Disaster Recovery Systems
Disaster Recovery Systems are comprehensive strategies and technical implementations designed to restore IT infrastructure, data, and applications after a disruptive event such as natural disasters, cyberattacks, or hardware failures. They involve planning, processes, and tools to ensure business continuity by minimizing downtime and data loss. Key components include backup solutions, failover mechanisms, recovery procedures, and testing protocols.
Developers should learn and implement Disaster Recovery Systems to protect critical business operations and data integrity, especially in industries like finance, healthcare, and e-commerce where downtime can lead to significant financial losses or legal issues. Use cases include setting up automated backups, designing redundant architectures in cloud environments, and creating incident response plans to quickly restore services after outages or security breaches.
