Disaster Recovery as a Service - Off-Line DR

Acronis can have a full then incremental backup of the servers from anywhere into our data center. In case of disaster, when it is called by the service owner, the backups can be recovered fully into a Cloud Server or a Virtual Machine. They will be booted once the disaster is called.

Administrators just need to have set a secondary IP in their DNS server. This is the most cost effective, yet the recovery can take up to 4 hours depending on the size of the servers. Expect some loss of data depending on the backup frequency.

Cloud Acropolis provides all necessary resources for a proper, secure and robust disaster recovery solution for a very reasonable price. The process is fairly simple. Through Acronis, all servers are backed up fully and incrementally. Regardless of where the servers are, this can be done.

The backup frequency can be as low as every 5 minutes till once a week. The norm indicates at least once a day, but as we at Cloud Acropolis hate data loss, we recommend every 5 minutes. These backups will be seen as server images that we could recover at any given time.

How Offline DR Works

Customer Pre-Configuration

Based on the number of servers they would like to recover, customers pre-configure their servers in Cloud Acropolis and pay for 1 month of rent (including the setup fees).

Disaster Recovery Process

Once a disaster is called by the business owner, the images will be used to turn on the servers that are pre-booked. It will take an average of 30 minutes to 4 hours (depending on the size of the storage for each server) for the services to come live.

The client's IT administrator then needs to adjust their network for users to connect to the new servers in Cloud Acropolis.
