The Disaster Recovery (DR) Policy provides a structured approach to maintain business continuity during unexpected outages, disasters, or critical failures. DR Policy is simple configuration where it tells frequent sync.
The purpose of a DR policy is to define when and how your application data should be backed up (Stage 1) and/or restored to the target cluster (Stage 2) for disaster recovery
1. To create a DR policy, you need to log in to the SWIFT dashboard and navigate to the ‘DR Policy’ under the Business Continuity & DR menu and click on ‘New’ button. Please see below screenshot.
2. After a click on ‘New’ you will get a new prompt to create a DR policy by selecting Sync type. Please check the screenshot below for more details. So, based on the requirement you can select the sync type and set a frequency. Add screenshot.
