Axcient x360Recover vs Data Deposit Box

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.

Data Deposit Box provides continuous cloud backup for computers, mobile devices, and supported NAS devices under one account. It captures file changes as they happen without a schedule, and time-stamped versions allow restoration within the retention window. The plan costs $20 a month, billed monthly, and includes 200 GB of backup storage, unlimited devices, and access to every feature; additional storage costs $0.10/GB. A 14-day trial is available.

Cloud Drive adds drag-and-drop storage for files outside selected backups. LiveLink provides browser access to files on devices running the Data Deposit Box agent without a VPN. Files and folders can be shared by email or link, optionally protected by a password. The service supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. The company says data is encrypted on the device before upload and protected in transit and at rest, and accounts support two-factor authentication. Its iOS app backs up photos and contacts, but not videos or documents.
