Axcient x360Recover vs Datto Endpoint Backup for Windows

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.

Datto Endpoint Backup for Windows backs up and restores Windows PCs, servers, virtual machines, and cloud instances directly to Datto Cloud, without an appliance. Policies let administrators choose data, schedule backups from once every hour to once every 24 hours, set retention periods of 90 days, 1 year, 3 years, or 7 years, and manage bandwidth. Recovery includes files and folders, file versions restored elsewhere or downloaded directly, and bare metal restores to the same or different hardware. A unified portal provides alerts and visibility into backup status, history, storage use, and policy settings for Windows and Mac endpoints. Backups are encrypted in transit and at rest, with optional customer-managed keys; listed protections also include forced MFA, KaseyaOne single sign-on, and immutable cloud storage. The product integrates with Autotask PSA, Datto RMM, Kaseya VSA, IT Glue, and Compliance Manager GRC. Supported systems include Windows 10 and 11, Windows Server 2012 R2 through 2025, and macOS, though Windows 10/11 Enterprise multi-session is incompatible. Pricing is on request, based on storage used, and there is no free plan.
