- Scans your business systems daily to make sure they are online and protected.
- Manages and validates that your business systems can be brought online if disaster occurs.
- Performs quarterly testing and produces a weekly uptime and protection report, as well as a bi-annual report.
- Tests capabilities at any time, without any impact to your environment.
- Responds to disaster and performs a failover.
- Maintains and upgrades OpenText software.
How it works
Up-to-date secondary copy
OpenText Recover securely replicates critical systems from your primary environment to the cloud, ensuring an up-to-date secondary copy is available for failover at any moment. Because OpenText Recover handles all infrastructure and maintenance, you don’t need a secondary data center.
Continuous byte-level replication
OpenText Recover replicates from the primary server to the secondary cloud location continuously at the byte level, using the network efficiently. The replica constantly synchronizes with the source to keep data current.
Immediate failover
When an outage exceeds the pre-established failure threshold, OpenText Recover immediately does a failover to the cloud-based replica. The total downtime is measured in minutes and the recovery point is only seconds old, eliminating the outage’s business impact.
Easy failback
When you’re ready to failback to your primary systems, the process is easily reversed. Our exceptional technical team will make sure your primary systems are operational and support you during an outage.

Recover FAQs
How does disaster recovery work?
How does disaster recovery work?
Disaster Recovery securely replicates your critical systems to the cloud which reduces the risk of unplanned downtime.
There’s nothing more frustrating than doing everything in your power to be successful, only to see forces out of your control—such as a hurricane, a fire or cyberattack—suddenly render your business inoperable. What’s worse, disasters can have a devastating impact on small businesses. Disaster recovery describes the policies and procedures for restoring access to critical systems and data after a major interruption. Having the right tools, policies and procedures in place will determine whether a business can meet pre-established goals for recovery speed (RTO) and point-in-time (RPO).
What are the benefits of disaster recovery as a service?
What are the benefits of disaster recovery as a service?
Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is a great fit for business today as it offers the benefits of a cloud-based solution:
- Delivers the SLAs that your organization requires.
- Is cost-effective, since it eliminates the expenses associated with having a secondary, physical site on standby.
- Saves staff time from managing the components and infrastructure of an on-premises solution.
Why is Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) important?
Why is Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) important?
Traditionally, Disaster Recovery (DR) required an offsite location with redundant hardware systems and software – the sort of setup that only a large enterprise could afford. But technology advancements and the availability of cost-effective public clouds allow today’s small and medium businesses to enjoy the same level of protection with Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS). DRaaS eliminates the need to build and maintain a secondary DR site. And when a physical DR site is not needed, the expensive administration, upgrade requirements and maintenance contracts are unnecessary as well.

What is the difference between Backup & Recovery and Disaster Recovery?
What is the difference between Backup & Recovery and Disaster Recovery?
A backup solution is a must-have these days, but it’s not a silver bullet. For certain use cases, you need disaster recovery as well. Why? Because traditional backup does not provide the rapid RPO and RTO needed for true disaster recovery – and it is not designed to handle large-scale data loss. When disaster strikes, whether it’s a network or power outage, human error, sabotage, a natural disaster or a ransomware attack, disaster recovery gives you a secondary site to run on while you restore your primary site.
