Disaster recovery software that keeps your business running
When ransomware, fire, flood or hardware failure takes out your servers, restoring from backup can take days. Acronis disaster recovery lets you switch critical systems to a cloud recovery site in minutes – then fail back when you’re ready.
From incident to recovery in four steps
Replicate
Critical servers are backed up and replicated to the Acronis Cloud recovery site.
Test
Run failover tests in an isolated network to prove your plan works – without disruption.
Fail over
After an incident, start systems in the cloud using runbooks that orchestrate the order and networking.
Fail back
Once your site is restored, move workloads back with minimal downtime.
Recover safely, not just quickly
Restoring an infected backup simply restarts the attack. Acronis scans disaster recovery replicas for malware and vulnerabilities before they’re brought online and lets you choose a clean restore point.
- Cloud recovery site – no second data centre to buy
- Runbooks for repeatable, faster recovery
- Isolated test failover
- Malware-scanned recovery points
- Managed from the same console as your backups
How long could you survive offline?
Share your critical systems and recovery targets and we'll design an Acronis backup and disaster recovery setup to match.
Disaster recovery FAQs
What is the difference between backup and disaster recovery?
Backup gives you copies of data you can restore. Disaster recovery gives you somewhere to run your systems while the primary site is unavailable, so the business keeps working while you rebuild. Most organisations need both.
Can I test disaster recovery without affecting production?
Yes. Acronis disaster recovery supports test failover in an isolated network, so you can prove your recovery plan works without touching live systems.
What are RTO and RPO?
RTO (recovery time objective) is how quickly you need systems running again after an incident. RPO (recovery point objective) is how much recent data you can afford to lose. Your backup frequency and DR design should be built around both.
