AWS Backup and Disaster Recovery Strategy

KRKabir Rao· Cloud Solutions Architect March 24, 2026 6 min read

Running on AWS doesn't remove your responsibility for backup and recovery. A deliberate DR strategy is what turns an outage into a non-event.

The building blocks

  • AWS Backup for centralised, policy-based backups
  • Cross-region replication for regional resilience
  • Defined RTO and RPO per workload
  • Regular failover tests, not just backup jobs
DR you haven't tested is a theory. Rehearse the failover.

We design and test AWS DR so recovery is predictable when you need it.
