MULTI-CLOUD

Test your failover before you need it

Run disaster simulations safely. Know your recovery actually works. No surprises when it matters most.

Every cloud has 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 haven’t. They assume it works. Then disaster hits and they find out it doesn’t. An untested plan is not a plan. It’s a hope.

Only 13% of organizations use orchestrated DR workflows Veeam 2024 Data Protection Trends Report [1]
Only 32% of organizations can recover 50 servers within a business week Veeam 2024 Data Protection Trends Report [1]
Only 58% of servers resumed within SLA 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 rdc failover test --simulate. Controlled failure against a clone. Zero risk to production.

2

Observe

Watch every step in real time. RTO, RPO, service health — all measured and logged. Connects to your monitoring stack.

3

Verify

Get a pass/fail report with exact RTO, RPO, and per-service health. Fix gaps before they become real outages.

UNDER THE HOOD

Why traditional DR testing fails

Traditional DR tests require production downtime, a team of engineers, and weeks of planning. Rediacc uses btrfs copy-on-write snapshots to create an isolated clone of your entire infrastructure in seconds. The test runs against the clone — production never stops.

Traditional DR Testing
Rediacc DR Testing
Requires production downtime window
Tests against isolated clone, zero production impact
3-5 days to plan, assemble team, execute
One command, 4 minutes, automated
Tested annually (if at all) — quarterly at best
Monthly or via cron/CI — test as often as you deploy
Manual verification — “looks right” judgment calls
Automated health checks — pass/fail with exact RTO/RPO
WHY IT MATTERS

What you get

Safe simulations

Test failover without affecting production. The simulation runs against a btrfs clone — your live services never stop.

Full visibility

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

Confidence before chaos

Know your disaster plan works before you need it. Failover test integrates with your CI pipeline — failed? You get an alert before it matters.

THE GAP

DR testing tools compared

Most DR solutions 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.
