Status Page
Dropsuite maintains 3 separate status pages: Americas, EMEA, and APAC. This allows users to view the current status for their particular region without receiving notifications for any potential issues which may not affect them.
https://statusamer.dropsuite.com/
https://statusemea.dropsuite.com/
https://statusapac.dropsuite.com/
From these pages, you will see the status broken out into three sections: "Website" for site access and loading issues, "Backups" for issues with taking backups, and "Restores/Downloads" for issues with retrieving backed-up date. Please note that only issues affecting multiple customers will be posted here.
You can also subscribe to any or all three of these in order to receive notifications whenever a new status message is posted. To do this, click on the "Get Updates" option from the above sites and select the method in which you would like to be notified.
Customer Support
If you're unable to find the answer you need in our Help Center, our Customer Support team is here to assist you via email. They are available to help with errors that occur while setting up Dropsuite or with the backups themselves. This support service is provided at no cost and is available in English. We've determined that email communication is the most efficient method for providing optimal support to as many clients as possible, allowing our technicians and engineers the necessary time to thoroughly investigate issues and deliver appropriate solutions.
Support is offered on a case-by-case basis when clients identify reproducible problems or issues requiring assistance. Please refer to the lists below for guidelines and examples of the types of support provided and not provided through Customer Support.
When you initiate a support request with our Customer Support team, the following process will be followed:
- Your support ticket will be created and appropriately triaged. You'll receive an initial response acknowledging your issue, outlining the next steps to address it, and possibly answering any initial questions you may have.
- You can directly reply to this initial email to continue the conversation with Customer Support if further assistance is needed.
- Once your issue is resolved, your support ticket will be closed. If you encounter a separate issue, a new ticket will be generated to assist you further.

Support Model
Our Support Team operates in a two-tiered model:
- Tickets are initially handled by our Technical Support Technicians.
- Complex issues are escalated to our Technical Support Engineers, with efforts made to match the support region with the nearest time zone. Our Software Support Engineers work on a Monday-Friday schedule in all three primary regions (US, EMEA, and APAC).
- Further escalations engage our Escalation Engineers who liaise with development teams for resolution. These tickets may require guidance on changes to both the project and customer environments and will require at least 24 hours to be reviewed by development. The ticket and communications will still be owned by our Support Engineers to communicate with you.
