In December 2014, Datto acquired Backupify, a Cambridge based SAAS application backup solution. With the merger, Datto's Business Continuity product portfolio expanded into the cloud to cloud backup market.

FBI Probe

In August 2015, an FBI probe of Hillary Clinton's private email extended to Datto after her managed service provider, Platte River Networks, revealed they had been using a Datto server to backup all of the Secretary's emails.[1] The probe sparked a controversy about Datto's company parties that feature hula dancers as well as the claims to major security flaws in their backups.[2] Sen. Ron Johnson expressed "major concerns" that classified information was contained in Datto's servers since they lacked the necessary security clearance.[3]
