Test your failover before you need it

Run a fake disaster on a safe copy of your systems. See if your recovery really works. Find the gaps before a real outage does.

Every cloud gives you backup. None let you test the failover without risk. Rediacc does.

THE PROBLEM

Untested failover is just a hope

You have a disaster recovery plan. But when did you last test it? Most teams never do. They just hope it works. Then the outage hits at 3 AM and they find out it doesn't. A plan you never test isn't a plan. It's a wish.

Only 13% of teams use automated DR workflows Veeam 2024 Data Protection Trends Report [1]
Only 32% of teams can recover 50 servers within one work week Veeam 2024 Data Protection Trends Report [1]
Only 58% of servers came back on time during recovery tests Veeam 2024 Data Protection Trends Report [1]

Revenue risk: hourly revenue × expected downtime hours. Recovery labor: 3 engineers × downtime hours × $200/hr × 3 services each. Churn: 20% of revenue at risk (conservative estimate). Compliance: 10% of revenue lost. Only 13% of organizations use orchestrated DR workflows (Veeam 2024) [1]. With monthly automated testing, gaps are caught and fixed before they matter.
HOW IT WORKS

One command. Full confidence.

1

Simulate

Run one command. We break a safe copy of your setup on purpose. Your live systems never even notice.

2

Observe

Watch every step as it happens. We measure how fast you recover and how much data you'd lose. Every service gets logged. It plugs into your monitoring tools.

3

Verify

Get a clear pass or fail report. It shows your recovery speed, your data loss, and each service's health. Fix the gaps before they turn into real outages.

UNDER THE HOOD

Why traditional DR testing fails

Old-school DR tests need production downtime, a room full of engineers, and weeks of planning. Rediacc uses btrfs, the storage engine that makes cheap instant copies possible. It clones your whole setup in seconds. The test runs on the copy. Production never stops.

Traditional DR Testing
Rediacc DR Testing
Needs production downtime
Tests on an isolated copy, zero production impact
3-5 days to plan, assemble team, execute
One command, 4 minutes, automated
Tested once a year (if ever), quarterly at best
Monthly, or via cron/CI: test as often as you deploy
Manual checks: someone decides it 'looks right'
Automated health checks: pass or fail with exact numbers
WHY IT MATTERS

What you get

Safe simulations

Test your failover without touching production. The test runs on an instant copy. Your live services never stop.

Full visibility

See exactly what happens during recovery, step by step. Every service, every port, every health check gets logged with exact times.

Confidence before chaos

Know your plan works before you need it. The test fits right into your CI pipeline. If it fails, you get an alert. Long before it matters.

THE GAP

DR testing tools compared

Most DR tools back up your data. Few let you test the full failover. None do it in 4 minutes with zero production impact.

We ran our first automated failover test on a Tuesday morning. It found 3 critical gaps — a stale DNS record, a missing SSL cert on the secondary, and a database replication lag of 4 minutes. All three would have caused a real outage. We fixed them in an afternoon. Now we test monthly and sleep better.
