## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-22 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Quick framing note: "disaster recovery" in a business IT context means getting your systems and data running again fast (ransomware, dead server, flood), which is what I'll cover. If you meant physical restoration - water/fire/mold cleanup - that's a different industry and I've put a line at the bottom.
> 
> The honest answer is that what to buy depends mostly on one thing: whether you still run servers on-premises or you're all-cloud/SaaS. Here's what I'd actually name, in order.
> 
> ## If you have on-prem servers and no IT staff
> 
> **1. Datto BCDR (SIRIS) through a local MSP** - my default recommendation for a 10-100 person business with a server in a closet. You get a local appliance that takes image-based snapshots, can boot a failed server as a VM on the appliance within minutes, and replicates to Datto's cloud. The real value is that it's sold and monitored by a managed service provider, so someone else is watching the backup alerts and owns the restore. Downside: no public pricing, and you're buying through a middleman - expect roughly $150-$300 per server per month bundled into an MSP contract.
