This backup can restore the data to how it was when it was copied, helping to preserve data accuracy and protect your business information. While backups can be used for disaster recovery, they aren’t comparable to replication and failover solutions for achieving low Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and low Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs).
