Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery.
Disaster Recovery (DR) focuses on the restoration of IT infrastructure and data after a disruptive event, ensuring that systems can be recovered and brought back online swiftly. On the other hand, Business Continuity (BC) encompasses a broader scope, aiming to maintain critical business functions during and after a disaster, addressing not only IT but also people, processes, and facilities.

Restoration

Good Processes
Processes such as data backup, system replication, and failover mechanisms, need planning and documentation
In essence, while Disaster Recovery primarily focuses on the technical aspects of IT system recovery, Business Continuity takes a broader view, encompassing the entire organization and its ability to maintain critical functions during and after a disaster. Both are integral components of a comprehensive risk management strategy aimed at ensuring organizational resilience.
