Awanio Disaster Recovery Manager vs Axcient x360Recover

Awanio Disaster Recovery Manager (DRM) coordinates virtual-machine recovery across paired Awanio Cockpit sites. Administrators enroll VMs for scheduled disk replication and set the recovery site, datastore, RPO, recovery-point retention, and traffic compression. The initial sync copies the full disk; later syncs transfer changed blocks. Recovery plans arrange workloads into ordered runbooks with priority groups and boot delays, then replicate as read-only copies to the recovery site. DRM supports isolated test failover, planned migration, emergency failover, reprotection, and failback. During a test, a workload copy boots in an isolated network while production remains untouched. Emergency failover uses the latest completed recovery point, so newer data may be lost. A deployment needs two sites, each with Cockpit and at least one Vapor host, administrator access to both, and connectivity on ports 7770, 7771, and 7772. Orchestrated recovery also requires the Disaster Recovery entitlement at both sites and a DRM license or active trial. Pricing is on request; the time-limited trial permits a small number of protected workloads.

Axcient x360Recover provides backup, business continuity and disaster recovery for managed service providers and their clients. It supports computer and server image backups across Windows, VMware, Linux, macOS, public cloud and IaaS environments. Deployment can be Direct-to-Cloud or appliance-based, using Axcient cloud, private cloud, public cloud or hybrid infrastructure. Both deployment options target a 15-minute recovery point objective and recovery time of less than one hour. Chain-free retention supports periods of 3, 5, 7 or 10 years without reseeding or consolidation. AutoVerify virtualizes backed-up data to provide evidence of regular backup checks, while AirGap separates data deletion requests from the mechanics of deletion to help prevent malicious or accidental removal. Virtual Office can run one or more systems in Axcient Cloud temporarily when production infrastructure is affected. Optional Local Cache pairs Direct-to-Cloud with USB or NAS storage to reduce recovery and failback times. x360Recover Manager can send alerts to ConnectWise and Autotask PSA, and a direct ConnectWise Asio integration syncs alerts and device information. Pricing is on request, and a free 14-day trial requires no credit card.
