History

R1Soft was founded in 2006 as Righteous Software Inc., a privately held company. Originally focused on Continuous Data Protection for Linux, R1Soft expanded their product capable of performing backups every 5 minutes[3] to Windows and Virtual Machines.

Once a Network engineer for EV1 Servers, David Wartell identified the market opportunity for an affordable high performance backup software that could meet the needs of mass market hosting and cloud servers that often had no reliable backup method.[12]

R1Soft was acquired by Continuum Managed Services, a provider of fully integrated managed IT solutions, in July of 2014.[13] On March 31, 2015, the company announced that Continuum had integrated the technology behind R1Soft's Server Backup Manager into Continuity247™, its newly launched backup and disaster recovery platform. [14]

Righteous Software Inc. merger

In December 2007 BBS Technologies Inc., commonly known as Idera, an international computer software company, dealing in the area of Microsoft SQL Server, acquired R1Soft.[15]


Continuum acquisition

Continuum Managed Services, a provider of fully integrated managed IT solutions, acquired Idera's server backup product line in July of 2014, relaunching the R1Soft brand in the process.[16] On March 31, 2015, the company announced that Continuum had integrated the technology behind R1Soft's Server Backup Manager into Continuity247™, its newly launched backup and disaster recovery platform.
