Best Disaster Recovery Solutions in 2026

Veeam Software traces its history to 2006 and states that it employs more than 7,000 people. In its December 2025 announcement of the Securiti AI acquisition it described itself as headquartered in Seattle, with offices in more than 30 countries and more than 550,000 customers, including 82% of the Fortune 500. The Veeam Data Platform is sold in three cumulative editions. Foundation covers backup and recovery for all supported workloads; Advanced adds monitoring, analytics and threat detection; Premium adds orchestrated recovery, recovery validation testing and compliance reporting. For disaster recovery, Veeam relies on Instant Recovery, which runs workloads directly from backup storage, and on continuous data protection for low RPOs. The company states that its portable backup format lets customers recover to AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or most hypervisors, and that cleanroom recovery is supported. The US$1.725 billion Securiti AI purchase, completed on 11 December 2025, added data security posture management to the portfolio. Veeam is privately held and does not publish revenue in a regulatory filing, and it does not list prices on its pricing page.

Zerto is a software-only platform for disaster recovery, ransomware resilience and workload mobility, owned by Hewlett Packard Enterprise. HPE bought the company for a net cash price of US$374 million in a deal announced on 1 July 2021 and closed by early September 2021; at that time Zerto was co-headquartered in Herzliya, Israel, and Boston, had about 500 employees and around 9,000 customers, including more than 350 managed service providers. Its defining technology is continuous data protection: near-synchronous streaming replication of every write, held in a journal so that a workload can be rolled back to a point only seconds before a failure or encryption event. Zerto states that restore points are separated by 5 to 15 seconds and that the approach avoids snapshot-based replication. Supported environments include VMware vSphere, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, IBM Cloud and VMware running in public clouds, and immutable copies can be kept in Azure Blob, Amazon S3 or S3-compatible storage. A Cyber Resilience Vault provides an air-gapped recovery option. Zerto is strongest for virtualised and cloud workloads; it does not position itself as a general long-term backup product.

Cohesity is a privately held data-protection and data-security company led by President and CEO Sanjay Poonen. On 10 December 2024 it completed its combination with Veritas' enterprise data-protection business, bringing Veritas NetBackup, NetBackup appliances and the Veritas Alta data-protection services into its portfolio alongside its own products. The transaction was financed by a Series H round led by Haveli Investments, with Coatue, Sapphire Ventures and Dragon Fund also investing, and debt arranged by JPMorgan Chase; it valued the combined company at more than US$7 billion. At completion Cohesity stated that it served more than 12,000 customers, including more than 85 of the Fortune 100 and nearly 70% of the Global 500, and described itself as the largest data-protection software provider by market share. It made a "no customer left behind" commitment to support both the Cohesity and NetBackup product lines. For disaster recovery this gives customers two established engines: NetBackup, long used in large heterogeneous data centres, and Cohesity's own platform. Cohesity's website blocked automated access during this review, so product-level features and prices could not be verified and are omitted.

Rubrik, Inc. is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (ticker RBRK) and describes Rubrik Security Cloud as securing, monitoring and recovering data, identities and workloads across clouds. For the fiscal year ended 31 January 2026 it reported total revenue of US$1.316 billion, subscription revenue of US$1.264 billion and subscription annual recurring revenue of US$1.462 billion, with 2,805 customers paying US$100,000 or more in subscription ARR. Rubrik's disaster recovery positioning centres on cyber recovery: restoring clean data after ransomware or a destructive attack rather than only after infrastructure failure. Recent additions described in the fiscal 2026 results release include Intelligent Business Recovery for Microsoft 365, which prioritises recovery of critical users and data across Exchange, OneDrive, SharePoint and Teams; Rubrik DevOps Protection for Azure DevOps and GitHub; and Rubrik Security Cloud Sovereign, which gives customers control over data residency. The company also launched Rubrik Agent Cloud for monitoring and undoing actions by AI agents. Rubrik's product pages blocked automated access during this review, so capabilities are limited to those named in its SEC filing.

Commvault Systems is listed on Nasdaq and reported fiscal 2026 revenue of US$1.184 billion for the year ended 31 March 2026, with total ARR of US$1.122 billion, subscription ARR of US$989 million and SaaS ARR of US$400 million at year end. Its recovery portfolio has three DR-relevant parts. Commvault Cleanroom, sold as an add-on, creates isolated on-demand environments for testing recovery plans, analysing affected data and confirming that restored data is clean, with runbooks and documented evidence for audits. Cloud Rewind discovers cloud resources, maps application dependencies and rebuilds infrastructure, configurations and services across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud without customer-written infrastructure-as-code. Cloud Rewind derives from Appranix, whose acquisition Commvault announced in April 2024. The company's fiscal 2026 results also referred to its acquisition of Satori, a data and AI security company. Related products listed by Commvault include CyberRecover, Clumio CloudRecover and Commvault Air Gap. Commvault does not publish list prices.

