Product Interface
Choose files and folders to back up
Ensure your most important files are backed up regularly in case of hardware failure or accidental deletion. Select specific files and folders to back up on your personal PC, and perform backup and restore operations on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Image-based backup
Capture an entire snapshot of your system, including OS, apps, and files for fast and complete recovery after a failure.

Automated and scheduled backups
With MSP360, you can customize your backup schedule to ensure your most critical data is always up-to-date.

Ensure total backup protection with object lock
Object lock is currently the highest level of backup protection possible. Immutable data backups are not prone to ransomware, unattended access, or human factors. In MSP360 Backup, object lock is supported for Amazon S3, Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage and Backblaze B2.

Confirm backup integrity and restorability
With Restore Verification, you can test backup recoverability by restoring it as a fully functional system on a virtual machine. With Consistency Check, all backup data associated with the backup plan will be checked in the backup storage to ensure it remains unmodified.

Centralized management
Centralized backup management with a single pane of glass for all platforms (Windows, macOS, Linux, and cloud), backup and restore plans, users and endpoints.

Customizable dashboard
Enhance visibility and control to your MSP360 management experience with a widget-based dashboard which combines information about backup statuses, storage consumption, license management, agent updates, and security settings on a single page.
