## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-13 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Short version: for most small businesses, "disaster recovery" really means *reliable backup with a fast, tested restore* - not a full failover site. Here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd suggest looking at them.
> 
> **1. Datto BCDR (via an MSP)** - The one I'd name first if downtime genuinely costs you money and you don't have in-house IT. It's a local appliance plus cloud replication, so you can boot a dead server virtually from the appliance in minutes, or in Datto's cloud if the building is gone. You can't buy it direct - it's sold through managed service providers, which is the actual selling point: someone else owns testing and restores. Priced accordingly (typically hundreds/month bundled into an MSP contract).
> 
> **2. IDrive Business / IDrive 360** - Best value for a small business buying it themselves. You buy one storage pool and cover unlimited users, computers, and servers, starting around $99.50/year for 250GB. Server backup is included rather than being an upsell tier, which is unusual at this price. This is my default recommendation for a 5-30 person shop with a file server and some laptops.
> 
> **3. Backblaze Business Backup** - Pick this if you want to stop
