FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

December 15, 2008 — Tier 1 IP today announced it has partnered with Remote Data Backups, to provide its customers with the the most cost effective, convenient and secure way to automatically back up their data offsite.

“This is a mission-critical service every business needs,” Howson said. “We are excited to be able to integrate Remote Data Backups into our core offerings. They have an impressive list of clients who praise their reliability — the most important aspect in data protection — and ease of use.”

One in 4 PC users suffer from data loss each year, according to a Gartner Group study. Seven of 10 small firms experiencing a major data loss go out of business within a year (DTI/PriceWaterhouse Coopers).

“We know how frequent and damaging data loss can be, and this is the best way to prevent it,” Howson added. “Backups need to be automatic, secure and offsite. With RDB, you can rest assured your data is safe.”

Clients are encouraged to take a free 30-day trial at http://tier1ip.databu.com. Setup is simple and takes just a few minutes.

After the initial backup, nightly automatic backups compress and securely transfer only new files and block-level changes, for fast, efficient backups with minimal bandwidth usage and transfer time. With one click, clients can also run backups on-demand any time, on Windows exit, or on network connection (great for laptops) backups.

Users can retrieve files via the desktop agent or securely online through the Remote File Access feature. Easy System Restore provides a full system backup to protect the operating system, progam files and registry settings.
