What People Say About BackupChain… “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. Watt Key, Jr., Director of IT, Jackson, Key Practice Solutions, L.L.C. Watt also wrote the book and script for the Hollywood movie “Alabama Moon”. Check out his Wikipedia page See more testimonials
