Today I will be looking at the Rebit Muli-PC software package. The Multi-PC version allows the user to back up to six PCs. If you only need to back up a single machine, they do offer a Single-PC version. Rebit also offers “appliances” which are either 2.5” or 3.5” hard drives with the software preinstalled.
