Abstract
Regardless of size or function, every organization requires a disaster recovery plan (DRP) to ensure business continuity in case of a service interruption due to a cyber-attack or a natural calamity like a flood and fire. In addition, these plans should achieve target recovery requirements of recovery time. Earlier disaster recovery was done via storing backups at a data center. However, this required the organization to maintain every aspect of the data center. This maintenance can quickly increase the operational cost, leading to smaller organizations not implementing their disaster recovery plan. Then in the 2000s, cloud computing came along and brought an entirely new way to implement DRP. This technological leap came with its pros and cons. Traditional DR has kept the data protected for a long time, but we must evaluate the differences with the advent of novel technologies like cloud DR. This paper compares and contrasts conventional DR techniques and the newer cloud-based approach. Furthermore, we also look at current cloud-based DR solutions along with their pros and cons.
