Access Intelligence announces that Backup and Running plc ('Backup and
Running'), which provides small and medium sized organisations with on line
back-up and disaster recovery, has become an ABTA Travel Industry Partner.


The Travel Industry Partner scheme allows Backup and Running to promote and
market itself as part of the ABTA family, which has over 1,700 members and over
6,600 outlets, and entitles it to use the Travel Industry Partner logo on its
marketing documents to members.


ABTA will now introduce Backup and Running to its members through its regular
E-mail newsletter, through a prominent place on their very busy website, and
through editorial in the widely read ABTA Magazine.


The partner status also gives Backup and Running the opportunity to attend and
feature at ABTA events, these include nationally organised forums, through to
regional meetings where Travel Industry Partners are given the opportunity to
explain their services to an ABTA audience.


Other ABTA partners include: Deloitte and Touche, KMPG, BSkyB, Hilton Group, Aon
Insurance, NTL business and Telewest.


Brendan Austin, the Chief Executive of Access Intelligence, commented:


'We are delighted that Backup and Running has been approved as an ABTA Travel
Industry Partner which opens a whole range of business opportunities for us.


Backup and Running's proven technology will allow those members who are
concerned about failures in their computer systems to backup data online 24
hours a day and, should any catastrophe happen, our highly skilled team will be
able to quickly get their businesses backup and running.


This agreement with ABTA follows a highly successful sales period for Backup and
Running, which has seen turnover in the first five months of the current
financial year increase by 85% over the similar period last year.'
