## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-27 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## First, the fork in the road
> 
> "Disaster recovery" means two different purchases. If you mean physical - fire, flood, burst pipe - that's restoration contractors (ServPro, ServiceMaster Restore), and you line one up *before* you need them. Everything below is the IT version: getting your servers, files, and email back after ransomware, hardware death, or a cloud outage.
> 
> Also worth saying up front: for most small businesses the real exposure isn't a server room. It's Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, where Microsoft's own shared-responsibility model says *your* data is *your* problem. If you only do one thing, do #4.
> 
> ## What I'd actually recommend, in order
> 
> **1. Datto BCDR (SIRIS) - via a managed service provider.** The default answer if you still have on-prem servers that must come back fast. Local appliance plus cloud replication, so you can spin workloads up in the Datto cloud if the building is gone. You can't buy it direct - it's MSP-only, which is a feature if you don't have IT staff and a nuisance if you do. Expect roughly $350-600/appliance/month on a 1-3 year term, per third-party estimates.
