While backups seem like a simple enough service offering to execute, there are a number of places MSPs<\/a> make mistakes that will only cause problems in the future.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re new to backups or have been offering them for some time, you\u2019ve no doubt encountered customers that either already have backups running (likely from the last provider they used) or want you to do backups in a specific manner to accommodate their desires.<\/p>\n

The obvious challenge is you\u2019d rather do it all \u201cyour way\u201d, but you want to get the business.<\/p>\n

And so, when you deviate from your modus operandi, mistakes get made. And when it comes to the tactical practice of creating backups, there are a few ways this happens.<\/p>\n

The \u201cWhat\u201d<\/h2>\n

As in what does your backup service even look like? Many MSPs make the mistake of not having a well-defined service offering to begin with. And so, every customer\u2019s backups become a one-off execution, rather than a consistent execution across all your customers. This makes it more difficult and time-consuming for you or your techs to support backups.<\/p>\n
