Import Contacts

As Managed Backup is integrated with ConnectWise, it allows you to import the required contacts from your ConnectWise platform into Managed Backup.

To start using ConnectWise contacts with Managed Backup Service, configure ConnectWise integrator login, then connect to ConnectWise using the Management Console to retrieve contacts from the ConnectWise account.

This chapter covers the contacts import from ConnectWise problem.
