BACKUP & DISASTER RECOVERY

Axcient — Backup & Disaster Recovery Built for MSPs

Axcient's x360 platform delivers full business continuity and disaster recovery, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace backup, and file sync and share — built specifically for the MSP model. One of two BDR platforms Brivy IT trusts to protect our clients' data.

Built Platform

We love Axcient. Great tools across the board — backup, disaster recovery, cloud backup, and file sync. Along with Datto, it is one of two platforms we trust for protecting our clients’ data.

Backup is not valuable until the day you need it. Clients have needed real restores and Axcient has delivered. That is the whole point.

What Axcient x360 Covers

  • x360Recover — Full business continuity and disaster recovery. Image-based backups with instant virtualization, bare metal restore, and cloud failover.
  • x360Cloud — Backup for Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace — email, OneDrive, SharePoint, Teams, and Google Drive protected and restorable.
  • x360Sync — Secure file sync and share with centralized management, replacing consumer-grade file sharing tools.
  • Multi-Tenant Management — Built for MSPs with centralized dashboards across all client environments.
  • Chain-Free Backup — Axcient’s proprietary technology eliminates backup chain dependencies, reducing restore failures.

How Brivy IT Deploys Axcient

We use the full x360 suite depending on the client’s needs:

  • x360Recover — For clients who need full server and workstation backup with disaster recovery capabilities.
  • x360Cloud — For every client running Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace — your cloud data needs its own backup.
  • x360Sync — For clients who need secure file sharing and collaboration without consumer-grade tools.

Axcient vs. Datto — Our Perspective

We run about 50/50 between Axcient and Datto. Both are great tools. Which one we deploy depends on the client’s environment, budget, and total data volume. There is no universal winner — it is about what fits.

Both platforms have proven themselves in real recovery scenarios for our clients. That is the only metric that matters for backup.

GREAT FIT IF YOU…
  • Need reliable backup and disaster recovery for servers and workstations
  • Running Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace and need cloud data backup
  • Want a BDR platform with instant virtualization and cloud failover
  • Business where downtime costs real money and recovery speed matters
NOT THE BEST FIT IF YOU…
  • Only need basic file backup without disaster recovery
  • Looking for the absolute cheapest backup option available
  • Single workstation with no critical data

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Brivy IT use Axcient?
Axcient is built specifically for MSPs, has proven itself in real client recovery scenarios, and delivers strong tools across backup, DR, cloud backup, and file sync. It earns its place in our stack by performing when it matters most.
Do I need both Axcient and Microsoft 365 backup?
Yes. Microsoft's built-in retention is not the same as backup. If data is deleted, encrypted by ransomware, or a user account is compromised, you need a separate backup to restore from. x360Cloud provides that protection.
How fast can you restore from an Axcient backup?
Axcient supports instant virtualization — we can spin up your server as a virtual machine from the backup image within minutes. Full bare metal restores depend on data size but are typically measured in hours, not days.
Is Axcient included in managed agreements?
Backup and disaster recovery is part of our managed IT offering. Whether we deploy Axcient or Datto depends on your specific environment and needs — we recommend whichever platform fits best.