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery (AWS DRS) is Amazon Web Services' native service for recovering on-premises servers, applications running in other clouds, and workloads in another AWS Region into AWS. Data replicates continuously to a staging subnet in the customer's AWS account using low-cost storage and minimal compute, and AWS states that the service enables RPOs of seconds and RTOs of minutes for on-premises recovery. Recovery instances can be launched from the latest state or from an earlier point in time, and the service supports non-disruptive drills, failback to the primary site and automated clean-up of drill resources. Features added to the service include bulk launch settings, post-launch actions through AWS Systems Manager, replication of network components such as subnets, security groups and route tables, and recovery into an existing instance so that metadata and security settings are preserved. Pricing is the most transparent in this list: US$0.028 per source server per hour with no upfront fee, plus the EBS volumes, snapshots and EC2 replication servers consumed. The limitation is the target: AWS DRS recovers only into AWS.

Azure Site Recovery (ASR) is Microsoft's disaster recovery service for replicating workloads from a primary site to a secondary location and failing over and back from the Azure portal. It replicates Azure virtual machines between regions, and on-premises VMware and Hyper-V virtual machines, Windows and Linux physical servers, Azure Stack VMs and AWS Windows instances into Azure; on-premises machines managed by System Center can also be replicated to a customer's own secondary site. Microsoft documents continuous replication for Azure and VMware VMs and a replication frequency as low as 30 seconds for Hyper-V, application-consistent recovery points, non-disruptive DR drills, and recovery plans that sequence multi-tier applications and can call Azure Automation runbooks. A high-churn option supports Azure VMs with data change rates of up to 100 MB/s, and up to 500 MB/s in some configurations. Each protected instance is free for its first 31 days; after that Microsoft's retail price list shows US$25 per instance per month for replication to Azure and US$16 for replication to a customer-owned site, excluding storage.

Druva is a privately held provider of SaaS data protection whose founder, Jaspreet Singh, remains chief executive; his company biography says Druva is valued at more than US$2 billion, and its board includes representatives of Sequoia Capital, Nexus Venture Partners, Riverwood Capital, Tenaya Capital and CDPQ. Its disaster recovery offering backs up VMware virtual machines or cloud workloads and recovers them in AWS without customer-managed hardware, software or DR sites. For VMware, Druva states an RPO of about one hour and an RTO of minutes, with failover and failback across AWS regions and failback to on-premises servers or VMware Cloud on AWS; for AWS workloads it recovers Amazon EC2 and RDS resources across regions or accounts and can clone DR environments. Automated runbook execution and unlimited automated testing are included for audit purposes. Druva states that it was named a Leader in Gartner's 2026 Magic Quadrant. Prices are not shown on its pricing page, which lists per-workload tiers, a per-user SaaS Universal License and an Essentials Pack for small and mid-size businesses.

Backup and DR is Google Cloud's managed service for centralised, policy-based backup and recovery of workloads in Google Cloud and hybrid environments. It protects Compute Engine instances, Persistent Disk, Filestore and Google Cloud VMware Engine VMs; managed databases including Cloud SQL and AlloyDB; self-managed Oracle, SQL Server, SAP HANA, MySQL and PostgreSQL on virtual machines or Bare Metal Solution; and Bare Metal Solution servers, with crash-consistent or application-consistent copies. Backups are held in Google-managed backup vaults that act as the main security boundary and enforce write-once, read-many immutability, with a minimum retention period of up to 99 years. The service is managed through the Google Cloud console, Terraform and APIs. Google is retiring the older appliance-based management console: it was deprecated on 30 September 2026, new backups on the legacy stack end on 30 September 2027 and standard restores continue until 31 March 2028. The product is a backup-and-restore service rather than a continuous replication engine, so achievable RPOs depend on backup frequency.

