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.
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.
Every business will have its own unique requirements, so a good plan will minimize the complexity of the disaster recovery process. When creating a disaster recovery plan for your clients, you will first need to assess the applications, process, and cost versus risk which will help define your approach.
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.
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).
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.
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.
