Overview

Data protection without the hardware headache

Redstor eliminates the complexity of traditional backup by moving everything to the cloud. There are no local appliances to maintain, no tape rotations to manage, and no single points of failure. A lightweight agent installs in minutes, and the RedApp console gives you complete visibility across every client or site from one place.

Cloud Backup

Secure, scalable cloud storage with no local hardware dependency. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

InstantData Recovery

Stream individual files or entire systems immediately on demand while full restorations run in the background.

AI Malware Detection

Every backup is automatically scanned for malware, ensuring you never restore an infected dataset.

RedApp Dashboard

Centralised management for all tenants, clients and data sources — one login, complete control.

Immutable Storage

Backups are immutable and tamper-proof, protecting against ransomware and accidental deletion.

Multi-Tenant by Design

Built for MSPs — manage multiple clients from a single pane of glass with role-based access controls.

Key Features

How Redstor works for you

Four capabilities that set Redstor apart from traditional backup tools.

Cloud Backup — no hardware, no limits Redstor writes every backup directly to secure cloud storage, eliminating the need for on-site backup appliances, NAS drives or tape. Storage scales automatically as your data grows, and there is no capital expense to manage. Data is encrypted with AES-256 in transit and at rest.

InstantData — recover in seconds, not hours Traditional restores wait for a full download before anything is usable. InstantData streams the data you need immediately — an individual file, a folder, or an entire server — while the full restoration continues in the background. Users are back to work in seconds rather than waiting hours for a complete download.

AI-Powered Malware Detection — clean recoveries, guaranteed Restoring from a backup that was already infected defeats the purpose of the recovery. Redstor's AI engine automatically scans every backup for malware signatures and behavioural anomalies, flagging compromised restore points before you use them. You always know exactly which backups are clean.

RedApp — one console for everything The RedApp gives MSPs and IT teams a single, centralised dashboard to manage every tenant, client, data source and backup policy. Role-based access controls let you delegate safely, while automated reporting keeps clients informed without manual effort.

FAQ

Common questions

Do we need to buy any hardware to use Redstor?

No. Redstor is entirely cloud-based. A lightweight agent installs on your endpoints and servers, and your SaaS data sources connect via API. There are no appliances, NAS devices or tape libraries required.

What does InstantData mean in practice?

When you trigger a recovery, InstantData streams the requested data to the user or system immediately rather than waiting for a complete download first. A user can open and work on a restored file within seconds while the full restore continues in the background.

How does the AI malware detection work?

Redstor's AI engine automatically scans each backup for known malware signatures and behavioural patterns that indicate infection. Flagged restore points are marked so you can choose a clean backup before restoring, preventing you from reintroducing malware during a recovery.

Can Redstor protect our Microsoft 365 data?

Yes. Redstor backs up Exchange Online email, SharePoint sites, OneDrive files and Microsoft Teams messages and channels. Microsoft's own retention policies are not a substitute for backup — Redstor provides proper point-in-time recovery.

Is Redstor suitable for small businesses as well as enterprises?

Yes. Redstor scales from a single site with a handful of devices all the way to an MSP managing hundreds of clients. Pricing is per device, so you only pay for what you use.
