The developer and distributor of RBackup™ online backup software on the web at http://remote-backup.com, Remote Backup Systems, Inc, recently congratulated some of the new entrants into the online backup market.

    The company, which offers online backup solutions for use by commercial remote backup service providers, projects that these organizations will undoubtedly raise the visibility of online backup service providers worldwide - thereby benefiting RBS' own global network of over 8000 licensees in 68 countries. Citing the recent entry of Symantec, IBM, and WebEx, among others, into the bustling online backup services market, RBS views these new entrants as further validation of the market they have been serving for twenty years.

    Tommy Gardner, Director of Sales and Marketing for RBS, stated: "These companies have excellent marketing resources and have leveraged them for global brand recognition. We feel that their entry into this market is a strong indication of the revenue potential of remote data backup services, and will ultimately benefit those who are already offering it."

    The balance of the company's sales are to organizations that wish to contain their online backup processes in-house, and use the RBackup software to safely back up data to a company-owned offsite server. Gardner said that the bulk of RBS' sales are directly to VARs, ISPs, and other technology service organizations throughout the world that utilize the RBackup solutions to offer turnkey, branded online backup services to their customers.

    Gardner added: "We welcome the visibility that these companies will bring to the service, as our experience tells us that businesses are typically most interested in using a remote backup service provider that is geographically near them Our network of global licensees is uniquely positioned to provide localized service in virtually every corner of the Earth."

    The company is the a global leader in the distribution of Client and Server solutions to effectively deploy a high reliability, high security Internet-based online backup service, and a robust range of support services including national customer referrals. They created the world's first online backup software for microcomputers, which has been available to the public since 1991. With over 8000 remote backup servers active in 68 countries, RBS created the online data backup industry and leads the market with experience, support and innovation.
