What Is DR?

Disaster recovery (DR) is a wide concept.

In a broad sense, DR is a systematic project covering all the content related to business continuity. In terms of IT, DR provides a computer system that protects user service systems from various disasters.

DR is the ability to provide continuous services after an accident, such as a fire, earthquake, or power outage. This is achieved by setting up two or more IT systems with the same functions in dispersed areas. If one system stops, the services can quickly recover on the other system and continue to run properly.

The purpose of DR is to ensure maximum service continuity in the event of a natural or human-caused disaster on production systems.
