Best Disaster Recovery Software in 2026

Recovering services after an outage involves both workload fit and preparation for restoration. Compared on deployment model, supported workloads, and RPO target, these tools also list failover and failback orchestration, recovery runbooks, and test failover. Veeam Recovery Orchestrator, Veeam Agent for Mac, and Veeam Kasten for Kubernetes are options to assess against the systems your team needs to recover. Free-plan availability and paid-from pricing add cost context; compare those details with the recovery planning and testing capabilities shown.
