Azure Site Recovery replicates workloads running on physical and virtual machines (VMs) from a primary site to a secondary location. When an outage occurs at your primary site, you fail over to secondary location, and access apps from there. After the primary location is running again, you can fail back to it.

FAQ
You can benefit from Azure backup service to back up On-prem or Azure cloud resources:
- On-Premises: Back up files, folders, OS
- Azure VMs: Back up entire Windows/Linux VMs (using backup extensions) or back up files, folders
- Azure Managed Disks: Back up Azure Managed Disks
- Azure Files shares: Back up Azure File shares to a storage account
- SQL Server in Azure VMs: Back up SQL Server databases running on Azure VMs
- Azure Blobs: Back up all your blob storages
Azure Site Recovery contributes to your business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) strategy, by orchestrating and automating replication of Azure VMs between regions, on-premises virtual machines and physical servers to Azure, and on-premises machines to a secondary datacenter.
- Azure VMs
- Hyper-V VMs
- Physical servers
You can leverage Azure Site Recovery to protect most workloads running on a supported VM or physical server. Site Recovery provides support for application-aware replication, so that apps can be seamlessly recovered to an intelligent state.
Yes. When you use Site Recovery to orchestrate replication and failover in your branch offices, you’ll get a unified orchestration and view of all your branch office workloads in a central location. You can easily run failovers and administer disaster recovery of all branches from your head office, without visiting the branches.
Recovery point objective (RPO):
The amount of acceptable data loss if a recovery needs to be done.
Azure backup solutions have wide variability in their acceptable RPO:
Virtual machine backups usually have an RPO of one day, while database backups have RPOs as low as 15 minutes.
Azure Site Recovery solutions have low RPOs. The DR copy can be behind by a few seconds or a few minutes.
Recovery time objective (RTO):
The amount of time that it takes to complete a recovery or restore.
Azure backup solutions have high RTO’s because of the larger RPO, the amount of data that a backup solution needs to process is typically much higher.
Azure site Recovery solutions have smaller RTOs because they are more in sync with the source.
