Backup is the process of copying data to a separate location for safekeeping; disaster recovery is the broader strategy to resume operations after a failure. A good backup is necessary but not sufficient for disaster recovery, which also requires tested recovery procedures, documentation, and often replication to ensure business continuity.
Frequency depends on your Recovery Point Objective (RPO), which is how much data loss you can tolerate. Most businesses back up critical data daily, whilst less critical data may be backed up weekly. Real-time or hourly backups are common for mission-critical systems to minimise data loss.
Industry best practice is 3-2-1: three copies of data, on two different media types, with one copy offsite. Local backups offer speed; cloud backups offer geographic redundancy and protection from site-wide disasters. A hybrid approach using both is most robust for business continuity.
