Let’s start with some definitions: Disaster Recovery (DR): A strategic security planning model that seeks to protect an enterprise from the effects of natural or human-induced disaster, such as a tornado or cyber attack. A DR plan aims to maintain critical functions before, during, and after a disaster event, thereby causing minimal disruption to business continuity. Backup: The copying of data into a secondary form (i.e. archive file), which can be used to restore the original file in the event of a disaster event. As you can see, they aren’t synonyms. And you can’t ignore either one. Disaster recovery and data backups
