What is Backup Radar?

Backup Radar is a backup monitoring solution for MSPs designed to reduce risk of data loss, drive business and process efficiency, and achieve greater visibility across backup platforms.

It is an automation software that helps MSP’s of all sizes and enterprise IT departments catch missed or failed backups in real-time, streamline backup checking workflows and give full customization for reports, alerts and dashboards.

Backup Radar makes it possible for MSP's to see the "unseen". It aggregates backup applications in one place and decreases inbox volume with intelligent tickets that auto-group, -append, and -close on related issues. It is a mobile-friendly, cloud solution for cloud and on-premises backups.

Backup Radar, a simple must for every customer and MSP

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Backup Radar solved a lot of issues for us. Being a MSP, with multiple customers we have a large number of individual backup jobs running across our customer base. One of the biggest challenges has always been to accurately monitor all backup jobs, and then be able to report to our customers. In Backup Radar I can now do this in a single pane of glass, be it in Azure Backups, Acronis Backups, Veeam Backups, or Spanning Backups. We got it all covered with automated monitoring, as well as reporting on schedule to our customers.

Pros

  • Backup Monitoring (no successful backups in 24 hours)
  • Automated Ticketing (Backup Radar logs the tickets in our PSA system)
  • Automated Reporting (Daily, Weekly, and Monthly reporting)

Cons

  • None offhand that I can think of

Return on Investment

  • Positive, the ROI is no match compared to the integrity and business reputation value we get by using Backup Radar, as we do not "resell" Backup Radar to our customers, it is our internal monitoring and reporting tool for the customers we look after.
