Acronis Cyber Disaster Recovery Cloud vs Check Point MDR/MPR

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.
