Consumer Storage Support Is Going To Be Discontinued
The storage provider choice is among the main principles of a backup strategy.
Our goal is to provide customers with an efficient backup solution. Basing on this, we decided to discontinue the support of consumer-grade cloud storage in our products. The list of discontinued storage providers is as follows:
- Google Drive
- Amazon Drive
- OneDrive
The key causes that served as a reason for this decision:

Introducing MSP360 Backup 6.2
MSP360 Backup 6.2 comes with another major update which contains a number of new features and improvements.
Real-Time Backup Functionality is at Your Service
MSP360 Backup's new real-time backup feature, called Near Continuous Data Protection (Near CDP), has been released! We warmly thank everyone who took the survey and shared their feedback with us to help create this feature.
Over the past few months, we have carefully studied our customers' use cases and started a work scope to improve the real-time backup feature. Now, the fruits of that work are ready to use.
Previously, using the Real-Time Backup feature was not recommended, but times have changed. The following issues have been worked out and solved:
- Shared folders
- NAS storage
- Microsoft Office files.
The updated functionality has already been released within the latest version of MSP360 Backup for Windows. To learn more about the changes, read this blog post.