Datto SIRIS is a business continuity and disaster recovery product that combines an on-premises appliance, backup software and recovery in the Datto Cloud. Datto has been part of Kaseya since 23 June 2022, when Kaseya completed its US$6.2 billion acquisition at US$35.50 per share; at that time Kaseya said Datto would continue as an autonomous brand operating from Norwalk, Connecticut, and that list prices on Datto products would fall by an average of 10% or more for new purchases. SIRIS can virtualise protected systems on the local appliance or in the cloud, keeps copies off-site in an immutable cloud, and verifies backups with screenshot checks of boot states, for which Datto claims over 99% accuracy. Security features include encryption, enforced two-factor authentication and Cloud Deletion Defense. Pricing is flat-fee through partners; Datto states that the hardware is provided at no charge and that cloud administration, ingress, egress, DR testing and disaster recovery are not billed separately. The product is sold through managed service providers rather than directly to end customers.

Acronis describes itself as a Swiss technology company founded in Singapore and headquartered in Schaffhausen, Switzerland; it states that more than 21,000 service providers use its products and that it serves customers in more than 150 countries. Disaster recovery is an integrated capability of its Cyber Protect platform that adds cloud failover, recovery testing and failback for critical workloads, using protected backups to recover supported workloads in the Acronis cloud. Recovery options include physical-to-virtual and virtual-to-virtual conversion, and one-click recovery can coordinate the restoration of several machines. Instant Restore can run VMware or Hyper-V virtual machines directly from backups while full recovery continues, which Acronis distinguishes from DR failover. The company runs a network of more than 50 data centres and lists SOC 2 and IEC 62443-4-1 among its certifications. DR entitlements depend on the plan, and service-provider pricing depends on licensing model, protected workloads, storage and enabled services; no DR-specific prices are published.

Cove Data Protection is the backup and disaster recovery product of N-able, a supplier of software to managed service providers that also sells endpoint management and security products. N-able states that it serves more than 14,000 MSPs and that its products protect more than 200,000 businesses. Cove is cloud-native: servers, workstations and SaaS data are backed up directly to N-able's cloud without local appliances, and disaster recovery as a service is offered without upfront hardware or ongoing maintenance. Backups are isolated by default, immutable, encrypted and protected by mandatory multi-factor authentication. N-able's TrueDelta deduplication permits backups as often as every 15 minutes, which sets the practical RPO. Automated recovery testing supports compliance, worldwide cloud storage is included in the price, and Microsoft 365 backup is offered with Google Workspace backup in public preview. N-able reports that Omdia named Cove a global managed BDR Champion for the third year running in its 2026 report. Prices are not listed, though the company presents them as all-inclusive.

NAKIVO sells Backup & Replication, a self-hosted product for virtual, physical, cloud and SaaS workloads, and states that it is used by more than 16,000 businesses in 190 countries.

Perpetual licences are also offered per CPU socket, per server bundle, per workstation bundle or per terabyte of NAS data. NAKIVO's pricing page displays prices through a calculator; exact amounts could not be retrieved for this review. Its company page did not state a founding year or headquarters.

Arcserve Unified Data Protection (UDP) is a backup and recovery product for on-premises, virtual and cloud environments managed from one console. Arcserve states that it has 50,000 customers and 10,000 partners and supports more than 300 platforms, systems and applications. For disaster recovery UDP provides local and remote virtual standby, which keeps a bootable copy of protected machines ready on a standby host, along with instant VM recovery and bare-metal recovery. It protects VMware, Hyper-V, Nutanix AHV and Proxmox both with and without agents, and adds automated recovery testing that checks RTO and RPO and produces audit-ready validation, AI-based anomaly detection and global deduplication. Arcserve also sells Disaster Recovery Runbooks, Replication and High Availability, and UDP Cloud Hybrid as separate products. UDP comes in Standard, Advanced and Premium editions, and Arcserve's Ransomware Protection and Recovery Suites include a Premium licence with cloud-based immutable storage.

Unitrends, described on its website as a Kaseya company, sells backup appliances, virtual-appliance backup software, cloud storage and disaster recovery as a service. Its product range covers data-centre backup, backup and DR for Azure and AWS workloads, SaaS backup for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace and Salesforce, and direct-to-cloud endpoint backup with an optional DR tier. Recovery Assurance automatically tests recoverability and validates backups at the application level, and Unitrends' DRaaS can start critical workloads in its cloud without manual steps under service-level agreements. The company says it opened newer data centres in the US and Canada in October 2023 and runs an all-flash DRaaS platform, and refers to 35 years of product development. Unitrends sells through resellers and MSPs as well as directly, and directs buyers to a pricing request form rather than publishing prices. Within Kaseya it sits alongside Datto, which the group acquired in 2022.
