Disaster recovery and backup
You need both

Disaster recovery
When your applications have a catastrophic
failure, quickly recover and run them in Azure
or a secondary datacenter

Backup
When your data is corrupted or lost, restore your
data to the original location or a new location—
you can retain backups for a long time
