Recovery & Backup Go Back

2022-07-11

Between backup and disaster recovery, there are key differences. Making a second copy—or numerous copies—of data is known as a backup. You back up data to protect it. You might need to restore backup data if you encounter an accidental deletion, database corruption, or a problem with a software upgrade.

The plan and procedures for speedily restoring access to IT resources like apps and data following an outage are referred to as disaster recovery. In order to maintain functionality while your primary data center is being repaired, that strategy can require switching to a redundant set of servers and storage devices.
