Press Release Summary: Online backup specialists launches new partner programme
offering support and marketing that will enable resellers to generate substantial
monthly revenues

Press Release Body: Leeds, 14th July 2008 - Backup Technology, the UK's leading
online backup and disaster recovery provider, is set to double its partner base over
the next six months. As part of this drive, the company has launched a new partner
programme which will provide the marketing and sales support to enable IT and
storage resellers to generate substantial recurring monthly revenues by reselling
reliable, efficient and totally secure data protection solutions.

Backup Technology offers remote, online storage and back up solutions that enable
companies of all sizes to securely protect their data. By hosting and managing all
files and charging a monthly fee, Backup Technology provides a 100% failsafe system
that supports business continuity and disaster recovery.

IT resellers can add Backup's solution as part of a wider technology offering, which
will help them to attract new customers as well as create an up-sell opportunity for
existing customers overall increasing retention and satisfaction. It is also a good
opportunity for traditional tape storage resellers who can move to an online
solution which is easy to manage, less time consuming and more secure.

"As margins in hardware and software continue to be squeezed, it is essential that
resellers look to other technologies to help increase revenues," commented Ritchie
Fiddes, Sales Director, Backup Technology. "Online backup is one such technology.
Companies around the world are waking up to the inherent security and cost benefits
that web-based back-up brings. By partnering with Backup Technology, resellers can
take advantage of this. Our backup solution is flexible and scalable enough to
handle the smallest to the largest customers and our pricing model is such that we
can guarantee recurring monthly income."




Key benefits of the Backup Technology partner programme include:
. Provision of marketing material, info on back-up Legislation & website text and
images
. Fully inclusive sales and technical training
. Dedicated account manager and technical contact 24/7
. Sales incentives and provision of sales leads
. Lead protection

As part of this expansion plan, Backup Technology has appointed three new account
managers who will manage new and existing partners.
