In today's digital world, nothing is more important than your data. Whether it is priceless memories from the pictures of your child or the financial data of your company. Once they are gone, they are gone FOREVER! With that in mind, we have developed a remote backup software that is like no other!

Present to you :: RestoreMax Standard Edition :: An automated PC backup solution.

RestoreMax is not like any generic backup application like the ones you see on ebay or any *MASTER Reseller Rights sellers. RestoreMax is a specially designed software for web hosts.

What's so special about this program?


You are wondering... What is so different with RestoreMax than to all other backup programs. The answer is simple! The fact of knowing your data will be save by disturbing to multiple remote or local locations.

The flexibility of RestoreMax is second to none. You may define multiple locations you want the backup to be stored(whether local and/or remotely) for your backup tasks. You may arrange which of these locations can be used on a specific backup task.

What does this have to do with web hosting?

Let's face it. We cannot deny the fact that the web hosting industry is becoming more competitive day by day. So how can you separate your company from the rest of the companies out there?

Well, why not let your customers know you value their business and they are your company's #1 priority. Your company never wish to see the inevitable happening. Your customers' Hard drive crashing and all their work/memories/dreams are gone along with the dead hard drive. By giving your valued customers a dedicated software(branded to your company) which could potentially let your customer utilize their web space. Giving your customers the sense that your web hosting does MORE than just web hosting; a company that CARE FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS.

Don't restrict yourself to just webhosting! Open yourself to many other business opportunities!

Does it allow backup of remote databases?

Also, does it allow backup of cpanel hosting accounts? (ie: User specifies cpanel un/pw and the backup software will automatically do a "full" backup?)

Thanks.

Hello,

The program runs on the end user's PC. It doesn't run on the server. The purpose is to backup files on the the user's computer.


Let me know if you have any questions

Yes, I see that. However, there are lots of other backup solutions that also run on the client's PC and can backup databases and cpanel accounts.

Since you're obviously on web hosting forums marketing your software to web hosting providers... it makes sense that your software would be able to backup common things that our client's want backed up... like their online databases and cpanel account files.

I understand what you mean. However, the web hosting market is not only restricted to cpanel. Therefore we feel a cpanel integration is not necessary at the moment.

Makes sense. However, the ability to backup databases with a db server/un/pw would be very beneficial, since many hosting customers have databases.

Anyway, the point I'm making is that your software would be more likely to attract hosting company buyers if it has hosting specific features.

There are perhaps a hundred other backup software on the market, some with the same specs as yours.. so without some kind of "reason why yours is better" that appeals to this specific market, your sales might be lower then they could be otherwise.

Consider them ideas for new features. :)

Personally, I think your software looks good.. but I would not provide it to my hosting customers since it does not perform one of the most critical functions they need (which we are constantly reminding them to do) -- backups of their databases and cpanel accounts.

Cheers!
