residential customer thru small to mid-size businesses and the key differentiator of automated, encrypted OFF-SITE backups (with access from anywhere) always gets attention.

— Pete Ardren,

— Justin Kaiser, Illiana On Call

ScourTek

An affiliate says RDB helps relieve nightmares about past data loss trauma.

My business experience over the past 26 years has included bank operations and controllerships of successful, privately held companies. In all of these positions, my responsibilities included corporate, customer, and client data management. As a result I developed a tremendous respect for the data back-up process.

Sure, I thought I had it all figured out by assigning an employee to perform a daily back-up of critical information. To have a duplicate copy of the media retained off-site for disaster recovery purposes. To have the best hardware such as CD and Zip drives available to make the operation efficient. But boy was I wrong. Employee complacency and the typical hardware failures taught me a lesson.

I experienced the most strenuous period in my business career when we lost our system to corrupt software and I faced the prospect of a complete system restore. I’m prepared I thought but that was so far from the truth. My office employee had previously and unilaterally decided to perform only weekly backups and in fact performed the back-ups on Fridays, if she remembered or wasn’t leaving early. Media rotation? Started out ok but dwindled to using one zip disk which had failed from age, over-use and general handling. Amount of data backed-up? ZERO! Don’t trust your data to human or hardware elements.

The result? I still have nightmares. The loss of this data nearly closed our company as we tried tirelessly to recreate our database of customer information alone through paper. We got close, but it was never right again. Financials and corporate documents? Gone! The employee? Gone!

Today my company ScourTek, an on-site computer and office equipment cleaning company in its fourth year, also offers data back-up services to its growing list of corporate clients. Whether a client has a single PC office or 100 PC’s, I educate them that data back-up is just as important. The loss of critical data must be prevented. That is where (RDB) Remote Data Backup comes in.

RDB, with its automated, user-definable, over-the-internet, secure data back-up services is miles ahead of its competition. Forget employee and hardware intervention to get the job done. That’s considered legacy methodology by today’s standards. Using RDB, after a simple installation procedure, data back-up is now as easy as shutting off the office lights at days end, going home and relaxing. Your data is safe! Guaranteed!

The service, pricing, and 24-hour FREE phone support makes RDB the perfect choice. I tell my clients…don’t wait until you need it. Install it today and hope you never need it.

— Michael J. LaRocque, ScourTek

A new backup reseller likes our easy to use software, price and free 30 day trial.

I am a new franchise owner and am still getting a firm grasp of all the services, setting client appointments, finances, and all the other daily activities to getting a business started. What I have noticed with the prospects and clients I have talked to so far is that they all recognize the importance of having their mission critical business files backed up. Some go as far as to have some sort of onsite system. I’ve seen things like floppy disks, tapes, CD/DVD’s, and external hard drives. For the most part, these are onsite solutions that don’t address what happens if there is a local disaster such as fire, flood, earthquake, or whatever else could and eventually will happen. Most of these clients don’t even know that their existing systems work since they’ve never tried to do a restore.

What I really like about this product is that it’s extremely easy to setup, extremely secure, redundant, and priced right. And, on top of all those great features, the customer gets to try it free for 30 days to see for themselves before committing to a subscription. Comments I get back from clients are that this is great and really takes the worry out of Backups.

Lincolnshire Cruises

A business owner knows protecting her important data with automatic offsite backups is "a super idea".

Setting up a remote backup of our data which was a super idea. Up until that point we were only doing backups onsite which didn’t protect us from natural disasters, fire, theft, and hardware problems that would happen here in the office. We have a software program that we’ve been using for about four years that hosts a lot of information on our clients, their history, and billing; if we lose that, then we’re dead. To me, it makes a heck of a lot more sense to pay a monthly fee to make sure our computer network is up and running than to have to pay thousands of dollars to fix a problem that could have been prevented in the first place.

— Randi Closson, Lincolnshire Cruises

Wenk Insurance Agency

I can’t tell you how much of a relief it is to know that they is keeping close watch over our data 24/7.

A client likes our backup solution better than the competition.

I appreciate your emails and phone calls- both of you. I have checked out your information and indeed Norton’s back up system is not for me.

Lucky I didn’t pay anymore for the upgrade so its no bid deal. However I did test it out and it doesn’t work as presented. Once you back up- it will not clear itself if you backed up the wrong files and it maximizes your backup space and tells you the 1st day its fine, and the 2nd day and then the 3rd day you are full. So after hours of talking to them I am going to stay with you guys.

— Stasi Sherlock ,

A new backup reseller likes our turnkey solution and personal service.

Thanks for your call yesterday. It was great taking with you and really I appreciate your attention and dedication to your new resellers.

