Datto Siris Backup
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
SIRIS is fundamentally different than traditional backup and recovery solutions. Utilizing a cloud-first approach, managed service providers (MSPs) can offer their clients an all-in-one solution that incorporates local backup and recovery with a secure, cloud-based repository and full disaster recovery in the cloud. All of this is administered from a multi-tenant cloud portal that allows MSPs to view, manage and recover client data from a single interface.
Simplicity is a guiding design principle for SIRIS. From deployment flexibility that spans a software-only implementation to hardened backup appliances, MSPs can implement the solution that fits their client’s requirements.
SIRIS can be easily deployed as an all-in-one, secure SIRIS appliance, or be provisioned to existing hardware as a VM or an image.
Since SIRIS was built from the ground up for MSPs, it sets the standard for reliability and ease-of-administration. Unlike traditional solutions that were created for end clients, SIRIS was designed for the MSP and requires less administrative overhead while making management of 1000 clients as easy as it is for 1. SIRIS cross-platform support enables MSPs to protect their client’s data anywhere it lives, from physical servers to virtual
machines running Windows Server or Linux.
Innovative features include:
Inverse Chain Technology™ for reliable backup
Patented Screenshot Verification for recovery assurance
Patented Fast Failback™ to primary system after a disaster
Patented ransomware scanning
Intuitive Recovery Launchpad for failproof recovery
Instant virtualization recovery, local or in the cloud
Simply Powerful
Whether you choose to deploy SIRIS as fully integrated software running on your own hardware, or as a hardened, all-in- one appliance from Datto, your clients will reap the benefits. Complexity leads to high administration costs and cumbersome implementation. With SIRIS, new clients can be on-boarded in minutes. Backup and recovery administration is done via the centralized cloud backup portal that allows MSPs to remotely view and manage all clients from a single interface..
Datto Backup Portal gives MSPs a centralized, client-wide view.
Reliability issues can lead to client churn, which is why reliability begins with knowing your backup is always good. Datto’s Advanced Backup Verification with patented Screenshot Verification eliminates the need to worry if the system will boot or be recoverable by automatically verifying backups will boot with all data intact and no ransomware, giving you confidence in your backups and the ability to restore. When it comes to reducing RTO (Recovery Time Objective) while providing granular RPOs (Recovery Point Objective) Datto’s Inverse Chain Technology™ fundamentally changes the way backup and recovery is done. Unlike legacy backup solutions that complicate backup with dependencies between full and incremental images, Datto’s Inverse Chain Technology allows for every incremental snapshot to be a fully constructed recovery point.
Beyond Backup
SIRIS is the definition of modern backup and recovery, which is why Datto defines SIRIS as an all-in-one business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) solution. By unifying backup with disaster recovery, SIRIS delivers key benefits.
Instant Virtualization can recover a system in seconds
- In the Datto Cloud
- On local hardware or the SIRIS appliance
Multiple recovery options
- File restore to recover deleted or corrupted files or folders
- Rapid Rollback to quickly undo widespread changes such as ransomware infection
- Image Export for full virtual server restore
- Bare Metal Recovery to re-image a server to new hardware
Given the criticality of restore, Datto further simplifies recovery with the Recovery Launchpad which is accessed from the secure backup portal.
Datto Recovery Launchpad makes recovery failproof.
Not Just a Cloud, The Datto Cloud
The immutable Datto Cloud is the purpose-built backup and recovery cloud that provides maximum flexibility for MSPs and their clients.
- Purpose built for backup & recovery
- Immutable design
- Exabyte class, infinite scalability
- Geographically distributed
- Exclusive Cloud Deletion Defense™
- Over 15,000 restores per month
- Protecting over 1 million end clients
The Datto Cloud is the backbone for SIRIS by not only providing offsite images of backups but protecting them from harm through multiple layers of protection. MSPs can be assured that their client’s data is secure and recoverable. And in the case of a recovery, the Datto Cloud offers more functionality and better performance at a lower cost than similar solutions.
Security in a Ransomware World
If backup is the last line of defense, what happens when backup comes under attack? Malware and hacking have spread beyond end-client files and servers to MSPs and backup vendors themselves. Therefore, security is a key tenet to SIRIS with features that span login to the cloud:
- Two factor authentication Datto Backup Portal login
- Hardened backup appliance
- Backup copies kept in the immutable Datto Cloud to
protect from attacks like ransomware - Cloud Deletion Defense™ to “undelete” malicious or
accidental agent or backup snapshot deletion - Backup files that cannot be corrupted by ransomware
Attackers, especially those who spread ransomware, have set their sights on backup solutions in order to make recovery impossible. SIRIS not only includes multiple security layers to protect client data but is backed by a team of in-house security professionals whose sole job is to protect client data.

Better Built DRaaS
Disaster Recovery as a Service, or DRaaS is an often-used term for providing a service to recover a server, file or image from and in the cloud. While some solutions simply connect to a public cloud, which can be costly and provide inconsistent performance others rely upon a complex, tiered approach than can also lead to variable costs associated with cloud-based recovery.
Recover servers and images in the Datto Cloud
SIRIS DRaaS utilizes the Datto Cloud so that MSPs get a best-in-class solution with a predictable cost model.
Flat fee DRaaS
- No compute costs
- No egress/ingress fees
- No cost DR testing
- No reverse round-trip fee
What Unified Continuity Means
Built for MSPs to ensure their client’s business is always on and resilient to disasters, SIRIS is a part of the Datto Unified Continuity family that protects data wherever it lives. The Datto Cloud is the cornerstone of Datto’s Unified Continuity as it serves as the repository not only for SIRIS, but for Datto Cloud Continuity for Microsoft Azure, Datto SaaS Protection and Datto’s PC backup solution.
Born for the MSP
SIRIS was built to save the MSP time without cutting corners by simplifying and automating complex tasks. The solution works right out of the box, no certifications are required, and technicians can easily get up to speed with training available in the same place they manage the products, Datto’s Partner Portal. The Partner Portal is a single-pane-of-glass for MSPs to easily manage all Datto products and services, make purchases, train new employees, and much more. SIRIS and the Partner Portal also easily integrate with the most common PSA, RMM, and other business tools. That means integration points where you need them most, creating better workflows for efficient management and client support. Lastly, Datto’s support team provides the “experts behind the experts” 24 by forever support for MSPs. No matter how big or small the issue, Datto has your back.
