Why the Software Was Built
Whereas 90% of small businesses say that they intend to backup daily, fewer than 40% of small businesses actually do backup daily. Whereas 91% of consumers say they intend to backup daily, less than 10% of consumers do backup daily. The problem? Existing backup solutions require too much effort to use – and cost too much to install. If you're working 12 hours a day - its costing you money to backup. You take 10 minutes a day to perform traditional backup - and thats time away from selling, from doing inventory, from drafting - or whatever it is you do. Its costing you $20 or $30 or in some cases more per week in time to use your traditional backup system. And that backup system probably isn't that reliable.

SOS is better quality of backup service - for a cheaper price. It brings Big-Business IT best-practice to the little guys.

Existing Backup Solutions Require Software AND Expensive Hardware Traditional backup solutions (as provided by industry giants Veritas and Legato) are often built around backing up data to tape – and/or to other more advanced storage (such as SANs or NAS storage). Thus – serious backup has always been a joint hardware/software proposal – and hefty price tags associated with the required hardware has generally meant that the SME/SOHO and consumer markets have never adopted a standard for data backup. The market is fractured – some SMEs use CDs, some use USB drives, some use tape drives – and alarmingly, many use nothing. None of these systems are satisfactory - given that the one thing that can put most SMEs out of business overnight is data loss - loss of inventory records, financial records, sales records, etc.

Pure-Software Online Backup
With the dramatic breakthroughs in storage technology over recent years, and the collapse of bandwidth prices, it has become economically viable to offer backup over the internet. Now the consumer/SME can outsource the procurement and maintenance of backup hardware – and just install a backup software agent - the SOS Windows Client v1.2.

Because SOS Online Backup requires no up-front capital expenditure by the end-user, the service is very appealing to consumers and SMEs who have previously not been willing to pay the cost associated with advanced backup systems (eg. ~ $2,000 for a decent tape backup system).

SOS Online Backup provides a cost effective, simple, and automated solution to the backup problem faced by many millions of consumers and SMEs around the world.
