Remote Backup Systems, the founders of the online backup industry and developers of the RBackup and Mercury OEM Online Backup platforms today announced the activation of its Emergency Backup Hot Site for use by its Service Providers affected by the 8.9 magnitude earthquake that hit Japan this morning.
Remote Backup Systems has offered this business-saving service to their licensees dating back to hurricane Hugo in 1989. This resource is available to online backup service providers in areas who are in danger of a natural disaster affecting their data center.
By activating the Emergency Hot Site for RBackup, Service Providers in Japan, Hawaii, and the West Coast of the USA can temporarily transfer their traffic to the RBS Memphis data center with little or no effect on their business operations. When the disaster is over and the providers’ servers go back online, they can download the backups and resume normal business.

Built into Remote Backup Systems multi-award winning flagship product, RBackup, is an additional special feature that will enable a service provider to maintain normal business in the event of a disaster. The RBS Server Locator enables you to operate an RBS Server on an inexpensive non-dedicated Internet connection with a dynamic IP address anywhere in the world. No other RBS company offers this cutting-edge service.
In an outage of Internet service, Providers can simply move their equipment to an alternate location with Internet service, and the Server Locator will seamlessly redirect their clients within seconds to the new location.
