BakBone's NetVault: Backup Gives Fat Spaniel Powerful Data Protection for Diverse IT Environment

      Market Leader in Monitoring and Reporting Services for the
 Renewable Energy Industry Relies on NetVault: Backup for Simplified,
                    Cost-Effective Data Protection
SAN DIEGO--(Business Wire)--
BakBone Software(R) (BKBO.PK), the leading provider of
heterogeneous integrated data protection solutions, provides
cost-effective data protection to Fat Spaniel Technologies, greatly
reducing the company's recovery and maintenance times. BakBone's
NetVault(R): Backup is easy to install; works well with Fat Spaniel's
diverse IT environment, which includes both Linux and Windows OS; and
has reduced recovery time from half a day to minutes.

   Fat Spaniel Technologies is the market leader in providing
critical monitoring and reporting services for the renewable energy
industry. As solar electric, solar water heating, wind and other
renewable energy sources become viable energy alternatives, there is a
critical need to ensure that these systems can be remotely monitored,
managed and controlled - over the Internet. With more than 1,300
renewable energy systems in 12 countries and more than 2,000 customers
around the world using Fat Spaniel's monitoring and reporting
services, the company turned to BakBone for a backup solution that was
cost effective, reliable and fast. With such large amounts of critical
data that needs to be accessible 24/7, data integrity and availability
are huge priorities for Fat Spaniel.

   "We needed a backup solution that was able to work with different
varieties of Linux, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux," said Marc
Winner, Fat Spaniel's IT director. "With NetVault: Backup, we are able
to backup our diverse environment. No other vendor has been able to
adapt to the operating systems and applications we run and provide us
with quick recoveries, especially at the enterprise level. Recoveries
that used to take half a day to complete now only take minutes."

   "BakBone provides a system that we don't have to babysit," adds
Winner. "It's a 'set and forget' kind of process. When we are
recovering data, we don't have to monitor the situation; we know it is
working and will not let us down. This gives us more time to handle
other issues in our work space."

   Once Winner decided NetVault: Backup met all his requirements and
provided the best data protection for the company's needs, he was able
to easily install the software. According to Winner, "We were able to
download and test the product from the Web site very quickly. Other
solutions don't provide this kind of service. Not only was it easy to
install, I was able to train new employees on the software quickly,
allowing me more time to work on other projects."

   "Flexible and easy-to-use data management is a critical element in
IT environments," said Jeff Dresher, vice president of Marketing,
BakBone. "With easy-to-install backup solutions, we can help end users
quickly launch recoveries and focus on other projects. With NetVault:
Backup, IT administrators can confidently run recoveries within
minutes without monitoring the situation."
