Datto is the gold standard for SMB backup and disaster recovery. With hourly snapshots, instant local virtualisation and encrypted offsite cloud backup, Datto protects your data and keeps your business running even after ransomware or hardware failure.
In plain English
What Datto Backup does for your business
Datto is a backup and recovery system for businesses. It copies your servers and important PCs to a local device in the office and to the cloud, and can run a failed server as a virtual machine while it is repaired. Datto SaaS Protection does the same for Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace mailboxes and files. The point is not just having a copy, but getting back to work quickly when something fails.
Why people call us
Common Datto Backup problems we fix
Backups that have never been tested
Many businesses only find out a backup is incomplete when they need it. We run restore tests so you know it actually works.
Assuming Microsoft 365 backs itself up
Deleted emails and overwritten files are only kept for a limited time. A separate backup protects you against mistakes and ransomware in the cloud.
Ransomware on the office server
A good backup with older restore points lets you roll back to before the attack, instead of paying or losing data.

Questions
Datto Backup FAQs
- Is Datto right for a very small business?
- For a few laptops and Microsoft 365, a simpler cloud backup is often enough. Datto suits businesses with servers or a NAS where downtime is expensive.
- Can Datto back up our NAS?
- Yes, depending on the setup. We can also back up a Synology or QNAP NAS to the cloud with their own tools. We recommend whichever suits your data and budget.
- How quickly can we recover?
- Single files come back in minutes. A whole server can often be started as a virtual machine on the backup device while the original is repaired.
- Who checks the backups are working?
- We set up alerts and can check them for you as part of ad-hoc or managed support, including regular test restores.
