Online Backup Ad Hock Technical Webinar Posted, Ready to View

February 16th, 2012 No comments

We have posted the recording of our Ad Hock technical webinar, held at 9AM CT on February 16. The session went very well, and we had about 50 people attend. Most wanted a demonstration and discussion of branding, customizing, and building RBackup Client installers, so we spent the entire hour and ten minutes on that.

There were a lot of insightful questions and in-depth answers, so this is a good Webinar to watch. The Webinar was presented by Rob Cosgrove in Memphis, and Pinku Bharti in our Chennai, India office.

You can watch the Webinar recording at this link.
