Arcfra Backup & DR
Native, Agentless Backup & Disaster Recovery with RPO=0
Arcfra's native backup and DR solution provides agentless data protection with stretched active-active clustering (RPO=0, RTO in minutes) and asynchronous replication for multi-site disaster recovery architecture.
What is the Arcfra Backup & DR?
Arcfra Backup & DR is built natively into the AECP platform — not a third-party add-on. This integration delivers unique advantages: agentless backup requires no software installation on VMs, reducing overhead and compatibility issues. Stretched active-active clustering maintains synchronous replication between sites, achieving RPO=0 (zero data loss) and RTO measured in minutes. For geographic separation, asynchronous replication supports three-centers-two-cities architecture — the gold standard for financial and government compliance. The centralized management console provides policy-based protection, automatic failover testing, and cross-city topology awareness. Disk data checksums and multi-replica redundancy ensure data integrity at every layer.

How the Arcfra Backup & DR Benefits Your Organization
Real, measurable advantages that translate into operational efficiency, cost savings, and risk reduction.
Near-Zero Recovery Time
RTO measured in minutes, not hours. Active-active clustering keeps standby systems warm — failover is automatic and nearly instantaneous when primary systems fail.
Zero Data Loss Guarantee
Synchronous replication between active-active clusters achieves RPO=0 — every transaction is written to both sites before acknowledgment. No data loss, ever.
No Agent Management Overhead
Agentless backup eliminates the compatibility, update, and performance headaches of traditional backup agents — reducing administrative burden by 70%.
Multi-Site Compliance Architecture
Three-centers-two-cities architecture meets the strictest regulatory requirements for financial services, government, and critical infrastructure operators.
Tested Recovery Confidence
Automated failover testing validates recovery procedures without disrupting production — so you know your DR plan works before you need it.
Data Integrity at Every Layer
Disk checksums detect silent data corruption. Multi-replica redundancy ensures data survives even multiple simultaneous disk failures.
Challenges We Solve
Every product in our portfolio addresses specific operational pain points. Here is how the Arcfra Backup & DR solves yours.
Traditional backup solutions require agents installed on every VM — creating compatibility issues, update cycles, and performance overhead.
Arcfra Backup & DR is agentless — leveraging native AECP integration to capture VM data without installing any software on guest systems. Zero agent overhead, zero compatibility issues.
Most DR solutions have RPO of hours and RTO of days — unacceptable for mission-critical applications like banking and healthcare.
Stretched active-active clustering delivers RPO=0 (zero data loss) and RTO in minutes. Standby systems are always warm — failover happens automatically with minimal disruption.
Regulatory compliance requires geographic separation of primary and disaster recovery sites, but implementing this is architecturally complex.
Three-centers-two-cities architecture is built into the platform. Asynchronous replication to geographically separated DR sites meets regulatory requirements without custom engineering.
Organizations discover their DR plan does not work only when disaster strikes — too late to fix the problems.
Automated failover testing runs recovery drills on schedule without impacting production. You validate your DR readiness continuously, not just during annual audits.
