## From the vendor

Redstor is a cloud-based backup and recovery platform from Redstor for managed service providers and enterprises protecting Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Azure and on-premises servers and endpoints. The platform covers Microsoft 365 workloads including Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams and OneNote, plus Microsoft Entra ID and Azure VM backup in an agentless configuration, and offers backup for Google Workspace covering Drive, Gmail, Contacts and Calendar, alongside Salesforce, Xero, QuickBooks Online and Desktop, and Azure Blob storage, combined with traditional server and endpoint backup across Windows, macOS and Linux. Redstor suits MSPs that need a multi-tenant, cloud-first platform for protecting both SaaS and on-premises workloads from one console, with deployments completed in under 60 seconds and no hardware appliances required. The platform emphasises rapid recovery through InstantData™ streaming technology, which allows users to begin working immediately while complete restoration continues in the background, reducing downtime from days to seconds. This is paired with AI-powered malware detection that scans every backup before recovery to ensure clean restores and isolate ransomware threats. Immutable backups prevent both ransomware alteration and insider threats, and multi-region data centres support geographic redundancy and data residency requirements across Europe and North America. Pricing follows a pay-as-you-grow model with no egress fees, no hardware costs and no hidden fees, and requires a quote from Redstor based on your data volumes and protected workloads. Redstor is based in Reading, United Kingdom with offices in Tampa Florida, Cape Town and Galway Ireland. Redstor does not sell direct and is exclusively channel-first, meaning no competing with your own sales. MSPs should confirm that Redstor's pay-as-you-grow model and quoted per-workload pricing align with their own customer billing preferences, verify which data centres and regions support their clients' data residency needs, and confirm whether existing RMM and PSA integrations fit their stack.

## Our take

Redstor stands out for its channel-first positioning, meaning no direct competition with your own sales. The platform's InstantData™ streaming technology and malware scanning before recovery address ransomware concerns better than basic snapshot tools or immutable retention alone. Compare against Datto BCDR for on-premises workloads, Veeam for mixed environments, or Veeam Data Cloud for M365-focused needs; Redstor competes more on SaaS protection depth and cloud-native architecture than bare-metal recovery speed. Confirm that Redstor's pay-as-you-grow model and quoted pricing work with your own customer billing practices, and ask specifically about ransomware warranty or guarantee coverage during your evaluation.
