Proven with dated screenshot evidence
Acronis boots your recovery server in an isolated environment, captures a screenshot, and validates automatically that it started cleanly, without touching live production.

Frequently Asked Questions
Disaster recovery at Nexcess keeps a live, bootable copy of your server running in the cloud, with network routes verified, health monitored in your portal, and bootability proven by automated test failovers. If your primary server goes down, you have a secondary copy off-site ready to take over operations.
At Nexcess, disaster recovery is cloud-based: your server’s live, bootable copy replicates to Acronis Cloud, off-site and ready to take over the moment you need it.
Nexcess handles the parts that take real infrastructure expertise: provisioning your disaster recovery environment, configuring and verifying the network path, monitoring replication health, and running automated test failovers with evidence you can hand an auditor.
That is managed disaster recovery. What stays yours is the decision to declare a disaster and the choice to initiate failover and failback, because at 2am on a Saturday nobody wants to wait on a ticket to start their own recovery.
If you want us in the driver’s seat during an actual event too, our Elite tier adds managed runbook execution, where a Nexcess engineer runs the recovery from our console and you confirm each step. Not sure which to choose? Chat with an expert today to find the right solution for you.
If your business relies on cloud infrastructure to operate or generate revenue, the time to invest in a disaster recovery solution is now. Key reasons include:
- Cybersecurity vulnerability: Your industry is frequently targeted by ransomware, malware, or DDoS attacks.
- Revenue and scale sensitivity: If even a few hours of downtime translates into significant lost sales, abandoned carts, or damage to your brand reputation.
- Regulatory compliance: You collect, process, or store sensitive customer data, financial records, or health information that is governed by strict compliance standards (e.g., HIPAA, GDPR).
Yes, Nexcess disaster recovery solutions are highly adaptable and can be engineered to protect virtually any type of cloud hosting architecture. Contact us now to learn how we can help you protect your workloads.
A runbook answers three questions: whether a disaster recovery plan exists and is scoped to your current environment, and in what order the servers come back online. When building your runbook a Nexcess engineer works through your environment, dependencies, and recovery order, and at the end you have a documented process your team can use and your auditor can understand.
Acronis is a cyber protection platform that combines backup, anti-ransomware, and disaster recovery. We run on it because it’s proven technology the enterprise already trusts. The difference with us is that our engineers deliver, monitor, and recover on it for you.
