Axcient x360Recover vs BDRShield Endpoint Backup

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.

BDRShield Endpoint Backup backs up endpoint files and folders and can create Windows disk images for recovery after data loss or cyberattacks. Backups can be kept locally, in BDRShield Cloud, or in customer cloud storage such as S3, Azure Blob, Google Cloud, MinIO and Wasabi. Windows and Mac endpoint backups can be managed through a cloud console or a self-hosted centralized console; hosts can be imported by CSV or added through AD/LDAP. Scheduled incremental and synthetic full backups are supported, with a stated 15-minute RPO. Recovery choices include file and folder, disk or partition, bare-metal and instant recovery. Backed-up endpoints can also boot as VMs on VMware, Hyper-V or KVM. The product lists immutable and air-gapped backups, malware scanning before backup and restore, MFA, and AES-256 encryption in transit and at rest. Retention can be set by version count or time period, while reports and email alerts cover successful, failed or missed jobs. A free plan and 30-day trial are listed; paid licensing is by custom quote, with subscription and perpetual options.
