 Introduction to Disaster Recovery
 Azure Site Recovery is a cloud-based disaster recovery service that
replicates workloads running on virtual machines from a primary site to
a secondary site. The secondary site can be in a different data center or
in the cloud. In the event of an IT disaster at the primary site,
workloads can be quickly failed over to the secondary site, ensuring
that critical business functions can continue without significant
downtime.
• Why use Azure Site Recovery?
 The primary reason for using Azure Site Recovery is to minimize
downtime in the event of an IT disaster. The service provides
businesses with a cost-effective, reliable, and
scalable disaster recovery solution that can be easily integrated with
their existing IT infrastructure.
 What is Azure site recovery -ASR

Azure Site Recovery services helps in

testing the DR plan regularly to ensure
compliance, without disturbing the
workloads or end-consumers. Added
to this, it ensures that applications
keep on running during downtime or
outage, either from on-perm to Azure
or from Azure to another Azure region
 How Azure Disaster Recovery Works
• With disaster recovery setup, Azure VMs continuously replicate to a different target region. If an
outage occurs, you can fail over VMs to the secondary region, and access them from there. When
everything's running normally again, you can fail back and continue working in the primary
location.

Scenarios

2.On-Premises-to-Azure Recovery
3.Implimentation
 Azure to Azure disaster Recovery
Source Environment: The primary environment is on-premises, while the secondary environment is in
Azure.
Implementation: You replicate resources from
one Azure region to another within the same
Azure subscription or across different
subscriptions. Azure Site Recovery (ASR) is
used to replicate resources such as virtual
machines, ensuring data redundancy and
failover capability within Azure

• Use Case: This setup is suitable for

protecting and replicating Azure virtual
machines and applications across Azure
regions for high availability and disaster
recovery purposes within the Azure
cloud environment.
 On-Premises-to-Azure Recovery:
Source Environment: In this scenario, both the primary and secondary environments are in Azure.

Implementation: You replicate on-premises virtual

machines or physical servers to Azure using Azure
Site Recovery (ASR). ASR facilitates the
replication, failover, and failback processes,
ensuring minimal downtime and data loss in case
of a disaster or planned failover event.
• Use Case: This scenario is used when
organizations want to extend their disaster
recovery capabilities to the cloud, leveraging
Azure's scalability and redundancy for their
on-premises workloads.

 Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) Strategy
Business continuity and disaster recovery are two aspects of crisis management that
help organizations return to normal operations after a disaster
