Bundling a rebranded backup software with FTP/SFTP servers

Backup2 is a suite of six fully brandable backup programs: Backup2 USB, Backup2 DVD, Backup2 FTP, Backup2 Portable, Backup2 HDD and Backup2 NET. The main difference between between each of the programs in this suite is the type of destination they back-up to, as each of them stores the backup on a distinct destination.

Backup2 FTP is an excellent bundling solution for hosting companies that allow their clients to use FTP/SFTP servers for storage purposes. This way from a simple hosting provider you can become an online backup provider, charging your clients not only for simple storage but the security of their data. Contact us at http://www.backup2all.com/en/contact.html to start offering your own rebrandable FTP/SFTP backup solution.

A major benefit of the rebrandable Backup2 FTP program is that you can choose and pay only for the features that are applicable and needed, giving your clients the benefit of using a simple solution, while reducing the implementation costs.

Key benefits for offering a rebranded backup software bundled FTP/SFTP storage services

Increases the value of your service

As a hosting company you can offer your clients an online backup solution by bundling a rebranded version of Backup2 FTP. More and more hosting companies have started offering online backup services, because it’s a market on the rise and most likely your clients are looking already for a solution that would allow to protect their data offsite.

Specific features for FTP/SFTP servers

Backup2 FTP offers features specifically targeted for bundling with FTP/SFTP servers:

• Locked to your own FTP/SFTP servers. We can customize Backup2 FTP so that it will only allow defining a remote FTP/SFTP destination that matches with your server address (i.e. we can define it as *.yourserver.com, and every subdomain from your website will be allowed as the destination, for any other domain it will return an error). Lists of IP addresses can be used too, so not only subdomains, for instance we can check the destination by verifying if it’s whitelisted in a file hosted on your server.
• Many FTP/SFTP options. We can set by default in your customized edition options that can limit the bandwidth used for transfers (upload/download), number of retries if the server is not available (to avoid hammering), defining custom timeouts, type of encryption, compression and many others.

Increase your revenue

You can increase your revenue from hosting services by offering your clients an online backup solution. Since we give you the backup software configured to run with your servers, you will see an increasing ROI since there’s nothing to be changed on your side – you simply offer them the storage space needed for their online backups and the program does the rest.

You’ll receive a powerful backup program

Partnering with us will give you access to a robust rebrandable backup software, specifically designed having in mind bundles. This is why we give you the possibility to choose what set of features to include in your customized Backup2 FTP edition and we can set most of them to default values to make it easier for your users.

Below is a partial list of features that can be modified in the rebranded version of Backup2 FTP that you will receive (you can either keep these features or remove them):

• Backup Sources: HDD/Floppy, USB/Firewire, CD/DVD or Blu-ray, Predefined. These are the sources recognized by Backup2 FTP, however for your rebranded backup software you can remove some of them (or keep them all).
• Backup Destination: FTP or SFTP servers. The destination will be restricted to allow back-ups only to your FTP/SFTP servers (not other brands) to prevent users from using it with servers from your competition. We can have both of them showing (FTP and SFTP) or only one type of connection, depending on what you want to offer – furthermore, we can hide the FTP/SFTP server address field completely, so that your clients will be able to enter only their username/password (the hostname will be embedded in the customized backup program).
• Types: Full, Incremental, Differential and Mirror. All four backup types are supported and enabled by default, but you can choose which ones to keep.
• Views: Brief view, Backup View, Statistics View. When starting the program, Brief view is shown and other two views are also available. Your rebranded FTP/SFTP backup application can include them all or only some of them.
• Actions: History, Plugin manager, Pause/Stop. These actions are available by default, but can be removed if you don't want to offer them in your customized FTP/SFTP backup software.
• Other options: One touch backup, plug-and-backup, scheduler, before/after actions, strong encryption - other features from Backup2 FTP that can be removed if needed from your branded version.

Practically almost every feature in this program can be kept or removed depending on your choice.

As an example of a rebranded edition of Backup2 FTP, we can create a version which can back up from the sources you choose only to a particular FTP/SFTP server, users being able to define only the username and password for their backup destination (hostname being “locked” programmatically by us to the server of your choice).

Apply your own brand

Each program from the Backup2 suite is fully brandable. This means that you can customize the set of features, name it differently, have all outgoing emails/links point to your company and even change the look of the branded backup program. Our team is always ready to deliver the final product to you and there are no hidden fees – once you pay the initial customization fee, you won’t be charged for any additional changes until we deliver the final product and you test and give your approval.
