Disaster Recovery
What is Disaster Recovery and how is it different from Backup?
DR protects an entire protected computer, usually a server.
Backup protects only files.
In practice, how is DR superior to backup?
Once a computer is configured for DR, no one has to remember to add new files or folders because everything is backed-up.
Because everything is backed-up, anything can be restored to an earlier point-in-time: from the entire server to a single email.
