Stay ahead of cyberattacks with a comprehensive Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) Solution
Get clients running in mere minutes by spinning up IT systems in the Acronis Cloud with full site-to-site connectivity and the ability to recover them to similar or dissimilar hardware.
Fast recovery
Three-click setup
Easy management
Deliver disaster recovery services with ease
Disaster recovery orchestration
Site-to-site VPN connection
Enable secure VPN connection between the client’s local site and the cloud site to facilitate partial failover of tightly dependent servers on the local site. When one of the servers is recreated on the cloud site, the servers continue to communicate, ensuring minimal downtime.
Test Disaster Recovery Readiness
Perform DR testing in an isolated environment to confirm application availability, ensure compliance, and prove DR readiness — without any impact on production systems.
Execution monitoring
Gain visibility into disaster recovery orchestration with a detailed runbook-execution real-time view and execution history.
Disaster recovery for physical and virtual workloads
Minimize downtime by enabling easy, scalable and efficient cloud based recovery of all popular workloads including Windows and Linux physical servers and VMs, major hypervisors, and Microsoft apps.
Production failover
Ensure quick and easy automated failover of the client’s production environment to an offsite server running in the Acronis Disaster Recovery Storage or to a hot storage in the Acronis Cloud.
Automated test failover
Save time and effort with a simplified, automated test failover. With the Advanced Disaster recovery pack, you can perform scheduled test failover for any server on a monthly basis, giving you the confidence that you can recover quickly and successfully.
Point-in-time recovery
Prevent data loss and avoid data corruption with granularity of control over data protection and recovery capabilities. Restore systems and data to any recoverable point in the past, instead of to the latest one.
IPsec multisite VPN support
Strengthen security with IPSec multisite VPN support that integrates secure protocols and algorithms, so you can easily support clients with multiple sites that are hosting critical workloads with higher requirements for security, compliance and bandwidth.
Custom DNS configuration
Create custom DNS configurations for disaster recovery cloud services in the Acronis cloud. This enables you to easily adjust DNS settings for your clients – making it even easier for you to support them.
Cost-efficient and scalable Hybrid Disaster Recovery (DR)
Combine the full power of Acronis Advanced DR with your home network. One solution provides the best of both to protect client data, systems, and applications — achieving compliance, reducing latency, and optimizing costs.
GDPR, data sovereignty, and regulatory compliance
Deliver a full-featured DR solution that complies with geographic directives and industry best practices for financial, medical, consumer, and business data
When the cloud is just not fast enough
Some businesses, systems, and services require exceptional recovery SLAs. Eliminate latency risks by recovering locally

What is MSP disaster recovery?
MSP disaster recovery is a service offered by managed service providers to clients that require a disaster recovery solution as a service (DRaaS) to ensure business continuity and client access to their data following a disaster, including a ransomware attack, hardware failure, natural disaster, or any other unplanned outage.
Where should I back up my clients’ data to perform disaster recovery?
To be able to failover your clients’ critical workloads, you should back up the data to Acronis Cloud Storage (or cold storage for backups). As the disaster occurs, fail over your clients’ workloads to the offsite server running in the Acronis Disaster Recovery Storage (or hot storage in the Acronis Cloud).
What data should I back up for effective disaster recovery?
For reliable disaster recovery, you need to look beyond simply copying all of your clients’ databases and files. Their entire infrastructure – servers, PCs, NAS, SAN, hypervisors, and endpoints – contains vital production data. You’ll need to capture application settings, operating system configurations, bookmarks, and registry data for a full recovery.
What is a disaster recovery solution?
Disaster recovery solutions allow companies to quickly resume business-critical workloads after cyberattacks, natural disasters, or server failures. The disaster recovery process normally involves a separate physical or cloud site to restore data. Every disaster recovery solution aims to help businesses operate as usual. Since business continuity depends on high availability, disaster recovery strategies depend on tight RPOs and RTOs.
What’s the difference between backup and disaster recovery solutions?
Backups are simple; they are copy of your corporate systems and data that can be used to bring a failed system back online. Disaster recovery refers to a more advanced form of system copies that include processing capabilities.
Do MSPs need cloud DR services?
As a managed service provider, you should consider offering a cloud disaster recovery (DR) service — also called Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) — to protect your client’s workloads, limit downtime, and shorten recovery point objectives (RPOs) in the event of unplanned outage. With DRaaS, your clients do not need to invest in additional hardware and software or IT expertise to develop, test and execute an in-house DR strategy. Instead, your organization provides the services to replicate your clients’ systems and data to a cloud infrastructure and orchestrate the failover and failback process.
