SolarWinds MSP Ideas MSP Backup & Recovery

We would like to have an audit log for the Cloud Management Console, so the customer and we can see what he / his users did, when they did log in ...

We need to run backup more that one time a day, every hour.

It should be posible to schedule MOB & MSP Backup torun per hour, day with out createing 24 schedules.

Currently Continous Restores set up in Recovery Management Console have no way of reporting back to the Cloud Management Console or via email. This has been confirmed via support. The only way to monitor this is manually logging in to the local Backup Manager installed on the Recovery Management Console server. This is a huge amount of wasted time and should be corrected by implementing email and Cloud Management Console ...more »

As a feature enabled in version 2010, I just submit the idea to re enable it.

It will be useful for customers to know the status of their backup.

Option to skip backup when on laptop is on battery to preserve battery life

Hi I would like to see a PAUSE BACKUP FEATURE included on the CMC and Backup Manager software to allow us to stop backups when we need instead of removing the backup schedule all together.

We have jobs that overlap with multiple TB per job, so it would be super beneficial if the Queue size did not max out at 10240 GB.

Good day, Please could we have the ability to change the device names, without having to delete the existing device and having to start over from scratch, losing the previously backed up data. Quite often a new user will take over a system, using the same data as the previous user. It then becomes messy and complicated to keep track on which user pertains to a device name. This would be very useful for us, and our ...more »

Monitoring of a particular file would be great. We could say monitor a client's QuickBooks file and have an alert if it hasn't been modified or backed up in 7 days or so.

That way if they save a new file in a new locale or backups aren't functioning, it's easy to trace. Plus, we can show our client's a nice report of their most critical files so it reinforces our value proposition.

More and more customers are using Office 365, OneDrive for business, SharePoint locations to store there data in the cloud. These services do not always provide the ideal backup solutions or retention time. Therefore our customers are asking if we are able to provide an additional backup. It would be nice if were able to create backups from one central point.

Thank you.

More and more, we have Customer with a Tier 2 SharePoint Farm.

MAX Backup support SharePoint, but only single instance farm.

It would be a great feature to be able to protect these SharePoint Farms with Max Backup.

The software should check if a backup is currently running, before attempting to restart the scheduled backup process. If the previous day's scheduled process is still running, the process should not start again but should throw an error and report "in process" to the user. This would prevent problems with two of the same backup process running simultaneously. I have encountered this issue due to a backup taking longer ...more »

In the CMC, once a device exceeds 999 Gb, the column 'size of the used storage' will display TB instead of Gb. I'd like to be able to choose ..

Full control of a backup schedule where it can be started out of hours and stopped during business hours and restarted out of hours again where the first run of a backup can take days to complete and effect network speed.

Hello,

we would wish for an option to select the priority of the backup process. E. g. to allow it to allocate all available recources like processing power. So you can select to run it with lower priority and less resources on workstations to still be able to work while the backup is running, or have it have full access to all available resources to faster backup processing.
