What happens when you miss a backup?
“If a backup did not run, no news is good news, right? The system perceived that as a success and reported nothing. We lost a client because of that. Their backups weren’t running and we weren’t aware of it,” Moog said.
The revenue lost when a client ends their relationship with your MSP adds up.

Moog estimated that River Run was losing about $4,000 a month from the lost client. That’s a total of $48,000 per year.
Trust, Time and Money
River Run began to sync their backup information into Backup Radar so they would get notifications even if backups were non-operational or did not generate a failure status. With this additional comprehensive monitoring, River Run can now trust their processes to identify problems that may have otherwise been hidden.
They’re also saving time. Before they were manually checking a spreadsheet against their backup’s data portal. Up to eight hours a week was dedicated to manual backup monitoring.
The Backup Radar ROI
Time savings, protected revenue, and discovering actionable opportunities all contribute to the return on investment.
MSPs can quickly see ROI in time savings alone. Eight hours a week becomes just one hour dedicated to backup monitoring, freeing up experienced technicians for bigger projects.
Protecting revenue is also critical. The loss of recurring revenue far outweighs the investment in backup monitoring. If you lost a client that pays $4,000 per month, you’d lose $48,000 per year.
“We generate some revenue and we preserve some revenue,” said Moog.

Generate with the respect that we create actionable items as they come up. Preserving in the respect that we do not lose clients because backups were not working.”
River Run could have saved $48,000 in yearly recurring revenue if they had Backup Radar sooner.
