Azure Backup And Recovery Interview Questions And Answers [2020]

What options does Azure provide for disaster recovery of Azure Virtual Machines?

Azure provides Azure Site Recovery (ASR) service for disaster recovery of Azure Virtual Machines.

When you setup disaster recovery using Azure Site Recovery, Azure VMs continously replicate to a different secondary region. If an outage happens on the primary region, then you can fail over to the secondary region and access the VMs from that location. After the outage recovers, you can fail back to the primary location again.
