Disaster Recovery Linux Manager vs Infrascale Backup and Disaster Recovery

Disaster Recovery Linux Manager (DRLM) is a free, on-premises system for centrally managing GNU/Linux disaster recovery with Relax-and-Recover (ReaR). It manages ReaR installations, schedules them, starts backups remotely, and supports network boot and recovery. Documented methods include ReaR PXE and NETFS (NFS), along with incremental backups, encrypted backup files, and TLS-secured rsync backups. DRLM can automatically install clients from the server when those clients are reachable over SSH. The project supports physical and virtual GNU/Linux systems and lists Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, Rocky Linux, RHEL, openSUSE Leap, and SLES versions for the server. Error reporting integrations include HP OpenView, Nagios, Zabbix, and email. Its API uses HTTPS on port 443. Production downloads are source archives in tgz and zip formats, and the project uses the GNU General Public License version 3. The installation guide assumes a minimal Linux installation dedicated to the DRLM server.

Infrascale Backup and Disaster Recovery (IBDR) is a hybrid solution for backing up and restoring files, folders, physical servers, and virtual machines. It replicates data to Infrascale Cloud and supports recovery on a local appliance or by starting systems in the cloud. On-demand failover does not require an advance declaration, and failback is supported. Backups can include system images and unlimited restore points; disaster recovery and failover testing are also unlimited with no testing fees. Cloud recovery runbooks let administrators arrange virtual-machine startup order, grouping, and intervals. Backup data is deduplicated, compressed, and encrypted; cloud replication uses AES 256-bit encryption, and cloud data is encrypted at rest. The central Dashboard manages deployment, backup settings and schedules, and recovery network configuration. Listed environments include VMware, Hyper-V, Linux, Windows, and Active Directory; workloads also include SQL Server and Exchange Server. Pricing is on request, based on aggregated component subscriptions in 1 TB storage increments. Hardware or cloud availability may vary by geography.
