PALM DESERT, Calif., May 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Spare Backup (OTC Bulletin Board: SPBU) today announced that it has opened a European office to support and grow its presence in online backup throughout Europe. Its European initiatives will be spearheaded by Jonathan Hewett and Tom Barry, two service industry veterans with substantial retail and banking experience. Mr. Hewett, formerly DSGI, PLC's Group Financial Services Director with additional responsibility for the "The Tech Guys" brand, has over 20 years of retail service experience, launching unique programs for companies including Barclays Bank, Royal Mail Group and Sainsbury Banking operation. Mr. Barry was formerly the Managing Director of U.K. Services and Group Financial Services at Dixon's Store Group, PLC, and before that, worked for twelve years at Kingfisher, PLC.

Spare Backup Management intends to capitalize on its growing acceptance among large computer and electronic retail operations in Europe by targeting additional vertical markets including financial services and various retail distribution operations. The offices will also be utilized to support its channel partners to quickly respond to changing marketing platforms and support issues.

As part of their cloud strategy, Spare Backup also offers several cloud computing products.

• Spare Room, which takes documents, photos and music, which are included within your backup, and allows an intuitive and comprehensive approach to share and collaborate.
• Spare Mobile backs up PIM information and photos from a cell phone, then automatically sends them to Spare Room for storage, content editing and sharing.
• Spare Sync provides synchronization to multiple devices of the user's content from anywhere in the world.

With this leadership, Spare Backup expects to expand into additional channels, working towards our collective goal of being the online backup service of choice throughout Europe."
