Regionally Diverse Backups
Regionally diverse backups, also known as geo-redundant
backups, are used to protect data and ensure business continuity in the event
of a disaster:
Disaster recovery
By storing data in multiple regions, backups can be used
to recover from a disaster and reduce downtime.
Compliance
Backups can be stored in different geographical locations
to meet compliance requirements.
Data migration
Regionally diverse backups can migrate data
from one region to another.
Resiliency
Backups in multiple regions can help ensure that
workloads can continue to run even if one region experiences an outage.
Some examples of regionally diverse backups include:
AWS Backup: Allows customers to copy backups across
multiple services to different regions.
