## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-02 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Short version: "disaster recovery" for a small business usually means one of three different things - backing up SaaS data (Microsoft 365/Google Workspace), backing up laptops, or being able to keep servers running after a failure. Here's who I'd actually name, roughly in the order I'd consider them:
> 
> **1. Datto SIRIS / Datto Alto (Kaseya)** - The default answer for small businesses with on-premises servers. A local appliance takes image-based backups and can spin the failed server up as a VM locally *or* in Datto's cloud, so you're running again in minutes rather than restoring overnight. Includes ransomware detection on the backup chain. Caveat: it's sold through managed service providers, not direct, so you need an MSP relationship. Alto is the cheaper small-office version of SIRIS.
> 
> **2. Axcient x360Recover** - The main alternative to Datto in the same MSP channel, and generally the better value. Its "Direct-to-Cloud" mode skips the local appliance entirely, which suits businesses that are mostly laptops and cloud apps. Also MSP-delivered.
> 
> **3. Acronis Cyber Protect** - The best option if you want to buy it yourself without an MSP. Bundles backup, DR failover, and antivirus/an
