My main use case for Datto SIRIS is for business continuity and disaster recovery, specifically for BCDR, data protection, and sometimes backups and failovers since I'm an MSP. In addition to my main use case, we also use SaaS backup in Datto, which has excellent functionality for M365 backups, helping restore emails, files from MS Teams, or SharePoint when deleted, utilizing the Datto Unified Backup. For security purposes, we're maintaining levels of permissions, where the main IT person has full administration rights, a dedicated IT manager has limited access, and users only have read access, with their accounts having read and write access. All products from Datto SIRIS, including physical backups and cloud, are part of the same brand, making them easy to maintain. For a recent disaster recovery example using Datto SIRIS, one of my customers with a physical server crashed due to Windows updates and critical errors, which included a domain controller, Hyper-V configurations, and IIS web applications. At that time, I checked the BCDR portal, which has a one-hour retention period for backups. Immediately after the crash, we ran a VM from Datto SIRIS, and within a few seconds, the VM was available over the BCDR portal, allowing the user to access it while I worked on the actual issue.

It works out of the box for our use cases. Once it is configured, we set it and forget it. It is quick, which is what I like the most about it. It is really easy to do, and I can have my Level 2 tech guys deal with it.

Datto SIRIS was introduced three and a half years ago. We typically use Datto SIRIS for backups of endpoints, endpoint agents, and BCDR. The agents are installed on particular devices, and we use virtual machines with Datto SIRIS devices or Datto agents installed on them. Through that, we are able to get those agents onto Datto SIRIS RMM or the Kaseya dashboard, where we are able to fetch those agents and enlist them.

Datto SIRIS is my main use case for me and my customers. I use Datto SIRIS to offer a business continuity and disaster recovery solution in a single appliance. It's very simple and very fast to restore if it's necessary. In a particular situation, where my customer was infected with ransomware and the online system was broken, I used the function in Datto SIRIS to start up a snapshot. I can offer a restore of the server for my customer in 10 to 15 minutes.
My main use case for Datto SIRIS is for complete server and data backups, which I rely on most day-to-day. I use Datto SIRIS for server and data backup in my daily operations, as it constantly mirrors our server, both in the local environment and virtually in the cloud.
Datto SIRIS is a reliable, all-in-one business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) solution built for MSPs to prevent data loss and minimize downtime for clients, while building margins to grow their own business.
