Back2Go partners with Iron
Mountain
Back2Go has partnered with Iron Mountain, a world leader
in data protection. |
| |
As part of the
Back2Go partnership with Iron Mountain we have moved our
customers from the SunGard servers that BackupMyStuff
has used for the last 4 years to servers hosted by Iron
Mountain. |
| |
|
| |
The data center
move has enabled us to introduce new services to our
customers including account self managment, the ability
to upgrade and downgrade accounts when you like and a
major software upgrade to version 8.0 of the software. |
| |
| |
A complete
rewrite of the software has been completed and the new
version is less intrusive and has a more user-friendly
appearance, yet retains its unbeaten security and
reliability. Over 800 companies and 2 million users now
rely on the software to protect their data and you are
one of them! |
