A backup saves files. Continuity keeps your business open. With Datto continuity services, we set up a virtual server that can step in and keep your team working while we fix the original.
An employee clicks a link Friday afternoon. By Monday, ransomware has locked every file on your server. Without continuity, you’re looking at days or weeks of downtime — paying a ransom with no guarantee, or rebuilding from scratch.
With Datto: We spin up a virtual copy of your server from the last clean backup. Your team is back to work the same day while we wipe and rebuild the infected machine in the background.
Servers have moving parts, and parts fail. A dead drive or a failed power supply means your shared files, your line-of-business application, and your email are all unreachable. Ordering and installing a replacement takes days.
With Datto: The virtual server takes over while the hardware is repaired or replaced. No one in the office has to stop working while we wait for parts.
A pipe bursts over the weekend and floods the server closet. Or worse — a fire guts the building. Your on-site server and any local backup drive sitting next to it are both gone.
With Datto: Your server is also backed up to the cloud. We can spin it up remotely so your team can keep working from home, a temporary office, or anywhere with an internet connection — even if you can never go back to that building.
A Windows update, a driver change, or a line-of-business application patch takes your server down. It booted fine yesterday — now it won’t start at all, or the application your office depends on is crashing.
With Datto: We roll back to the last working snapshot. The virtual server runs from that clean state while we sort out what the update broke, without your staff sitting idle.
A storm knocks power out for the area. Even if you have a UPS, it only buys minutes — not the hours or days it can take for the utility to restore service.
With Datto: With the cloud copy of your server, your team can connect remotely and keep working from anywhere that has power and internet. Your business doesn’t stop just because your building does.
We install a Datto device in your office that takes automatic snapshots of your server — as often as every hour. Those snapshots are stored locally on the device and replicated to the cloud.
If something goes wrong, we can virtualise your server directly on the Datto device (fast, local recovery) or in the cloud (if your office is inaccessible). Either way, you get a working copy of your server running while the real one is repaired.
Most businesses have some kind of backup. Very few have tested whether it would actually get them back up and running. We’ll review what you have and tell you plainly where you stand — no charge.
