In their own words
Acronis Cyber Disaster Recovery Cloud
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.
SysCloud Backup
SysCloud Backup provides automated backup and recovery for SaaS applications used by businesses, non-profits, and educational institutions. Its daily backups support point-in-time recovery, including restoring files with attachments and permissions intact and exporting deleted files. SysCloud checks backup snapshots for ransomware-encrypted and malicious files, then supports remediation workflows or recovery from a safe snapshot. Its compliance tools identify risky data access, sensitive data exposure, and compliance violations. eDiscovery searches backup archives, supports legal holds, and exports items placed on hold. The service also highlights additions, deletions, and modifications between snapshots and can export change sets for investigation. Listed integrations include Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Google Classroom, Slack, HubSpot, QuickBooks Online, Salesforce, Box, and Xero. Backup archives reside in AWS cloud storage instances in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, Singapore, and Japan. The free trial lasts 30 days and does not require a credit card; there is no free plan. New subscriptions require at least 100 licenses overall across backed-up apps. SysCloud says it does not cater to individual users.