I was delighted at how easy it was to configure our partner site, and what a full featured site it is! The knowledgebase and support sections alone are worth their weight in gold. This is truly an easy, turnkey solution to one of our client’s biggest headaches – backups – or more accurately, no backups!

Attorney

An attorney is impressed with our responsive and helpful live 24/7 tech support.

Remote Data Backups has given me more peace of mind about preservation of my data and system, than any other service I have used or tried. It seems that live tech support is always needed outside normal business hours. You offer live tech support 24/7, and the few times I have had to call, the phone was answered promptly by helpful and very knowledgeable technicians. My last experience was 8-29-08 very late at night, trying to retrieve my Quicken data file. It was not where it was supposed to be. I called your number, Dan promptly answered. He said that with no advance notice Quicken had changed where the data is to be stored. He told me to look in the Intuit folder for Quickbooks (an entirely different software program) and there it was. Many thanks to Dan.

Thank you for keeping me informed on all the great services you offer our clients...

I do have to admit to you that if we had our programs backed up we would not have had to work as hard as we have had too. So we have become an example to all our customers about your products... we will be installing the software soon and we thank you for the generous 6 month extension. and we are surely going to add the experience onto our website.

I know we can do some great business here, especially after the disasters we have had one after the other.

Thanks again

HMR

A client is ecstatic about our responsive, personal support.

Ok, I don’t know where to start since I’m so thrilled with the service I just received from Remote Data Backups. Weeks ago, I had exceeded the limit on the plan I’ve had with remote data backups for the past several years. With my business as crazy as it’s been over the past few weeks, I have not had a second to call to upgrade my account.

I finally called this afternoon (a Saturday) as I had just been reminded of the issue in the daily email reminder I’ve been receiving from RDBUs since day 1 of exceeding my limit. I had been procrastinating on making this call since I was fully expecting to be on hold for hours and be directed to a foreign country… but, the service I received was quite the opposite. I called the help number listed on the home page only to have it picked up on the first ring by Dan, the CEO! While he was not able to help due to the fact that I couldn’t find my account number, he took my name and telephone number and said he’d call back. Well, about 30 minutes later, a tech support extraordinaire, by the name of Matt (came into work on his day off just to help me) and had already upgraded my plan before placing the call to me! He walked me through how to manually start the backup process and now I’m on my way to peace of mind.

Owning a small business of my own, it’s so nice to see a company care so much about its customers as I do mine. Thank you for a great experience.

— Meg Hessel, HMR

An accountant client appreciates our friendly 24/7 customer service.

Matt,

I was amazed when I received a phone call from you acknowledging my upgrade just minutes after making the online request; especially on a Saturday! Wow, that’s customer service! Also, thanks so much for the courtesy, patience, and professionalism you displayed while walking me through the upgrade! Unfortunately, it is not very often anymore you are truly satisfied with the service you receive and it makes an incredible difference when you do.

Thanks for all you do! Keep up the great work!

— Susan J. Keeton, CPA, CFE,

A new affiliate sees the value in our online backup partnership.

A client was impressed by our responsive, free phone support in a time of crisis.

I am writing to thank you for the quick, professional response provided by Remote Data Backups. You were there when we needed you! My firm has been a customer for the last 2+ years and we have never needed to retrieve files until today.

When I came in this morning, our servers had crashed and our files were inaccessible. Of course, this happened on a day when we were trying to complete a large transaction. We called your toll free number and your technical support team quickly helped us download replacement software from your web site and retrieve all of our critical data for the closing.

I think you can safely count on us being customers for life!

— Scott Warren, - AMCTechs

A backup client appreciates our helpful and responsive customer service.

It's a real pleasure to work with the knowledgable and courteous professionals at Remote Data Backups. This week we installed a new computer and converted to Windows Vista, and in the process of doing this we overran our backup limit. This was picked up immediately by RDB, and Jason Smith quickly emailed us the software link needed to make our account Vista compatible. Once this was done, Larry Sanders very skillfully got us back in operation and backing up all our needed data completely. That's great service!

— Nanette Hartley,

A new backup affiliate likes our Welcome Packet.

Thank you Daniel D. -

The flyers, other documents and nifty light-up bouncy-ball arrived early this week. This is a very helpful package - especially the 9-page document topped by the "Checklist for RDB Resellers" [Welcome Packet?]

I have studied then hand-delivered flyers to 6 potential customers yesterday and today; fingers are crossed.

Included are: my dentist, my past employer, two IT Dept. heads [at the area's largest companies], a Real Estate Broker [who purchased a data conversion / transfer from me] and our privately-run sanitary service owner.

Thanks again for the kick-start.

— Jerome Beesley,

Thanks. I got the package today. I like this product and I think it will help us both increase our business.
