Both Backups and a Disaster Recovery (DR) plan should be part of your business’ risk mitigation strategy.
Each of these tools play a pivotal role in protecting data and systems. However, it is important to clarify the difference between Cloud Backups and a Disaster Recovery Solution.
Cloud Backups are done nightly, are meant to protect data from accidental deletion and assist with one-off file or system restores. Backups are an important part of a data protection strategy.
Disaster Recovery (DR) is focused on implementing a system that will streamline the process of restoring data and systems, should the need arise. A Disaster Recovery Solution should be used alongside your organization’s Cloud Backups.
Modern Disaster Recovery solutions allow organizations the ability to set the acceptable Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO). This is the amount of time to get back up and running and when the last time the data was backed up. (Here’s a video to describe the difference between RTO and RPO.
