Windows Endpoint Backup for MSPs
Nimbus Black is an MSP-first cloud backup and recovery platform, currently in private beta. It focuses on secure, file-level backup for managed Windows endpoints, so service providers can protect roaming laptops and desktops, confirm coverage across clients, and build restore confidence. If you manage Windows fleets, this is endpoint backup for MSPs designed around how you actually work.
Endpoint data is hard to protect across client fleets
MSPs manage Windows laptops and desktops that are distributed across offices, homes, and the field. Users work remotely, files live on local devices, and important endpoint data can sit outside the SaaS platforms you already back up. That makes coverage hard to verify across clients, and it makes restores harder to trust when something goes wrong.
- Laptops and desktops are spread across many client sites and remote locations.
- Users work outside the office, so endpoint data is not always synced or centralized.
- Important files can live on endpoints rather than in SaaS apps.
- Backup coverage is difficult to verify consistently across every client.
- Restore confidence matters most at the exact moment a client needs it.
File-level Windows endpoint backup, built for MSPs
Nimbus Black takes a focused approach: protect the files that matter on managed Windows endpoints, with a workflow built for service providers. The agent backs up selected files securely to cloud storage managed through Nimbus Black, no on-site appliance required. From a single MSP-focused dashboard, you get visibility into backup health and a restore-oriented workflow across client endpoints. As a private beta, the platform is shaped directly by MSP feedback.
- File-level backup for managed Windows endpoints.
- Direct-to-cloud architecture, with no on-site appliance to maintain.
- MSP-focused dashboard for managing coverage across clients.
- Backup health visibility so you can see status at a glance.
- Restore-oriented workflow designed around recovery, not just capture.
- Private beta, actively shaped by MSP partner feedback.
Why MSPs use Nimbus Black
- Protect important files on distributed Windows endpoints.
- Reduce manual backup checking with clearer health signals.
- Get clearer restore visibility before a client ever needs it.
- Standardize backup coverage across client endpoints.
- Start with focused endpoint coverage while following a broader recovery roadmap.
Security and restore confidence
Backups are encrypted, access is controlled, and backup health is visible so technicians are not guessing about coverage. Backup health signals and restore testing workflows help technicians validate recoverability before a client ever needs it. We describe our approach conservatively and keep beta expectations clear. You can read more on our security page.
Current scope vs. roadmap
We are honest about what Nimbus Black does today versus what is planned. Roadmap items are directional, not promises.
| Available today (private beta) | On the roadmap |
|---|---|
| Windows file-level endpoint backup | Image-based backup |
| Direct-to-cloud backup | Broader BCDR |
| Restore workflow | SaaS backup |
| MSP dashboard | Deeper recovery automation |

Frequently asked questions
Is Nimbus Black image-based backup?
Not today. Nimbus Black currently provides file-level backup for Windows endpoints. Image-based backup is on the roadmap, but it is not part of the current private beta build.
What Windows endpoints can MSPs protect?
MSPs can protect managed Windows laptops and desktops, including remote and roaming devices, by backing up selected files directly to the cloud.
Is this meant to replace full BCDR?
No. Nimbus Black focuses on file-level endpoint backup today. Broader business continuity and disaster recovery capabilities are on the roadmap, not the current build, so it is not a full BCDR replacement yet.
How does this fit with SaaS backup?
Endpoint backup protects files that live on Windows devices, which can sit outside SaaS platforms. SaaS backup is on the roadmap; for now, Nimbus Black complements your existing SaaS protection rather than replacing it.
Can MSPs test restores during beta?
Yes. The platform includes restore workflows and restore testing so technicians can validate recoverability during the private beta.
How do I join the beta?
Apply through our beta program. You can start your application on the beta page, and we will follow up with next steps for early MSP partners.
