After over a year of work (on top of the existing StoreGrid engine), Vembu Home is finally ready.

We took all the time we needed as we wanted Vembu Home to be unlike anything you’ve seen. And we (obviously) think, it is unlike any  backup software you’ve seen- and will see for some time, at least.

The obvious question first. Why is Vembu Home different?

a)      It’s iPhone inspired user interface is light years ahead of anything else. With its fluidity and intuitiveness, people may actually start enjoying backing up.

b)      It is the first and only consumer backup solution that supports “free local backup” to disk and optional Amazon Cloud backup

c)       The software is FREE – yes, FREE as in beer. Vembu Home is a zillion times better than whatever software you’re using to backup to your external hard disks. So if you want to junk that (software) and use some seriously potent stuff, go right ahead.

d)      Our OPTIONAL online backup service is built on the Amazon Cloud. We’ve been doing this ‘Amazon stuff’ for over a year now. Amazon has been doing this ‘cloud stuff’ for years. In fact, they started it!

e)      For the technically inclined: Vembu Home is built on Adobe Flex+AIR. It’s the only backup software to leverage this cutting edge platform.

f)       It is built on proven technology. Vembu’s StoreGrid has been around for over 4 years, runs on over 100,000 computers, and is ‘under the hood’ of 1,500 service providers across the globe.

g)      More than backup – there’s a drag & drop box, a web archive, online restores, and the ability to share backed up files by email – from a browser. It’s too much of effort to detail everything here. Get your FREE copy, instead.

Vembu Home is currently in Private Beta and we’re limiting users – for now.
