Acronis Cyber Disaster Recovery Cloud vs Atempo Lina

Acronis Cyber Disaster Recovery Cloud provides disaster recovery as a service, launching recovery servers at a secondary site after a natural or man-made disaster. Recovery infrastructure can be managed in Acronis Cloud, Microsoft Azure or a hybrid setup. It supports production failover and automated test failover, including scheduled monthly server tests, while runbooks define steps for starting a client’s production environment in the cloud. The service can extend up to 23 local networks through a secure VPN tunnel or connect in cloud-only mode without a VPN appliance. Listed workloads include Windows Server, Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint, Active Directory, major Linux distributions, and several virtualization platforms. Acronis says clean recovery points can help prevent ransomware reinfection. Cloud servers consume compute points according to configured flavor even when powered off; recovery servers in Standby do not. If the compute-points quota overage is reached, primary and recovery servers shut down. There is no free plan; a 30-day trial is available. Pricing depends on usage and licensing, with no dollar price listed.

Atempo Lina backs up company workstations, laptops, and file servers, including those used by remote workers and sites. It continuously backs up new and modified files in blocks, and users can restore files or earlier versions through a browser. For broader recovery, Lina supports complete machine rebuilds through Bare Metal Recovery and Continuous Data Protection. It deduplicates data at the source and server to reduce network and storage use. Listed safeguards include two-factor authentication, encryption, backup immutability, and alerts when backup behavior appears anomalous. Agent compatibility covers Linux, Windows 10 and 11, Windows Server, and macOS 11 through 14. S3 repository options include MinIO, Scality Artesca, Quantum ActiveScale, AWS, Wasabi, and OVH, but hybrid on-premises/cloud arrangements are unsupported. Lina also excludes agent-connected USB sticks and cloud-synced files accessible on disk. Atempo presents Lina for small and medium-sized business IT managers. Pricing is on request, and the product page offers a demo request.
