    IBM's disaster recovery is a very good tool to backup and recover in case of any unforeseen cyber attack or any kind of threat. It lets us back up data like files, images, videos, artifacts, system configuration, etc. We can backup daily and recover the latest data possible. It works in background and doesn't consume much RAM unlike its competitors. UI is very intuitive and has good customisation upon what services or data that can be backed up and recovered.

    It is a solution that allows us to have disaster recovery on similar equipment in another datacenter and not as we have done against another cloud, it is quite efficient in the management and configuration of its replicas, givining the ability to backup and duplicate data quickly and simple to another location in case of an accident.
