Operating Systems

Do you often have files open on your computer whilst the GBData remote backup software is running a backup?
With GBData the backup software is able to successfully backup all open files located on the PC on which the software is running.
The software utilises a Windows process called “shadow Copy” to take a copy of the open files, so that you may continue to work on them, while the backup runs in the background.

GBData online backup software can be installed on multple PC’s without a problem.  For instance how about a couple of PC’s, a server, a couple of laptops, all needing backup?
With the GBData online backup software and one backup account you can safely protect them all, you just install the service, and create a new backup set. If you want assistance on how to do this, drop us a line and we will happily call you and walk you through the process.

No problem. At the end of the online backup trial, your data storage limit will automatically be reset to 500M, and you are free to use this for as long as you wish. (Yes you can get something for nothing!).  The only criteria is that you must actually continue to use the service.
If you do not, after 60 days the account is automatically deleted. If at any point you wish to upgrade to a paid account with a higher limit, then simply drop us an email and we can arrange this immediately.
