When it comes to protecting your data, not all backup systems are equal. At ETS, we recommend and support Datto because it’s built for businesses that can’t afford to gamble on downtime. But even within the Datto ecosystem, choosing the right setup matters.
Here’s how to select the Datto solution that fits your needs—and why ETS Technology Solutions is the partner to guide the process.
Start With the Size of Your Environment
Datto offers scalable options—from small business appliances to enterprise-grade backup servers. Whether you have 10 workstations or 500 endpoints, there’s a Datto device that fits.
- For smaller teams, Datto ALTO offers cost-effective, image-based backups with fast local and cloud restore.
- For larger businesses or those with compliance needs, the SIRIS platform provides advanced disaster recovery and ransomware protection.
Understand Your Recovery Objectives
Ask two key questions:
- RTO (Recovery Time Objective): How fast do you need to be back online?
- RPO (Recovery Point Objective): How much data can you afford to lose?
ETS uses these to design your backup cadence, retention policy, and recovery architecture—so your restore plan fits real-world expectations, not just technical limits.
Look for End-to-End Support
ETS doesn’t just install the Datto device—we manage and monitor it 24/7. That includes:
- Verifying backups
- Running test restores
- Updating firmware
- Responding to alerts immediately
This ensures your system is ready the moment you need it. And if something goes wrong, we work directly with Datto support on your behalf.
Plan for Physical & Virtual Environments
Whether you’re backing up on-prem servers, cloud workloads, or virtual machines, Datto can cover it. We configure protection for hybrid environments—including Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace backups.
ETS also ensures your data is encrypted, offsite, and recoverable from multiple endpoints.
Think Beyond Backup—Think Continuity
Backup is about recovery. Continuity is about staying in business. Datto’s Instant Virtualization lets you boot up a virtual copy of your system within minutes—so you can keep working even if your primary server goes down.
That’s the kind of protection ETS implements for clients across Illinois and beyond.
Choosing a backup vendor isn’t just an IT decision—it’s a business decision. At ETS, we make sure your Datto solution is secure, compliant, and tailored to your needs.
