How does Acorn Recovery differ from standard BaaS or DRaaS?

Acorn Recovery is a form of DRaaS (Disaster Recovery as a Service), while BaaS refers to Backup as a Service. Although both services focus on protecting your data, they serve different purposes and offer different levels of recovery capability.

Acorn Recovery (DRaaS)

• Recovers entire systems after a disaster

• Provides failover to a secondary site during a production outage

• Includes disaster recovery planning and testing

• Supports RTO (Recovery Time Objective) and RPO (Recovery Point Objective) targets

• More complex to set up and generally higher in cost compared to BaaS

• Ideal for mission-critical workloads that must remain online during disasters

BaaS (Backup as a Service)

• Backs up files and folders to the cloud

• Focuses on data protection and long-term retention

• Recovery is manual and slower, requiring data restoration which is suitable for non-urgent recovery needs

• Easier to set up and more cost-effective

• Not designed for full system or infrastructure recovery

In short, Acorn Recovery (DRaaS) is best for keeping critical systems running during an outage, while BaaS is best for long-term data protection and recovery when speed and system continuity are less urgent.
