Some vitals stats I could gather from google/IDG/Gartner around -
- Almost 200M employees work remotely (off their desk)
- Close to 637K laptops are lost on US airports annually
- 65% of users don’t do a backup before they start the travel
- 90% of users don’t backup while on the move
In the last 6 weeks I (personally) have heard same statement from at least 8 VPs or CXOs - “I lost my data/notebook during last travel at …” - and none of them had a backup 
If I have to summarize, the top three reasons I heard from these guys:
- My backup software dosen’t work over WAN
- I had limited bandwidth connectivity
- I hate backups - they slow down my PC and work
The case for Druvaa inSync
Well this is the exact market we are focused on. Druvaa inSync does a wonderful job of remote backups because -
- It offers 90% savings in time, bandwidth and storage needed for backups.
- WAN acceleration boosts speed over WAN
- Smart bandwidth prioritization sets only a percentage of bandwidth for backup
- Super Secure - inSync uses SSL encryption over WAN and doesn’t need a VPN for backup.
Druvaa inSync saves single copy of data duplicate between users reducing the avg. backup size to almost 90% . (Considering the fact that corporate data is almost 80% duplicate between users). Yup, it’s truly unique and one of the most selling features of inSync.
Of course now these guys are taking business to me

When it comes to backing up offsite computers it is one area, where many businesses struggle. It isn’t necessarily that there aren’t solutions out there that will work. There are. The problem comes in finding a solution that will perform backups quickly. This is where most other backup software fails, and where our own inSync software truly shines.
Since inSync used up to 90% less bandwidth, and can perform a full backup 10 times faster than most other software, it is the ideal system to use for backing up laptops as well as PCs
Notebook Backup and Why inSync Works
With any software that is intended to backup PCs on a network, traditionally there was a tradeoff between resource usage and the actual data backed up. Backing up an entire hard drive across a network simply takes up too much storage and used too much of the networks resources to be feasible.
To compensate, most backup software used ideas like file compression, or data-mapping. These ideas are adequate for some purposes, but for full backups the software still ends up being slow and fairly resource intensive. Files are still duplicated, storage requirements are still quite large, and bandwidth is still a problem.
This is where inSync is different. With our patent-pending technology, SendUnqiue, our data backup software uses both: a more advanced compression technology and distributed data de-duplication technology. The software has the ability to recognize files that are common across the network, and doesn’t backup the same files twice.
In other words, inSync uses less storage, and less network resources to back up a PC. This makes inSync the ideal tool for backing up offsite computers (and PCs as well) since it takes less time to perform a backup.
If you take the time to read our inSync Benchmarks, it really means the difference between 3 minutes to backup and a full half hour!
