Explanation

Duplicate processing facilities (also called mirrored sites) are recovery sites that an organization builds and maintains entirely on its own - they are not shared with or provided by a third-party vendor. Like hot sites, they are fully equipped and operational with up-to-date hardware, software, and data, enabling near-instant failover. The key distinction is ownership and dedication: a hot site is typically leased from a recovery services vendor and may be shared among multiple clients, while a duplicate processing facility is proprietary and exclusively used by one organization. Cold sites provide only basic infrastructure (power, space) with no pre-installed equipment. Warm sites have some equipment but require additional setup. 'Orange sites' is not a standard disaster recovery classification.
