dl What People Say About BackupChain…

“BackupChain is one of those rare gems you must look a little to find, but once you do you won’t know how you existed without to protect your data. Unlike so many other vendors, here you are not the alpha/beta tester, but instead you get rock solid code that just works. In the world of greedy subscription licenses, it’s almost nostalgic to pay for perpetual. Combine this with a skilled, knowledgeable, responsive and courteous support team giving you advice and help that is just uncommon nowadays. Again, a gem, and you’ve found it, so stop looking elsewhere.
Welcome home, Administrator.”
Balazs Czviin, Director of IT & Cyber Security, IPA Global, USA
 “BackupChain gives us security and peace of mind for our customers. It is a product that offers very high performance and high recovery reliability when there has been a disaster.
We have had to recover data from our clients after serious disasters, the recovery has been easy, fast and with very satisfactory results.”

Josep Tomàs, IT Manager – Binsoft Informatica.

“I’d looked at other backup products as a solution to our growing virtual server backup needs. These products were simply outside of our budget. Then I found BackupChain which gave me a complete backup solution at a reasonable price. I downloaded the free trial and it did everything as advertised. Not only was it a solid product, they have been so generous and prompt with technical support that I feel guilty I’m not paying them more. I’m sold on these guys. I never imagined the day I would sleep easy over backups.
