At Syncro, our goal is to continually deliver the highest-quality MSP Platform for our valued community. As our products grow and mature, we must also look at our current offerings to ensure they’re meeting not only our high standards but yours as well.
Today, Syncro is announcing the End of Life for our embedded Syncro Backups product.
Syncro Backups will be discontinued on September 1, 2022. After this date, there will be no access to any portion of Syncro Backups.
We strongly encourage all Syncro Backup users to start their replacement plans as soon as possible.
The backend provider for Syncro Backups, Comet, is excited to offer current Syncro Backup customers options:
“Comet Backup and Syncro continue to enjoy a strong working relationship. We are looking forward to the upcoming changes to Syncro’s integrations and are excited for these to be announced. Our team will work with all users affected by this change to minimize disruption and ensure the continuity of their backup operations during this period. We look forward to welcoming these valued partners into the fold of the Comet community.”
If you wish to transition your backup solution from Syncro Backup, direct to Comet, you can utilize this form to speak with them directly.
Syncro will continue to update the community with additional information as it becomes available, and we will continue to reach out to those directly affected by this notice. At this time, Syncro has no additional information to provide regarding any potential replacement products or integrations.
