Monroe, Louisiana — April 15, 2011 — AIMS, Inc. today announced they have selected Backup Manager Corporation (BMC) to complement AIMS’ business recovery solutions.

“Petroleum marketers need an easier, fool-proof, cost-effective method to backup and recover their critical data, which is the lifeblood of a marketer’s organization. AIMS chose to include Backup Manager in our suite of solutions because on-line, cloud backup is the safest way to insure data integrity and recoverability of critical data, and BMC’s business-class solution provides the best cost-effective solution for our clients. BMC eliminates the pain currently encountered using traditional backup methods.” said David Dorries, Director of Sales and Marketing for AIMS, Inc.

BMC delivers powerful cloud backup capabilities, sometimes referred to as on-line backup, that allow marketers to economize and modernize their backup processes for greater efficiency, control and data availability. BMC’s unique technology transmits acopy of the marketer’s encrypted data over the network to BMC’s backup vault and also places a copy of the data on a local storage device. Petroleum marketers can easily perform cloud data backups and data restorationutilizing the simple, reliable, and flexible processes provided by BMC’s business-class cloud backup and recovery solution.

“Several key benefits of Backup Manager are that Backup Manager offers de-duplication (delta based) of files to be backed up, which means after the initial synchronization, only the changes to each file are uploaded, saving space and valuable time. All data is compressed, which reduces the amount of gigabyte storage required, thereby reducing cost.” said Jared Fields, Technical Support Analyst for AIMS. “Also, Backup Manager provides for point-in-time restoration of files at any time. Backup Manager can overnight a drive with your data to you, should you need to restore a large volume of data.”
