Topic FAQ
Common questions about business continuity
Use these answers to decide what to read next or what to review in your own environment.
Is backup the same as disaster recovery?
No. Backup is about protected copies of data. Disaster recovery is about how the business gets back to work after something fails.
What should a backup review include?
A backup review should confirm what is protected, where backups live, how often they run, who can restore them, and what recovery would realistically look like.
Do cloud apps still need backup planning?
Often, yes. Cloud platforms reduce some risks, but they do not automatically solve accidental deletion, account compromise, or recovery planning.
