Backups are simply a copy of your data and the systems that you have. If your system fails or falls victim to ransomware attacks, you can use the backups to bring everything online again. A disaster recovery solution takes it a step further. On top of keeping copies of your system, it can help you resume workloads that are important to your business after a natural disaster, server failure, or if a cyber-attack happens. A disaster recovery solution will have a backup feature as it gives you a copy or several copies of your data, which you will need to restore. You may mistakenly think that these are the same things, but think of this way: having a copy of your data and files is not enough for business continuity.
