Micro-Point uses Vembu StorGrid at our data center for off-site backups.  It is a critical application that we used to ensure the safety of our Clients information.  It’s flexibility allows us to control costs and keeps multiple copies of mission critical data.  Using it’s unique peer-to-peer (P2P) mode this application can be used to create a local backup, data that you backup to a resource on your network. You can leverage almost any free space on your network for storing data.  At the same time it can send backups to our data center. For home user StoreGrid offers a Free version. The free edition runs on Windows, though the paid versions run across all platforms.

StoreGrid is a cross platform application that runs thru a browser-based interface. StoreGrid client and server can run on numerous operating systems such as Windows, Linux, and Mac. It can backup to (and restore) from a StoreGrid server running on a different OS.  For example, a StoreGrid client running Windows Vista can backup to a StoreGrid server running in a Linux OS.
