SolarWinds, a leading provider of powerful and affordable IT management software, today revealed SolarWinds Backup
Recovery Testing adoption rates by MSPs that reaffirm market demand for
automation to enhance disaster readiness, boost efficiency, and
demonstrate value. More than 400 SolarWinds MSP partners have put the
feature to use since its release in June 2020, with more than 3,110
devices currently enabled. Recovery Testing builds on the opportunity
for MSPs to turn security services into a true differentiator, and
SolarWinds' commitment to helping them do just that.

Backup provides an at-a-glance confirmation of whether backup jobs have
completed correctly, with errors, or not at all. Recovery Testing takes
this to a new level with regular automated test recoveries of the most
critical servers and scheduled reports that include screenshot
verification of the recovered system state. By automating the recovery
testing process, MSPs can be more confident in their backups, save time
and resources, and help prove disaster readiness to their customers. No
hardware appliances are required; the feature can be easily enabled from
within the Backup product, with reporting automated on a 30- or 14-day
schedule.
"Backup
is about more than just maintaining another copy of data," explained
Alex Quilter, vice president of product management, SolarWinds MSP.
"It's about data protection and the ability to get back up and running
quickly should a disaster strike. We want to make this process as easy
and affordable as possible for our MSPs and give them demonstrable ways
to show their customers how important this is to them. This is why we
introduced automated recovery testing capabilities to the market that
can be quickly deployed and give rapid reporting results."
