What is Google Cloud Backup and DR?
Backup and DR is a managed service that backs up virtual machines, databases, and file systems on Google Cloud from a single console, manages retention rules, and speeds up recovery in a disaster. Backup vaults protect against ransomware by preventing backups from being deleted or altered.

How to build a disaster recovery plan
- 01
Set your objectives
For each system, write down how much data loss (RPO) and how much downtime (RTO) you can accept.
- 02
Choose the architecture
Backup only, a standby environment, or active operation across two regions. Cost varies with the target.
- 03
Test it
Run a real restore drill at least once a year and document the result.
