Slide

Slide is a modern, security-first Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) platform built exclusively for Managed Service Providers (MSPs). Founded by Datto creator Austin McChord, Slide pairs on-premise Slide Box appliances with the Slide Cloud to deliver always-encrypted, block-level backup, snapshot management, file and image restores, and virtualization. Its open REST API (api.slide.tech) gives MSPs full programmatic control to integrate, extend, and automate agents, devices, backups, snapshots, restores, networks, clients, users, alerts, and audit logs within their existing tooling. The platform uses AES-256 and ZFS native encryption, offers month-to-month subscriptions, and is SOC 2 Type 1 certified.

Slide publishes 14 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Accounts API, Agents API, Alerts API, and 11 more. Tagged areas include Company, Backup, Disaster Recovery, Business Continuity, and BCDR.

Slide’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, changelog, and 20 more developer resources.
