Why it's non-negotiable

Backup restores files. DR restores your business.

A server crash, ransomware attack or power failure can bring your business to a standstill — and you can't afford to wait hours or days to get back online. Acronis DR lets you spin up full production environments in minutes with no extra hardware, from the same console and agent you already use for backup.

Backup solutionDisaster recovery (DR)
Stores backup copies of files for long-term archival, used as and when needed.Maintains a functional standby copy of your IT system to restore operations and avoid downtime.
Covers host failures, small cyberattacks, accidental deletions and hardware failures.Prepares for natural disasters, hardware failure, data breaches and ransomware attacks.
Longer RTOs and RPOs make backups unsuitable as a contingency plan during a disaster.Built for much shorter RTOs and RPOs — reliably restore operations in far less time.
Usually stored compressed, taking up little storage space.Needs its own separate site and fully integrated infrastructure with dedicated virtual capacity.
Covers servers, workstations and mobile devices.Scope can include all of an organisation's business-critical systems and servers.

FAQ

Disaster recovery in Dubai — FAQs.

Backup creates and archives copies of files to prevent data loss. Disaster Recovery goes further — it maintains a standby, functional copy of your entire IT system offsite, so you can restore full business operations quickly after a critical failure. DR focuses on minimal downtime; backups focus on data archival.

Acronis uses one console and one agent for both backup and recovery — so you can orchestrate complex failover, including virtualising your production environment in the cloud, all from a single dashboard without extra hardware or tools.

RTO (Recovery Time Objective) is the maximum time your business can be down after a disaster; RPO (Recovery Point Objective) is the maximum data you can afford to lose. We customise both to your constraints so your DR meets your exact continuity needs.

DRaaS is a cloud-based DR solution where we back up and mirror your IT infrastructure on secure virtual servers in a third-party cloud. When a disaster hits, you instantly fail over to the cloud and continue operations — paying only for the services you use.
