Standing Cloud has just announced its ability to handle all backup and restore for users in the UK and Euro on that side of the pond.

This month, we bring you an iteration code-named "Grampa Simpson." He's a fellow who's clearly been around a long time. Though this iteration hasn't been around a long time (our development cycles are only 12 days long!), the list of features in it is long for sure! So without further ado:
