Managed Disaster Recovery (DRaaS) FAQ’s
Managed Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is a fully outsourced solution where the partner handles the replication, protection and recovery of your critical systems, data and applications. Instead of relying on in‑house infrastructure or expertise, a managed disaster recovery service provides the infrastructure, expertise and standby resources to quickly recover to via the service provider.
Backups are part of a disaster recovery plan. Backups create copies of files, databases, applications and systems so they can be restored if they are lost or corrupted. Backups focus primarily on retention and restoration of data.
Disaster recovery goes further typically as an end-to-end solution by providing the processes, infrastructure, testing and resources to quickly recover in the event of a failure. Backups can be seen as how you get your data back, disaster recovery can be seen as how you get your business fully operational again.
A disaster recovery plan should be tested at least every 12 months but dependent on the system criticality and complexity it may be necessary to conduct tests more regularly.
Environments where changes occur regularly are also often required to be tested more often such as once per quarter to ensure the latest configuration still works in the disaster recovery environment.
Managed disaster recovery significantly reduces operational and financial risks by protecting your organisation against outages from events such as hardware failures, cyber attacks, human error, connectivity loss, etc. The risk reduction primarily comes from a well-rehearsed recovery plan, access to recovery experts and standby infrastructure that’s readily available to quickly recover to.
