Backupify, Inc., a provider of cloud to cloud backup and recovery solutions for Software as a Service (SaaS) applications, announced another major milestone in the company’s history, exceeding one million business users backed up on the Backupify platform.

After achieving a record breaking quarter in Q1 of 2014, Backupify once again earned a best quarter in company history for Q2 of this year. With a revenue growth rate of more than 100% per year for the past three years, Backupify is expected to have another year of growth by the end of 2014. The must-have application for companies entrusting their data to the cloud, Backupify added companies including Makerbot, ReachLocal, Inc., Bridgeport Public Schools, and Wauwatosa School District as customers in Q2.

“We recently implemented Backupify to protect our company’s Google Apps data and believe the investment is a critical one,” said Gordon Thomas, IT architect, Elance-oDesk, Inc.. “Since we signed on to Google Apps back in 2008, we’ve dramatically increased the amount of data we store there so we absolutely needed an extra layer of protection. As the market leader, Backupify was the logical choice for us. We’re delighted to be part of a big moment in Backupify’s history as the one millionth business user backed up.“

In addition to record breaking customer growth, Backupify also strengthened its long-standing partnership with Google. It became the first cloud to cloud backup provider to be included in the updated Google Apps marketplace. Additionally it was chosen to be part of the Google Apps Premier Technology Partner Program. The orogram is for companies meeting a number of requirements around deep integration with Google Apps.

“A huge benefit to being in such a fast growing industry is that we keep breaking our own records and reaching new levels of performance,” said Rob May, CEO, Backupify. “2014 has been an incredible year so far. The growth in companies moving to Google Apps, Box, and Salesforce is feeding the need for those companies to use the Backupify platform to securely backup and manage their business critical data. We’re in a tremendous position to capitalize on the market opportunity in front of us and additionally we’re excited to welcome Elance-oDesk to the Backupify family as part of our one million plus users backed up on Backupify.“
