Cloud computing plays a crucial role in disaster recovery by providing scalable, flexible and cost-effective data backup and recovery solutions. It enables organisations to quickly replicate and store critical data in remote locations, ensuring business continuity in the event of a disaster. In addition, cloud services automate many recovery processes, enabling rapid failover to backup systems, minimising downtime and reducing the risk of data loss. This capability increases business resilience and ensures that critical applications remain accessible regardless of physical disruption.
