My Laptop died this Saturday. As I was working on the videos for the backup client we release today. For a second I panicked as I thought about the information that was stored in that laptop. Then I remembered I use my own backup service and felt a little better. Now I have done a lot of testing and development and I know this service works, but this was the first time I had ever had to use the client in a real world situation. I bought a new laptop and after installing the major applications I needed to work I install the Empyreal Systems OnlineBackup client and chose the disaster recovery option. Here is the really cool part. My old laptop was Windows XP Pro, but my new laptop is Windows Vista Home Premium....guess what? All my data was still restored and the Online Backup client works with Vista :L) You all will be glad I got a new laptop as well because new videos will be on a cleaner desktop...

We manage a global workforce with only 4 people. So being able to help automate and insure important data from our offices in China or our National sales force is very important to us. We have tried other solutions but usually we found that we could not keep up with the management required to successfully implement and maintain them. With Empyreal Systems Online Backup service we just install the client and make a few setting changes and voila it work like a charm.
My business was in a multi-tenant building that was intentionally set on fire by a person in another company. No one was allowed in the building for weeks until the arson investigation was completed an the restoration company was hired to remove equipment. Because of this employees were unable to do there jobs and the true damage was not evident until much later. Servers were damaged by water. Backups destroyed as well as paper hard copied of customer information. We now have a DR plan that includes off site remote backup with Empyreal Systems. If we had this in the first place we would have been back in business in days not months.
We have a global workforce and recently we had a laptop with sensitive information stolen in a third world country from one of our executives. Even though we have roaming profiles the data on the laptop was lost because the user had not synced properly with the servers. If we had Empyreal Systems remote backup solution we would not have had this problem.
We never found back up so easy... we manage a large volume of data and this is the right tool for us.
