1. Disaster Recovery as a Service or DRaaS is the replication and hosting servers (physical or virtual) by a third-party to provide failover during a man-made or natural an incident, emergency or disaster.

Notes (1): DRaaS is a recovery service that is utilisation-based.

Notes (2): DRaaS can be used to restore customer data, business applications and system configurations
