(Memphis, TN June 9, 2010) Remote Backup Systems, founders of the online backup industry and developers of the RBackup and Mercury OEM Online Backup platforms today announced the status of its upcoming major release, RBackup Version Eleven, currently in beta testing.
“We don’t usually announce software releases early as release dates are contingent on how final testing goes, but this trial has been encouraging and as we near the end of our testing process, we are ready to start spreading the word and offering pre-sales to those who qualify,” said Remote Backup Systems CEO, Rob Cosgrove. “For the past six months our developers have been eating, breathing, and living this release. We are excited about the many enhancements.”
Cosgrove is speaking of Remote Backup Systems RBackup version 11 which is tentatively scheduled for release later this month. This major release includes many features and upgrades that have Service Providers paying close attention.
One of the most notable differences in this release from v10 is the licensing system, in which “clients” will now be referred to as “credits,” and will allow Service Providers to distribute Client software at a fraction of the previous cost. In addition, RBackup v11 introduces two new client editions, one built for Windows desktop computers, and one for personal computers.
RBackup v11 will offer free trial accounts, something Cosgrove says RBS has wanted to include with its product for some time. Distributing free trial accounts will not affect Service Providers paid credit counts, and will be a useful marketing tool.
In addition to the new version of RBackup, the company will also introduce other new products including Cloud-Drive.com Cloud Mirroring, a feature-filled Web Manager PlugIn providing full Server and user control on the web, and an integrated web based registration, billing, credit card processing, and software deployment system.
