Origins of Remote Data Backups

Prior to starting Remote Data Backups, CEO and Founder Daniel M. Dugal received a Bachelor's degree in Management of Information Systems (MIS) from the University of Wisconsin.

Upon moving to Fort Collins, Colorado, Daniel Dugal started Computer Paramedics. He quickly grew it into the largest onsite computer repair and networking company in Colorado, setting the standard for fast, reliable and certified support.

For 4 1/2 years the company also provided data recovery and disaster prevention consulting. They witnessed the devastating consequences of data loss in business.

“You just don't realize how important your data is until you lose it! Hard drives are not built to last,” Daniel Dugal says. “Never underestimate the power of disgruntled employees to quickly bring a company to its knees by deleting their data and backups! We've seen it countless times.”

In 2006, we adopted the trademarkable name ReliaStore to represent our umbrella of IT services.
