R1Soft is a division of BBS Technologies an international computer software company, dealing in the area of Continuous Data Protection, disk-based online backups, disaster recovery, and bare-metal restore in both Windows and Linux servers.[3]

History

R1Soft was founded in 2006 as Righteous Software Inc., a privately held company. Originally focused on Continuous Data Protection for Linux, R1Soft expanded their product capable of performing backups every 5 minutes[3] to Windows and Virtual Machines.

Once a Network engineer for EV1 Servers, David Wartell identified the market opportunity for an affordable high performance backup software that could meet the needs of mass market hosting and cloud servers that often had no reliable backup method.[4]

Products

R1Soft provides Continuous Data Protection and disaster recovery for Windows and Linux servers to Cloud computing and small and medium enterprises. By focusing on only two operating systems (Windows and Linux) R1Soft has developed highly specialized device drivers that determine what data blocks need to be copied before the backup operation starts. This reduces typical server backup Windows from hours to minutes, even on large data sets.[3]
