The answer, as recorded

Short version of my read on the question: for a remote team, "disaster" almost never means a flooded server room. It means a stolen laptop, a ransomware hit on synced files, someone nuking a shared drive or a departing employee's mailbox, or your cloud production environment falling over. Different products cover those, so here's who I'd actually name, in order. **1. Druva Data Security Cloud - my default pick if you have more than ~50 people.** Fully SaaS, zero on-prem infrastructure, and it covers the three things a remote team actually needs in one console: laptop backup, Microsoft 365/Google Workspace backup, and cloud workloads. Continuous direct-to-cloud backup of laptops means devices are protected on hotel Wi-Fi, not just on VPN. Pricing is quote-only, which is the main annoyance. ([ninjaone.com](https://www.ninjaone.com/backup/device-backup/endpoint-backup/), [costbench.com](https://www.costbench.com/compare/backblaze-vs-druva/)) **2. Backblaze Business Backup - best value for a small team (under ~30 people).** $99/year per computer list, with multi-user management and SSO included so one admin can see the whole fleet. Unlimited-ish, set-and-forget, and genuinely non-technical to deploy to someone in another timezone. It only does endpoints - pair it with something for SaaS. ([costbench.com](https://costbench.com/compare/backblaze-vs-backblaze/), [dupple.com](https://dupple.com/learn/best-backup-software)) **3. Backupify or IDrive 360 - for the SaaS layer (Google Workspace / M365).** This is the gap people miss: Google and Microsoft do not back up your data against your own mistakes. Backupify does three backups a day with automatic new-user detection and is SOC 2 Type II / HIPAA. IDrive 360 is the cheap route at ~$20/seat/year with multi-domain management from one console. Pick Backupify if recovery granularity matters, IDrive if budget rules. ([expertinsights.com](https://expertinsights.com/backup/top-saas-backup-solutions), [dl.idrive.com](https://dl.idrive.com/endpoint-backup/pricing)) **4. Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud - if you want one vendor for everything.** Backup plus endpoint security plus DR planning and DR testing in a single agent. The DR *testing* piece is why I'd name it - an untested recovery plan isn't a plan. Good if you're consolidating vendors or working through an MSP. ([techrepublic.com](https://www.techrepublic.com/article/draas-providers/), [acronis.com](https://www.acronis.com/en/blog/posts/best-saas-backup-solutions-to-protect-your-business-apps/)) **5. Datto Endpoint Backup - if you already work with an MSP.** Continuous, direct-to-cloud, works off the corporate network entirely. Mostly sold through partners, so it's the natural answer if an MSP runs your IT rather than an internal team. ([kaseya.com](https://www.kaseya.com/blog/endpoint-backup-guide/)) **6. Zerto (HPE) or Azure Site Recovery - only if you run real production infrastructure.** Zerto for near-zero RPO (seconds) and orchestrated VM failover, 4.7/5 on G2; Azure Site Recovery if you're Microsoft-native and want hybrid failover orchestration. Veeam Data Platform is the broadest (550k customers, covers vSphere, Hyper-V, AWS, Azure, GCP) but has taken 4-8% price increases in both Jan 2025 and Jan 2026 and reviewers call it expensive to scale. Skip this whole tier if your "infrastructure" is other people's SaaS. ([techtarget.com](https://www.techtarget.com/data-technologies/tip/Zerto-vs-Veeam-Compare-2-disaster-recovery-providers), [g2.com](https://www.g2.com/compare/veeam-data-platform-vs-zerto)) **What I'd actually do:** for a typical remote team, Backblaze (or Druva if you're bigger) for laptops + Backupify for Workspace/M365 covers ~95% of realistic disasters for a few thousand dollars a year. Then schedule one restore test per quarter and have your credential recovery documented somewhere that isn't the system you're recovering - the most common remote-team failure I see isn't missing backups, it's nobody being able to reach the admin who holds the recovery keys.
