In their own words
Axcient x360Recover
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.
