Beware Online Backup Software Running the Apache Web Server

Rob Cosgrove — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 22:58:07 +0000

Your online backup software should NEVER, for any reason, answer inbound connection requests from the Internet. That's what spyware does. That's what Trojans do. That's how computer networks become compromised, and that's how private data is made public. This is why I am deeply concerned about an online backup software product in my market space. I won't mention their name, at least not yet. I want to give them an opportunity to fix this gigantic security hole first. If they fix it, I will report it here. Here's a hint: It's not my software, RBackup or Mercury. I guess you figured that out, though.

Online Backup Domain Names for Sale

Rob Cosgrove — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 17:08:59 +0000

A good domain name can MAKE an Online Backup business. The best domain names contain your company name, so they are easy for your customers to remember. Great domain names also contain words end users might search for so they rank highly in the Search Engines. For example, use any search engine to look up "remote backup." You will probably find Remote Backup Systems (www.remote-backup.com) in that valuable number one spot in the natural listings. Over the years we have collected some really good (and some GREAT) domain names. We are now releasing some of them for our Service Providers.
