Quickly: Backup, Disaster Recovery and High Availability, what’s the difference?

Quickly, so you don’t get confused…

Backup: This is the copying of a company’s important data, which can be carried out periodically, to protect against loss of information due to technical failures, human errors or natural disasters. The main objective is to ensure data recovery in case of problems.

Disaster Recovery: It is the process of planning, preparing and recovering systems and data in the event of disasters, such as fires, landslides, floods, among others. The objective is to ensure business continuity, even in adverse situations.

How to make a Disaster Recovery plan?

High availability: It is the guarantee that a system is available and working without interruptions, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This is achieved through hardware redundancy, backup systems and automatic recovery. The objective is to minimize downtime and ensure constant system availability.

In short, backup is data protection, Disaster Recovery is system recovery in case of disasters and High Availability is the guarantee of constant availability of a system.
