Datto ALTO is purpose-built for small businesses, offering automated backup and disaster recovery capabilities with minimal complexity and an affordable price. It delivers enterprise-level protection, designed for businesses with limited IT budgets.
Small businesses face increasing cyber threats, and data loss or disruptions can have severe consequences. Backup solutions are essential for protecting critical data and ensuring it’s recoverable, safeguarding businesses from operational and financial impacts.
Datto ALTO provides secure cloud backups, preventing data compromise while offering flexible recovery options—from file-level restores to full disaster recovery with cloud virtualization—to quickly resume operations after an incident.
Small businesses have several backup options, ranging from basic USB and disc-based solutions to more complex cloud-based enterprise systems. However, many businesses find themselves stuck between limited, elementary options and overly complex, costly enterprise solutions that don’t meet their specific needs.
Datto ALTO fills this gap by offering a fully-featured, cost-effective backup solution tailored for small businesses. With ALTO, you get enterprise-level data protection without the added complexity or expense, ensuring reliable backups and disaster recovery without the burden of managing intricate systems.
The frequency of backups should be determined based on the business's recovery point objectives (RPO), which dictate how much data loss is acceptable during an outage. At a minimum, daily backups are recommended, but businesses with high data turnover may need to back up more frequently to ensure recent data is protected.
Datto ALTO automates this process with image-based backups, allowing businesses to set the ideal frequency for their needs. ALTO also includes data and boot verification, ensuring that every backup is not only complete but also fully bootable, providing peace of mind that recovery will be seamless when needed.
