Datto
Datto introduces the next generation of backup, disaster recovery and Business Continuity solutions. Using image-based backup allows Datto to take an image (ie: picture) of an entire system, not simply individual files or applications. This contributes to a superior Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and the ability to boot virtual machines. Image-based backup is an integral component of Intelligent Business Continuity.

Acronis and Datto are both popular data backup and disaster recovery solutions. They provide options for hybrid cloud backups and support both on-premise and cloud storage. Both products include cybersecurity features, like ransomware protection and offer centralized management dashboard.

But Acronis (first released in 2003) is Switzerland-based backup software for physical, virtual and cloud environments. It's known for strong focus on data protection and provides AI-based anti-malware and antivirus features as well as secure file sync and share. Acronis offers flexible pricing plans for individual users, small business and enterprise.

Datto (2007) focuses primarily on enterprise and managed service providers. In particular it includes Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery appliances with built-in local storage for MSPs. It promises ease of deployment and maintenance and high-demand recovery level, integrates with Remote Monitoring and Management and Professional Services Automation tools.
