What Is Disaster Recovery (DR)?
Search Disaster Recovery, Thursday, April 25th, 2024
Disaster recovery (DR) is an organization's ability to respond to and recover from an event that negatively affects business operations.
The goal of DR is to reduce downtime, data loss and operational disruptions while maintaining business continuity by restoring critical applications and infrastructure ideally within minutes after an outage. To prepare for this, organizations often perform an in-depth analysis of their systems and IT infrastructure and create a formal document to follow in times of crisis. This document is known as a disaster recovery plan.
