Hybrid Recovery
Hybrid Recovery is a disaster recovery strategy that combines on-premises infrastructure with cloud-based resources to ensure business continuity and data protection. It leverages both local backups for quick restoration and cloud backups for off-site redundancy, providing a balanced approach to recovery time objectives (RTO) and recovery point objectives (RPO). This methodology is commonly used in IT environments to mitigate risks from hardware failures, natural disasters, or cyberattacks.
Developers should learn and implement Hybrid Recovery when building or maintaining systems that require high availability and data resilience, such as enterprise applications, e-commerce platforms, or critical infrastructure. It is particularly useful in scenarios where rapid local recovery is needed for minor incidents, while cloud backups serve as a fail-safe for catastrophic events, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and minimizing downtime costs.
