Our Purpose

Trust and verify that the data you’re responsible for is there when you need it. It sounds simple, but IT professionals know how much sleep is lost constantly worrying about client’s data, and what you would do if you needed to restore it. We’ve been there.

We couldn’t find a solution that met our needs, so we built one. Now, along with over 900 other MSPs around the world, we can all rest easy. If ever subjected to ransomware, hardware failure, or another unthinkable glitch – we can react confidently and swiftly to address our client’s needs, as promised.

Backup Radar will reduce your risk of data loss, drive business and process efficiency, and achieve greater visibility across all your backup platforms. With the right information at the right time, build your business knowing that Backup Radar has your back.

We take the pressure off so you can take control of your time.

Our Story

Backup Radar was founded in 2015 by experienced MSP owner Patrick Leonard. The frustration of chasing repetitive tasks, worries about unreported failures in his backups, and unanswered questions whether or not human error was at play, kept Patrick up at night. Like many of you, he knew he needed a better way.

His Louisiana-based MSP tried everything from managing backups through an RMM toolset, to automated emails into their ticketing system and manual spreadsheets – nothing checked all the boxes.

Now a part of ScalePad, Backup Radar grew from its origin as a single MSP’s internal solution to become the leader in backup monitoring, reporting, and compliance, proudly monitoring 375,000+ backups daily and protecting 23,000+ businesses around the world. Our offices are in Vancouver, Canada, and Louisiana, US, and we serve MSPs and IT departments around the world.

The growing MSP had a few key concerns:

  • There was no central portal to monitor backups in one place.
  • There was no oversight to chronic issues or ability to be proactive which was detrimental to scaling the business.
  • They could not give a customer an all-inclusive backup report with all of their statuses on it.
  • Boring and mundane tasks like checking backups were bringing morale down and were prone to human error. Even the best technician could make a mistake reading date and time stamps, or clearing a common backup error too quickly.

These were important to solve for many reasons:

  • Backups are mission-critical – Lost data is a lost client, or worse, a lawsuit. It could mean your business. Ransomware can happen to anyone, anywhere. Hardware failures (despite your best advice), can be blamed on the MSP. As an MSP owner, you need to be 100% confident in your backup solution.
  • You need to be aware of potential gaps in your backup monitoring – A “second set of eyes” can increase accuracy and shed light on things you may not even know about. Intelligent ticketing logic to reduce inbox noise, and customized alerts to flag the most important information.
  • Improve workflow and processes – Automation improves team efficiency by reallocating time to remediation rather than cross-referencing spreadsheets or wading through long lists of email tickets.
  • Initiate compliance – Through simple automated reporting, show what the error was, when and how it was remediated. A great asset to demonstrate the work being done with your clients, or validate it for any governing bodies they work with.
  • Sleep soundly at night – Get your lifestyle back; run the business or NOC you want!

An internal solution quickly grew to become a standalone product, and has been growing ever since.  Backup Radar is a mobile-friendly, cloud-based solution for all types of backups; the leader in backup monitoring, reporting, and compliance.
