Backup.com.au is often called upon to help a client install software, or retrieve data and the fastest way for us to do that is to take control of the client's computer via the internet.

We do that using an appliance from Bomgar. With a Bomgar box we can remote control any Windows workstation or server, Linux or Mac machine. We can even remote control Windows Mobile phones and Blackberries.

Hopefully one day we will be able to remote control an iPhone too.

Contact Bomgar to find out more about the best appliance for providing remote control support for your clients.

Like many businesses you may have engaged your I.T. consultant or web-designer to register a domain name for them.

Have you ever had a close look at your domain name's registration details?

In many cases we have found that the domain name has been registered with the consultants details as the owner isntead of the true business owner!

Need to keep seven years of data? You can now do so with the latest release of our Online Backup Manager which allows you to perform a local backup of your data before the offsite backup commences.

This local backup can have its own custom retention policy, and can even be set to run as a separate local backup only, without affecting your online backup quota.

If you could benefit from this new feature, call us on 1300 BACKUP

Backup.com.au has moved into new offices in the very heart of Adelaide. We can literally hear the buskers in the mall and if they are no good we can throw magnetic backup tapes at them. That's all that backup tapes are good for these days.

Here is a before and after picture of the new office. We think it's
awesome...
