GeeksForRelief.com Launches Online Data Backup Consortium, Provides Free Remote Data Backup Services in Hurricane Zones

    MEMPHIS, Tenn., June 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Remote Backup Systems, Inc.
(RBS), developer and distributor of RBackup(TM) online backup software on
the web at http://remote-backup.com, today announced the launch of a free
service dedicated to proactively protecting computer data in hurricane
zones within the U.S.
    The service, named GeeksForRelief.com, is a consortium of professional
remote data backup providers committed to providing free online backup
services for businesses and households located in coastal communities
throughout the Southeastern and Atlantic United States.
    Online backup service companies taking part in the GeeksForRelief.com
project normally charge a recurring monthly fee for their data backup
services. As part of this program, the service providers will provide from
2 Gigabytes to 10 Gigabytes of free online backup space to those in the
affected areas for 120 days after the individual or organization activates
the service.
    "In light of last year's violent storms and related data losses, our
licensees felt it was important to provide free backup services to
unprotected businesses and households along the U.S. Gulf Coast and Eastern
Seaboard," commented Tommy Gardner, Director of Sales and Marketing for
Remote Backup Systems. "By offering free online data backup services to
those in need during hurricane season, we collectively hope to spare many
businesses and individuals the trauma, cost, and inconvenience associated
with losing valuable computer data."
    Geeks for Relief are comprised of seasoned professional data backup
companies, many whom also specialize in other computer and technology
services. Online backup service providers interested in joining Geeks for
Relief may visit: http://geeksforrelief.com/joinus.htm .
