How to install Vembu StoreGrid Server 4.4.1 on CentOS/RHEL & Ubuntu

Vembu StoreGrid is a to a great degree flexible Backup Software that works with your Existing Hardware !

StoreGrid actually makes a storage grid network from free space on your system. Case in point, on the off chance that you have a couple of PCs joined through a LAN however no backup server, StoreGrid can make a trusted intranet peer-to-peer backup solution for backup desktop and portable workstation information -it just takes advantage of surplus hard circle limit on PCs in a system and uses this to move down user data.

Yet, say, you did have a backup server (or servers) – StoreGrid could then be sent in an ordinary client server mode. StoreGrid also handles remote online backups easily – ideal if you prefer backing up to a server outside your network.
