BCDR, immutability, and tested recovery
BCDR search intent: immutable backup, object lock, RPO/RTO, table-top exercises, and not confusing replication with a restore test.
Ransomware changed BCDR SEO
Queries often pair backup with air gap, immutability, and M365 awareness. A cloud provider story must be explicit: what is tested, how often, and what failure modes are rehearsed.
Frequently asked questions
Is replication the same as backup for ransomware?
No. Malware or a bad admin can delete replicated copies if the account has that power. Immutability and a separate control plane for backup recovery are the usual defense pattern.
When did we last prove we can restore, not that we can back up?
Testing restores in a real scenario—including Microsoft 365 scope where applicable—is the question auditors and insurers are converging on. A successful backup log without a tested restore is a weak position.
