What is Cloud Disaster Recovery? 
Cloud disaster recovery is a type of DR that uses the cloud to protect your data and applications from 
disasters. With cloud DR, you can replicate your data and apps to the cloud so that they can be quickly 
restored in the event of an outage or disaster. 
Types of Cloud Disaster Recovery? 
There are two main types of cloud DR: active-active and active-passive. 
1.Active-Active Cloud DR: 
With active-active cloud DR, your data and applications are always available in the cloud. This type of DR 
is ideal for businesses that need to keep their data and apps up and running at all times. 
2. Active-Passive Cloud DR: 
With active-passive cloud DR, your data and apps are replicated to the cloud, but only one copy is active 
at a time. This type of DR is ideal for businesses that can tolerate some downtime in the event of an 
outage or disaster. 
How Does Cloud Disaster Recovery Work? 
Cloud disaster recovery works by replicating your data and applications to the cloud. This way, if your 
on-premises data center goes down, you can quickly restore your data and apps from the cloud. 
To set up cloud DR, you'll need to choose a cloud provider and a cloud DR solution. There are many 
different cloud providers and cloud DR solutions available, so be sure to do your research to find the 
best fit for your business. 
Once you've chosen a cloud provider and a cloud DR solution, you'll need to set up your replicas. 
Replicas are copies of your data and applications that are stored in the cloud. To create a replica, you'll 
need to use a backup tool to copy your data and apps to the cloud. 
Once you've created your replicas, you'll need to configure them. This includes specifying how often you 
want your replicas to be updated and what should happen in the event of an outage or disaster. 
Once you've configured your replicas, you're ready to test your cloud DR solution. Be sure to test your 
solution regularly to ensure that it's working as expected. 
Conclusion 
We hope this blog post has helped you understand the basics of cloud disaster recovery. Cloud DR can 
help you keep your data and applications safe from disasters, but it's important to choose the right 
solution for your business. Be sure to do your research and test your solution regularly to ensure that it 
meets your needs.
