PBN-TEC provides backup and data recovery tools for computers and cell phones. PBN-TEC was founded in 1999 as Paraben Corporation and quickly established itself as a leader in specialized computer forensic software in early 2002. Paraben's line of computer forensic tools for PDA, email analysis, and other computer related investigations lead to the release of the first commercial tool for performing cell phone forensics in 2004. PBN-TEC continues to innovate with its line of data recovery and backup tools for mobile devices and Windows based computers. In 2015, PBN-TEC branched off from Paraben Corporation to focus on advanced data recovery and backup tools designed for everyday users.
