AWS ELASTIC DISASTER RECOVERY

How is disaster recovery different from backup?

Backup Disaster recovery


• Restores data and files • Recovers entire application
• Recovery objectives of hours or days and system state
• Longer retention period • RPO of seconds, RTO of minutes
• Change-based, continuous replication

Disaster recovery benefits of the cloud

Traditional disaster recovery DR in the cloud


• Massive upfront & ongoing hardware cost • Pay as you go for the rightsized
compute/storage
• Management and infrastructure overhead
• Lower IT overhead
• Data growth increases costs
• More automation
• Separation of test and production
environment • Easy and repeatable testing

• Vulnerable to cyber threats/hacking • Systems up in minutes (not hours/days!)
