Testing

Acronis’s business continuity servers can be tested to prove each server can run your applications seamlessly—before you need to use them in a DR situation. Testing can prove the DR environment is configured properly and your written procedures (runbook) are complete and correct.

Acronis delivers peace of mind founded on the evidence of successful testing. Should you need to execute an actual failover, you can be confident in an uneventful success.

Testing is convenient. Testing has no impact on your production environment. It can be scheduled to easily accommodate the availability of people and resources, it permits the efficient and optimal utilization of subject matter experts.

Testing is a tool you can apply to different scopes. For example, you can test failover for an individual server, an application stack, or your entire data center.

Testing easily helps you identify elements that typically add complexity to failover, such as DNS changes, login scripts, and static IP addresses, and create and validate solutions. Testing enables you to develop a complete runbook that you can be confident in. There is a runbook template in the Support > Resources area of Recovery Console to get you started.
