Be Ready for Windows Backup and Restore In Any Situation

What is Windows Backup and Restore?

Windows backup and restore is a crucial capability. It allows Windows-based PCs and servers to fully recover their data and software programs after a cyber attack, accidental deletion, or system failure. Backup and restore tools can help to recover both local and cloud-based data and applications.

How to protect Windows PC and server data?

Nothing grinds business to a halt quicker than desktop computer failure.

Protecting IT systems and the data within is a top priority for any business. Small and medium sized businesses have an ever increasing reliance on IT. Although most people know it's important to backup data very few consider how to recover. This is where Business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) comes into play.

Managed servers providers (MSP) that provide a BCDR service are able to protect and recover data to ensure that downtime is minimal.

Whether your clients need Windows 10 backup, or Windows backup for legacy systems, expectations are for their MSP to go above and beyond. Datto works with MSPs to provide solutions that give MSPs the flexibility to fully cover their clients’ Windows systems. This ensures fast data recovery and business continuity via a comprehensive solution set.

With Datto’s comprehensive BCDR solutions, MSPs can ensure that client data is protected from data loss and ransomware no matter where it lives. Datto SIRIS was created specifically for server environments, while Datto Endpoint Backup for PCs keeps PC-based systems covered with a pure, image-based backup solution.

Go beyond backup with Datto - Flexible data protection for Windows machines

Datto SIRIS is a reliable, all-in-one BCDR solution built for managed service providers to prevent data loss and minimize downtime for their clients’ servers.

But Windows backup is just the start, SIRIS also protects Linux environments.

Rapidly recover from Windows Backups with Datto SIRIS

In Datto’s State of the Channel Ransomware report 91% of MSPs reported ransomware attacks on Windows PCs and 76% on Windows servers. This shows the scale of the threat that ransomware poses to businesses.

However, Ransomware is no match for Datto SIRIS. All backups are scanned automatically for ransomware and mounted to ensure they are available to restore. If your clients suffer a ransomware attack, simply “turn back the clock” to a snapshot taken before it happened.

When it comes to recovery time, this is where Business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) shows its real value.

Datto Instant Virtualization enables MSP’s to restore their clients’ business within seconds from their local device, or using Datto’s powerful cloud. While a complete system image runs through a virtual machine, regular backups continue. Meaning that you can allow your clients to continue to function and then roll back to production when needed.

In the event that the source machine is lost, Datto SIRIS also provides the option for a bare metal recovery onto new hardware or a virtual destination. With backups scheduled as often as every five minutes, you can relax knowing that your data is safe. All backups are tested and validated to ensure that they are in full working order. Datto even takes it a step further and scans for ransomware to ensure your data is safe and secure.
