    Prices

    Prices for Cloud Servers are based on the size of the Server you need. The Servers have different amounts of available bandwidth, CPU speeds, processor types, and RAM. All operating systems are Windows Server 2012 R2 Editions. Select the Server for your anticipated load.

    RBackup uses one License for every computer being backed up.

    Per GB prices are for compressed data as it is stored on the RBS Server. These file sizes are typically 1/4 to 1/2 the native size of your customers' files. You will charge your customers by native file size, thereby effectively multiplying your storage capacity (or reducing your storage price by 1/4 to 1/2.) Typically 1GB of your customers' data is stored as about 400MB on your Cloud Server.

    Cost/Profit Example: Backing up 10 Servers and 20 Workstations, with a total of
    500GB of native file size.

    Licenses Used: 80 (4 per Server, and 2 per Workstation)$120
    Storage Space Used:125 GB (estimate, 1/4 of Native file size)$8.75
    Monthly Rent Fee:$150
    Total Cost$278.75

    If you charge your customers $89/month per server, and $49/month per workstation, and give them 30GB of storage per Server and 10GB of storage per workstation, you will bill your customers $1,870 per month. Your cost for your Cloud Server is $278.75 per month. Your profit is $1,591.25 per month. Your profit increases as your customers use more disk space.

Service Providers do not have access to the Cloud Server's console (All management is done through the Web Manager/E-Commerce Interface.) Data compression ratios cannot be accurately predicted. Typical data reduction through compression is 1/2 to 1/4, but some files (pictures, sound, movies, etc.) cannot be compressed at all.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What are the technical deails of the Cloud Servers?

    What is an "ECU?" This is our way of describing how much computing power each Server has. 1 ECU is roughly equivalent to 1/4 the power of one Intel Xeon E5430 4 core processor running at 2.66GHz. This is enough to run an RBS Server with about 50 customers.

    These look like small servers. Are they adequate? Yes. RBS' Server software is very light and uses few resources. You typically do not need a "big" server until you need to service more than 250 customers.

    Can I have a bigger server, or one with customized virtual hardware? Yes. There's an extra fee (and maybe a different monthly fee) to custom engineer a Cloud Server. Our standard Cloud Servers are launched quickly using pre-engineered images, so they cost less to launch.

    Will I have access to my Cloud Server's console through RDP? No. You will have access to your Server through the Web Manager and E-Commerce PlugIns, and you will have an FTP account that you can use to edit the website.

    Will I be able to install other software on my Cloud Server? No. Cloud Servers are reserved only for running RBackup software.

    Is there a demo of a Cloud Server? Yes, there is a public demo server at the following link: http://rbs-software.com

    What happens when I need more storage space? RBS provisions storage space as needed. We monitor the available drive space in your Cloud Server and automatically add additional space when you have used up one half of the space you are allocated. You will always have more available drive space than you need. You will not be charged for drive space that you do not use.

    What about security? Can anyone see or steal my data? No. Data stored in your Cloud Server is completely encrypted and cannot be read. Even file names and folder names are encrypted.

    Can viruses attach to my data in the Cloud? No. Files are enclosed in secure, signed packets. The Client software itself verifies the signatures before restoring.

    What kind of software will my Cloud Server run? All Cloud Servers run the latest version of RBackup software.

    How do I upgrade my Cloud Server when RBS issues an upgrade? RBS upgrades your Cloud Server automatically whenever we release a new version. There may be up to sixty seconds of downtime, but customers will not notice it because the Client software automatically resumes its connection without interruption. RBS issues an upgrade about every sixty days.
