Explanation
Disaster Recovery (DR) focuses on restoring systems, data, and operations as quickly as possible after a disruptive event (cyberattack, natural disaster, hardware failure, etc.). The goal is not to achieve 100% uptime - that is a goal of high availability architecture - nor to identify all vulnerabilities (that is vulnerability management) or prevent all incidents (that is prevention/hardening). DR is a reactive discipline aimed at reducing downtime and data loss, measured by Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO).
