Offsite DR

The Offsite Copy/Disaster Recovery (DR) option enables you to set up a secondary copy of your backup data, stored either offsite, or on the BDRSuite Cloud. This secondary copy serves as a reliable resource during times of disaster or data loss. With the offsite data copy, you have the flexibility to restore data to your secondary site or rebuild the backup server from scratch, ensuring business continuity and data protection.
