New Disaster Recovery Masterclass helps MSPs work smarter and more secure

N-able has announced Cove’s ‘Master of Disaster Recovery’ Class—a free online course aimed at supporting disaster preparedness for MSPs worldwide.

Offered free to MSPs, the Cove Class leverages Cove’s Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) capabilities to impart essential knowledge and skills to the MSP community in the event of a data breach. The classes will be conducted via GoToWebinar every two weeks on an ongoing basis. Upcoming 2024 sessions include March 19 and April 2.

Mastering Proactive DRaaS

In an era where cyber threats and unforeseen disasters are rising, Cove’s ‘Master of Disaster Recovery’ Class stands out as an invaluable resource. Unlike traditional, fee-based training programs that can consume days or even weeks of an MSP's time, the Cove Class delivers fundamental insights into disaster recovery and how to best prepare for a cyber event in 60 minutes or less.

“The worst time to learn about disaster recovery is during a disaster, which is why we developed a free course to help MSPs better prepare for and play it smart when disaster strikes, and you have to respond quickly,” said Chris Groot, General Manager, Cove Data Protection at N-able. “Cove’s ‘Master of Disaster Recovery’ Class is a live, hands-on, and immersive learning experience designed to equip MSPs with the confidence and expertise they need to implement best practices including how to design and deliver proactive disaster recovery as a service.”

Cove’s ‘Master of Disaster Recovery’ Class also helps MSPs establish a recovery environment in local Hyper-V, VMware ESXi, or in Microsoft Azure. This includes critical recovery prerequisites and cyber-recovery best practices, equipping MSPs with the knowledge to make crucial decisions before a disaster strikes. Additionally, the class covers how to avoid the most common errors and pitfalls that often lead to recovery problems.
