Datto BCDR (SIRIS/ALTO), bought through an MSP** - The default answer for a small business with an on-prem server or two. You get an appliance that takes image-based backups, replicates to Datto's cloud, and can boot your server as a VM locally or in their cloud while you fix the real one. The catch: Kaseya sells it only via managed service providers, so there's no public price and you're buying a relationship with your MSP as much as the product. ([G2 comparison](https://www.g2.com/compare/acronis-cyber-protect-cloud-vs-datto-bcdr), [buyer's guide](https://anavem.com/best-tools/best-draas-solutions-2026))\n\n**2. Axcient x360Recover** - Same idea as Datto, meaningfully cheaper, also MSP-delivered. Flat all-inclusive pricing with pooled storage, month-to-month, no long-term contract, and a direct-to-cloud (appliance-free) mode that's ideal if you have no server room. This is what I'd ask my MSP to quote against Datto.
