Logging into the RedApp

To start using the RedApp, you'll receive an invitation from your service provider. You will then need to complete some steps similar to these.

For security purposes, you will need to use multi-factor authentication every time you log into the RedApp. 

Dashboards

One of the key features of the RedApp is the various dashboards that show you real-time analytics of your data estate. You can view a dashboard of all your customers or see dashboards for individual Redstor products such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or Machines.

To set up your products in the RedApp, see our product management guide. Once you have added a product, you can click on the product name in the sidebar to start adding backup sets for this product. This page contains links to all our guides to setting up backup sets for specific services.
