Cove integration

What does the Cove integration do?

Our Cove integration links N-able’s Cove Data Protection with Rewst, to automate and manage data protection tasks within your Rewst workflows. Use the N-able Cove API to create, read, update, or delete backup jobs, monitor backup statuses, and access detailed reporting functionalities.

Why use the Cove integration?

  • Billing reconciliation
  • Onboarding of customers and devices
  • Self documentation
  • Automating actions on backup failure
